Not having to select the same players game after game enabling most of them to get a rest or break during the season between games as we've managed thus far lessens the chances of injuries caused by the stress of overplaying someone. Should at the least lessen the chance of soft tissue injuries throughout the season.

It's not complacency, it's acknowledging the difference between the 2 squads. The injuries have been no different (Kayla/Rosenior/march/golds on - bong/rosenior/march) but we've coped better due to the summer squad strengthening.
No emergency loans of MLS left backs.
Do you agree SB ?
We have more strength in depth than last season and the fact that last season was worse does not mean we've been super lucky with injuries, because we haven't. LR wasn't inured because of being injury prone, he was taken out.
I'm talking about the complacency, thankfully of many on NSC, and hopefully not the club, going forward.
We are only halfway through this brilliant season.
Lot's of blasé comments around not needing Kaz & understandably Elvis, moving wingers into the middle and full backs up to wingers if need be, etc.
Not getting x,y or z in because precious snowflakes like Duffy, Bruno, Stocko, Dunk Murray (it's fantastic just how long that sarcastic list could be) won't be able to deal with an 'attitude' upsetting the togetherness.
The assumption of being 1/10 for automatic promotion therefore the team is promoted.
They'll not be offering 1/10 if the Albion are 3rd after the FA Cup weekend.

But on the other hand, you've admitted yourself to being very negative. I think we will sign a striker to add the depth but don't think we'll replace LuaLua. In the summer, you were very negative about our chances, especially when we didn't get in a back up to Baldock, and look where we are now.
Maybe it is not others being complacent but you being negative.
As for those saying we've not had the injuries we had last season, I think you need to look more carefully. We've rarely had a game with less than four players out injured and one of them has been last season's player of the season since September (something we only faced for three games last season and struggled with). Alongside that, Rosenior, Goldson, Huhnemeier, March, LuaLua and Towell have all missed a number of games. Hardly no injuries.

A Chris Martin / Fernando Forestieri type character.
There's a lot of bad apples in football. Seems like this sqaud is full of decent blokes at the moment.

I've said it before. I'm sure the incoming players psychological profiles are an important part of Hughton's selection process.
Team player mindset is what is our man strength has been since Chris arrived.

Looking at what happened with Pritchard, I think it is fair to assume that the club will be doing their best to keep any possible signings to themselves. They are probably happy for random names to be mentioned to distract everyone from real targets.

So basically Naylor has no idea and is just saying who he is sure (and lets not forget he has been wrong before) we are not in for. He mentioned Judge and Keane as not top targets. No one has a bloody clue, and has mentioned before the club will want it this way after Pritchard did a U-turn on the M25.

This, none of us should forget the cynical attack on Liam, the thug who perpetrated the assault should be left in no doubt as to how he is perceived by BHA supporters, just as how his act was welcomed by some of the tinpotters at the time, they also should be left in doubt as to how we perceive them. A despicable act by a despicable thug welcomed by some of their disgusting support.
Unforgivable, especially considering how he once played for them and throughout his career has been considered one of footballs nice guys. He will probably pick up a "minor knock" though.

Has been putting points on the board for them recently, and in the subsequent games following that incident, which he should have been banned for.
Where there is no doubt as to the deliberateness of the foul, as in this case, and a player has to miss games as a result of his injury then the player making the foul should be banned for the same time it takes to recover from the injury.

Hardly gloom is it? We're top of the league, eight points and a game in hand ahead of third place and are on an incredible run. I imagine he simply got asked at the press conference about possible new signings and said we are looking but comfortable with what we have. What do you want him to say? We are absolutely desperate to get new players and will pay any price for them.

Well he would say that wouldn't he? It's a good negotiating tactic.

We get this article or similar every window. I hate it every time.
Would rather hear nothing than gloom and doom.
At least there wasn't the dreaded 'overheated' word though I suppose.
