Unfortunate or a little naive?
Injuries at this stage of the season, especially when competing on three fronts are sadly inevitable.
Throw in the fact we had Mitoma & Adringra competing at international tournaments amidst that & Enciso returning from a really nasty injury, it seemed obvious...
Completely agree, Barco needs plenty of time to bed in. We knew that when we signed him as RDZ pointed out this afternoon.
I was furthering the point made by OP about our investment in January having zero short-term benefits in plugging gaps left by inevitable injuries.
