I am concerned at the number of hamstring injuries our players have been picking up. The risk of these being suffered can be reduced/mitigated by the right training, recovery and preparation. I am sure we are on it, but once a player starts getting hamstring issues they can recur. 🤞 that’s it in Eth...

We are slow off the mark, but we have a bigger group to organise than the core season ticket holders so we would probably not have chosen our season ticket seats.

I entirely agree with Big Steve, and would add that he also had good ideas for the direction of the game and tried to make SL more professional. Even his “mistakes” - arguably, bringing back players too readily and being too slow to move on when things were not working - spring from positive qualiti...
