Good luck with it. Worked fine on one of our boxes but completely knackered the other (main) one. Engineer coming tomorrow, should have been today but they forgot to complete the booking !! On the box that does work it’s actually quite decent. 40 minutes on the phone to Virgin. They haven't got a clue. They say equipment is all OK for the Service. They will send an engineer to look at it...... do you have the black remote with the yellow pause button?

Given the injuries we e had over that last 12-18 months I don’t think the club or manager have been whingeing every 5 minutes. Far more whinging going on on here about Challinor trying to protect players than he’s done about the actual injuries. Messageboards are literally designed for whingeing! I wonder how the faceache group is getting on.

They will send an engineer to look at it...... They had no clue when I called last Friday but at one point said they could upgrade me for £20 a month extra. Told them to do one then saw the link on the Home Screen to upgrade remotely, then the fun and games with one of the boxes failing and needing the engineer to come and take a look.

If it was that simple everyone would cram in 10 matches at the beginning of preseason. How would they do that and how do you get the players up to speed without playing? By scheduling it if they wanted. The same way you train for a marathon. Simplifying it, you don't run 26 miles day 1 or 10 miles the first day then 10 the next. You gradually build up the workload. That's why they play 45 mins in the first preseason game, then 60, 75 / 90 etc.

Absolutely no chance we'll make the play offs with our injury record. I'm more worried about the opposite end of the table at the minute. That’s a bit silly imo How is it? I'm not saying we'll go down, I'm saying it's more likely we'll finish in the bottom half than the top.

I’d rather focus on the positive (being that we are trying to manage a situation best we can) than whinge about it. Tends to be less stressful

If the players can’t play three games in a week in August then we’re done. f*ck me. We had the same last season before we had loads of injuries. Our mindset now is to just write this competition off. We’ve done it every year we’ve been back in the league. It stinks. Do you just choose to ignore the interviews/ fans forum where he clearly explained where we were in terms of fitness/ minutes in players…? It’s not rocket science that risking players who aren’t up to full speed (which is still a lot of the first team who played on Sat) with three games in a week would increase the likelihood of further injuries. We’ve done it every season since we got back in the league, this isn’t a one-off. We just treat it as a disposable thing and we’re clearly not arsed about it.

Tends to be less stressful Fair point. But this injury situation has been going on for the best part of 2 years now. You can’t just wish it away, unfortunately. The club said last season they don’t think they’re doing anything wrong to aggravate injuries. I’m not suggesting they’re lying, but do we have much confidence that is a good assessment? I don’t, and I say that bearing in mind the club has got almost everything right in the last few years. You don’t get 7 knee injuries in pre-season by accident. You don’t get the injury lists we’ve had over the course of not even months, but years, by accident. It cannot possibly just be bad luck, unless we are the unluckiest club ever to exist (which admittedly, might be the case). But on a serious note, it is a real concern. We can disagree about how it’s managed - clearly we do - but isn’t the bigger issue how to stop it happening on a mass scale again, and again, and again?

Good job it isn't humiliating Still wouldn't say so when you know the circumstances. For the casual observer, maybe. I'm not liking a minute of it (and am not there to soften the blow) but I think it was a tough but right call and the kids involved will benefit from it.

we'll humiliate these lot in a few years time. When we're in the Championship.
