They can also happen on grass. I’m not sure if the evidence indicated that such injuries were more common on artificial pitches than on grass. I’d imagine with the new 3/4 G pitches that any evidence is even less significant. Wrong listen to Bunns interview Maidstone Part 2 on Ifollow. He actually states he had to retire age 26. I think he knows the age he retired better than you. Edited November 30, 2018 by Smiler13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well Wiki is wrong on his age then as according to it, he was 27 when he played in the League Cup final. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most normal people hate it and has been responsible for at leat two serious injuries in the SPL this season. Probably cause cancer. Should be enough evidence for the FA to start rolling them out soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

League one forever Posted December 2, 2018 Share Posted December 2, 2018 It’s nearly half 2. Tempted to go all shuck on Bunn. . But I won’t. What I will say is, that was a big, big, win today. For him and the club. A few mentioned the upturn since Rhodes left- maybe’s it’s just coincidence. Maybe AL saw something he didn’t like- Who knows. The up shot is we’re 6 unbeaten, on a nice little run, with a bit more positive football. Who knows where it might take us. . Probably 12th. Night.

Agreed and I'm happy for him. The 6 game run that we're on isn't spectacular (1 league win, 3 draws and 2 non-league wins) but they have been decent and mostly professional performances which do look like providing a foundation to build on, rather than games like Mansfield earlier in the season where we were clinging on and lucky to get a point. Very much in keeping with the "slowly slowly" of AL (if he stands by it). On paper the decision on Rhodes seemed to be ridiculous and to be honest it still might be, but if this is a results business then AL could argue that he's made a brave call at an important financial stage of the season and it's paid off. Call me negative/unambitious but my overriding hope for the club this season is that the bottom doesn't fall out and that we stop the rot on the pitch and off it so that we can build again in the coming seasons. This is exactly the run we needed to allay those fears and I feel the way the team is currently set up it isn't going to go on a massive losing run to drop us in to a relegation battle. Sadly due to the current injury situation, the subsequent lack of depth and the uncertainty over the extent that we can strengthen in January, I'd be surprised if we go any higher than mid-table. But less talented sides have been successful in this league so you never know. I don't think we've got anything to lose by giving Bunn the rest of the season. If he's unlikely to push us on any further at that stage then so be it and we can go separate ways, but the club would be in a much better position for a year of stability under him.
