Day 219

Left wing back Nicky Nicolau went from mostly useless to completely useless today. He twisted his ankle in training. He’ll be sidelined for six to eight weeks, followed no doubt by a couple of weeks training and building match practice before he’s in any condition to play a senior game. Nicolau’s some way down the pecking order at both left back and left midfield, but he was at least an option if I was in dire need to somebody not-terrible. Now he’s not.
