I know Pittman can get a injury at anytime but i don't think its the time to drop him. If PH brings LJL back in i think he would lose respect of the team.

The Undropable will be back in the starting 11 tomorrow. Feel sorry for whichever of Pittman or Palmer that is dropped. The same goes for people like Paddy who have to battle for a place and end up being dropped irrespective of performance whereas LJL walks straight back in. He's the only player that Hurst feels the need to not only come out and defend in the Telegraph but also try and make excuses for the number of chances that he misses ie "He has played a lot more, so you would expect his ratio to be slightly lower".

But Hurst is hardly likely to say in the press that our top scorer is definitley not playing is he - why would he give that away. Sometimes people need to step back from getting so wound up by his press comments. We know he keeps things close to his chest.

After all, he didn't drop out due to injury and he's not on the recovery from one in the way Palmer is. Not quite sure would you think he hasn't been training, especially when Hurst says he has looked sharp in training this week! http://www.grimsbytelegraph.co.....61-detail/story.html A lot depends on the fitness of Palmer, I expect. Let's hope he's OK to play.

Let's hope he's OK to play. I thought he hadnt been training because the talk has been of him 'rejoining' the squad. I assume that he had been given some form of paternity. It was that he wouldnt be fit, more that he wouldnt be sharp with the ball. Again Hurst is highly unlikely to say that 'Lenny has been terrible in training' is he, when he may need to start him depending upon the fitness of others.

It is only two weeks since he played almost 90 minutes so it's not as it he's had a lengthy lay-off. If anything, I'd hope the rest could have done him some good as he looked a bit jaded during some of the games in February which is not too surprising when you consider he had played pretty much every minute of every game in the preceding months. The lack of any mention of Palmer's fitness is a bit of a worry to me because I reckon he might be struggling to be fit tomorrow when you consider his and Hurst's comments after the game last weekend.
