Arnold

Quoted from jamesgtfc

I've heard that he's been complaining that he doesn't feel right and the club have told him it is all in his head. Arnold yesterday paid for a scan off his own back that revealed the injury is higher up his leg than our medical team have been treating.

Got to question our medical team, I recall Adrian Forbes wasn't very complimentary about Dave Moore.

Questioned about Dave Moore too , injuries that don't appear to heal , Hearn prime example . ?
He always standds with Hurst , so is he assistant manager or physio ?
Being an ex manager of scunny !!!

I really like when Dave Moore forces injured players to hobble off the pitch unassisted rather than calling for a stretcher (Hearn when he injured his knee last season, Pearson against Lincoln, Pittman against Torquay this season etc).

Quoted from DocTower

I End of the season he goes back to Cambridge and starts again as a league player with his parent club .

I'm guessing he'll be out of a job at the end of the season.

Was in the main stand giggling with his mrs most of last night apparently.

This season has been a little like travelling back in time 4 years, Hurst playing the part of Neil 'plucky' Woods and Arnold starring as Charles 'Never Ready' Ademeno, along with a startlingly realistic cast portraying all the other under achieving Class of 2010 team, even down to the odd drubbing of opponents by 6 or 7 goals to give us the impresssion that we've finally 'clicked'.

Hurst mentioned it's the same calf but in a different place in the calf.

If this is the case and the pain moves around in the same muscle, then the chances are it has a huge nerve component to it.

These are tricky to control especially if you are only focusing on the calf!!!! This happened to rio Ferdinand at utd.

I think he could genuinely have a very tricky injury, but I just didn't feel the remarks from Hurst last night were what they might have been had this been the case. I've felt that before. Maybe it's just me. Something in Hurst's words and tone. As has already been stated, we need to move quickly to replace him whatever is going on. We were already short of strikers/attacking wide players so we're lacking at least 2 now IMO.

It's alright discussing this and that, but the writing is on the wall - if we want to mount a promotion challenge in what looks like a very competitive division this year we need to act and get the players we need or be caught well short. I think this actually hints at a fundamental issue with the whole club for me - we're trying to hedge our bets to promotion. Do it as cheaply as we can. Cut corners. Gamble. Give it another go, instead of seeing clearly what needs to be done and doing it, single-mindedly and clinically - with real intent and no room for second best. It's why we're not in the title race.

I think you are right. The overall impression is that we are less professional than some of the part time outfits.

My gut instinct is that it will cost the Board (Fenty) either way. Either they stump up a proper budget for the right manager or the club will slowly sink in further debt should the current malaise continue.

Promotion costs - it's 18 years since it last happened!
