Ozoh out for the season

I agree with all of that Terry but with special emphasis on the injuries. If Leeds had had the equivalent number they would be mid-table, not at the top. I firmly believe that without them (or some of them at least) we would be in a comfortable mid-table position. Yes, we would have been bored at times but the object of survival would have been achieved relatively easily. It will take a minor miracle to survive now but if we don't I will certainly not be blaming JE. I don't know whether Pearce should be the whipping boy. It is I know the done thing now to join in the blame game. Someone always has to be at fault without any mitigation (largely inspired by social media). Re Pearce he may, for all we know, have constantly been on at MM telling him to calm down with his recklessness and not try to bend the accounting rules. We just don't know and never will and must leave it to DC to decide where we may have gone wrong (if we indeed have done so) apart from injuries.

Clarke touch and go for the weekend which is perhaps better than expected

What about Phillips?

Yeah, I just dont see us being able to turn it around with the players we have at our disposal. I dont see anyone being paticularly to blame. When more than half the team is out, like you said Chicago any team would struggle. Supporters are always looking for people to blame. First it was Warney...now its Pearce. Personally i think its Uncle Tom's fault...notice how he's not been on here for ages....see...ITS HIM....obvious guilt 😝
Anyway i think we have to go with what weve got. Not sure about players from U21s/U18s...its a massive step into League football. Cheers.. Terry. UTR 🐏🐏🐏🐏
Anyway,

"Matt came off last week at an important time and will be touch and go for the weekend although it's not as bad as we initially thought so we'll wait and see," Eustace told BBC Radio Derby.

On-loan Liverpool defender Nat Phillips has also trained in the last couple of days and will be assessed ahead of the trip to Boro to determine whether he can play a part.

"Nat has been training in the last couple of days. Whether it is too early for him at the weekend, we will have to wait and see on that. It's great to have him back in the group."
