I dont know if its Brady not wanting to give the opposition any insight at all or if hes trying not to put pressure on those injured players to return.
Either way I dont see how giving people an update on the long term absentees like Koiki, Magloire etc harms anyone. These are players that have not played in huge periods of time, its not like they are going to start, or play for more than a few minutes. Does it really impact anyone to know on their progress? I do find that a little frustrating as im really interested in how they are getting on.
If I was Brady - would be very careful about on Player availability this Saturday. Tell the media nothing.

I know an able bodied guy from Gibraltar who will be joining for it.
Taxi too and from booked. Charters on arrival. A decent boozer even if it is in Peterborough.
Obviously a well funded gentleman fan! They do exist I have seen at away games quietly assuming a nonchalant air.

Insider had a different view than the "keyboard warriors" on here, so he stopped posting. He might well have done. He used to travel on the coach so i got to know him. From what I can remember he suffered from some unfound criticism on here around 2015. He also delivered a fine rallying speech at the memorable Town Hall Meeting. I liked him, for me a decent fan and person too.

Not knocking our medical support team and facilities but I'd imagine the Saints have a good set up. I was joking about the NHS, I'm sure we use private treatment. It's a vicious cycle whilst we sign the likes of Hylton and (hopefully not) Moore but then again it doesn't seem to matter what age or record you have, we can injure you!
Am not quite sure where this criticism of players is going. Can only assume people realise that most clubs have issues for example Bristol Rovers and Oxford are in similar circumstances to us let alone Orient!

I'd 100% keep Appere. I know he isn't prolific, but he's young, works hard, and has a decent pass in him. Reminds me of Hoskins in that the workrate and application are there, and there's a hint of same talent in him, but the composure isn't quite there yet. He's not as important to the team as Bowie and Leonard and about the same as Simpson, but all three of those are leaving.
We can’t do anything about loan players realistically.

Gape had been training with us for 2 weeks before signing and Moore for over a month yet we had no idea. What happened to our training ground spotter?
Insider was the man, drummed out by a few on here. Thought he was a good source but suffered from some unjustified harsh criticism and resigned about 3 years ago. Remember chatting to him and he appeared a decent enough supporter.

I'm not saying Brough is brilliant but amonthe at left back would be worse
Have yet to see Monte let us down and at the same time have yet to see Brough make a tackle on his winger! Apologies if I missed one!

Christ.
Playing a keeper with a pulled hamstring, four centre backs, one of which hasn’t started a game in about 9 years and a slow centre forward on the right wing.
Are you saying Appere is on the slow side? Please nominate your side based on what you know!

What is this agenda you so often allude to? Spit it out man, what are they trying to achieve?
It could be a grievance against club and/or Manager. Or some obscure comments made in a repetitive manner. You have for example a theme on proving your theory on Hoskins is correct. You do realize that some commentators on here have challenged your opinions? But Due to restrictions am unable to discuss further!

Well, that and also first game of the season at Bristol Rovers five seasons or so ago, beating them! Wasn't it Jon Joe who scored? Good day out before and after the game in a hot Bristol!
Can recall vividly the boos and jeers when the team lined up. Every touch he made was booed and ridiculed. Then he had the temerity to score the deft header which won the game. Can recat vividly the shock and horror reaction at tbat goal! Really made my day!

As a reminder...
Interesting injury summary Deepo - I assume some of the comments made by a few on here seem to exaggerate the situation to apportion blame or to suit an obscure personal agenda.

In the spirit of previous posts "close this thread!" We ain't going down, we ain't going to be in a relegation scrap. FACT Super Sammy will rise like Lazarus and see us comfortably retain our L1 status. Failing that Super Simmo is about to embark on a golden scoring spree and our defence is about to stop fannying about. Some people just like to lose their nerve on a consistent basis. Good point made in the last sentence.
