I'm not intending this as a dig at injured players because they're genuinely unlucky .

But thank goodness for Croasdale, just does his job. No fuss. Hard nut really isn't he. Looked in trouble at Christmas, might of been Bradford he was on his last legs limping around, yet he was in the team the next game. Great signing and unsung hero. 

Agreed. Some engine on him 🏃‍♂️

Any Salford scout with a braincell could stand anywhere within the red line, any day of the week, and learn anything they wanted about us. Maybe bring there dog and do a few laps. 

But yeah, it's the forum posts that have given away all our secrets!! Whatever will we do!!

Yes Giggsy was walking his female dogs.

Don’t think I ever said forum but I know for a fact clubs monitor all forms of opposition social media.

Moore has spoken to the press since Notts & talked about the injury list. No mention of Tolaj. I’ve heard his & Garrity’s latest injuries were from training. Ben did look in some pain during the Notts game so not sure about that one but the gaffer would have mentioned Lorent when asked about our current situation. This suggests to me Tolaj was fit at the time of the interview 🤷‍♂️ 

He was asked about specific names, and replied about them players only. He won't embellish if not needed. Garrity's injury happened when the free kick was given away at the end.

Ahhh man. I didn't realise we were being monitored!

It’s alright the government will soon put a stop it😀

 

Apologies to everyone for creeping politics in.
 

Won’t happen again.

Maybe so but I’ve been told Tolaj has been injured in training. However we are getting far too many whether it’s during a match or in training etc etc

He wasn’t on the training pitch today so it’s spread like wildfire on line.
Could be a precautionary not to have him on the grass or injured in the hope he’s Ok tomorrow Or he is out injured
We will soon see tomorrow….
It does highlight a problem the club has not having training away from Joe Public who happily help the opposition giving away our injury issues.
Stupidity.

Is this the reason for the rumours then?

There could be a plethora of reasons why he wasn't on the training pitch today. Classroom work? Gym work? A personal matter? Resting a slight knock so as to be fit for tomorrow?

Allegedly… exactly right could be anything. Maybe parental leave😂

 

You seriously worry about how many players we could put out every week if we didn't 'load manage'.

Good job we got ahead of that one!

If he's anything like me he's in bed with a mug of Lemsip.

Blimey at this rate Broome and Lowe will starting morrow 😭

One thing I don't understand is why, if indeed opposition scouts could come and watch us, they don't?

On the other side of it we've got people like loony Gareth who would quite happily tell most of the Western Hemisphere our starting line up, injuries, whether Darren Moore has two sugars and what time Ryan Croasdale farted during training. 

I just can't see the point in people going to watch training, or hearing an unsubstantiated rumour, and then putting it on here.

Oh, and opposition scouts do look at message boards. I know two who do.

Probably to keep fans informed. I don’t see the issue in saying Hackford is starting tomorrow. It’s not exactly going to take the opposition a lot to adapt to playing against him 

Matchday! ⚽️ Let’s keep this year’s momentum going & increase the pressure on those around us! Come on the Vale 💪🏻 
 

3-0! Curtis, Hackford & Byers.
