No doubt the stataticians amongst us can answer the question, but the latest (sad) news of injuries don't half make it seem like there have been a lot of players in and out this season ....... perhaps not out as in "sold" but more like "missing" during significant parts of the season ......:unsure:

Morris - 2nd injury this season - unusual I would say
Johnson - dismissed
Kalala - out injured for rest of season
Dickinson - out injured for rest of season
Leonard - have I missed something - is he injured?
Sawyer - fit, injured, fit, injured and now fit again
Asante - out on loan?
Crawford - out on loan or injured?
Corr - injured
Paterson - best left unsaid
Sturrock - injured and then hardly seen all season

I suspect there are others I have missed - but all this "turmoil" must be a factor in our overall performance this season. What happened to the days of playing a season with only 12 or 13 players ...........:smile:

Two of those players (Crawford/Asante) were never 1st team players. Paterson hasnt been a Southend player in anything but contract for years. Corr was never going to feature much this season

If this is evidence of turmoil thats affected our performance then every team should experience the same, all team have injuries and our squad is bigger than most so we should be affected less..

Yes ......... and no :blush: Agree that it was very unlikely that Paterson was ever going to feature for us again ..... but one scenario could have been that Crawford and/or Asante had been developed further this year with some first team appearances ........ and then, I think, originally Corr was due to be back around Christmas.

Anyway, the top 6 on the list are potential "regular first XI players" ...... and Corr was our leading scorer. Put that together and I think there has been more injuries and change than I remember in past promotion seeking teams.

Still, Saturday should be interesting to see who plays and how they play. Boring it isn't .........:stunned:
