Your book got any other useful nuggets of wisdom in it?

Who knows? with a stronger squad and players returning from injury, even places on the bench are becoming a premium now.

We normally go with 7 'attackers' in the 18.
Zamora, Wilson, Hemed, Skalak, Knockaert, Lua Lua, Murphy leaves no place for Baldock.

Yeah and what about March as well all he had was a scratch on his knee

It's an interesting point though as players do tend to fall into the sick note/non sick note categories. What value do you put on the ability to play regularly. How much better does a 10 game a season player have to be to justify singing him over a 40 game man?

Most footballers love to play and I'm sure that nobody will be more frustrated than Sam Baldock himself.

Yes he probably deliberately injured himself and the club must have known about this when they signed him
About 4 times better.

There are players that seem to be a bit more fragile, but it is not as easy as saying, this player will never get injured, or that one will only ever play ten games a season is it?
You just don't know for sure, Lua Lua, Crofts and Solly March have probably got the worst injury records of any of our current players, and I would not want to get rid of any of them.

I didn't say that and as it happens I rate Baldock. I assume the point you are making is we wouldn't have known that when we signed him. I wasn't specifically pointing the finger at the Baldock situation but merely raising the question. We know that Buckley is a sick note but would you buy him above a lesser quality player with a proven track record on fitness because you knew you could get 10 match winning games out of him?

Or Murphy ? or (initially) Skalak or Lua Lua (if he still has that knock) etc etc

I am one of the few who think Murphy has done well in the past few games, so not Murphy ( in my opinion ).
Skalak *should* be up to speed, and looks excellent - surely on the bench.
Clearly, Lua Lua may or may not be injured, that'll be top secret I suspect.
