His lack of physicality is always going to be a problem in finals. We may as well deal with it nowIt is simple really . Parish is an elite clearance player but you either have to have protection for him as he is never going to bash and crash all day and get a lot of footy out or you need a change up guy so the opposition do not just sit on Parish at the CB or stoppage.
No need to rush him, we have depth other mids just need to step up and get it done.Still three weeks away.
Well, at the moment we are using an underperforming Perkins in there and run the risk of over-using Stringer. Having the luxury of using those two in short bursts, as required, sounds far more appealing to me. So while I agree we should take our time with Parish I’d also argue that we don’t have the depth and we are suffering in our team balance because of it. We need him back because our depth is being shown up as being superficial depth.No need to rush him, we have depth other mids just need to step up and get it done.

I think he might have to play some reserves before he comes back although I could see him playing the forward/ mid role that Archie is playing as he has done it in the past.as per the thread title, he'll be back in 2 weeks. likely comes straight back in
(allegedly, this is from someone at the club)
Aren't the dads supposed to make those jokes?Grace with the pun too, kudos to the new mum.
Turns out it wasn’t tightness, it was awareness which is much more seriousWould have to be the longest layoff for calf tightness in history!
Can't believe Doctors published the kid's weight. Already too much pressure on the kid.
So a baby "bender"?oh so "injured" is code for not only drug use, but also things like becoming parents. interesting.
I do wonder if they would request some time off.oh so "injured" is code for not only drug use, but also things like becoming parents. interesting.
