I don't get why he even bothered to comment on Lee being available for this game if he had no intention of putting him in the squad!!  If he was ready to go then he should have been on the bench at least to give us more options.  As for putting a couple of hundred bums on seats in the stadium, do we really believe that the return of Lee would do that anyway??  Imo, he is just giving the media and the fans statements that they want to hear, real truth doesn't come into it these days with football, its run like the Secret Service with regards to believable information!!!

Dont think we will see Lee, Lees & Hutch until after the international break at the earliest, if then tbh. Theres definitely something wrong with fitness/recovery progam for our injured players. Lavery is also out longer than scheduled for.

Apparently, it's Lees' first muscular injury of his career. The evidence is builing up regarding our Injury Prevention Team, or rather the lack of it.

You keep saying that, but surely MM/PA/SG are aware of the benefits a program like that offers??  Sure I can see MM keeping the costs down across the board but injured players cost us money with no return and as a businessman surely he is aware of that??

Think MM decides on these matters & SG has to go along with it. If someone brings up that it cost us promotion then he will say there was no guarantee we would have done better wuth Hutch & Lee in the team and / or injuries happen in football & we have to live with them.
