Bernie Vince - MIA?

Nasher is the one who said vince is about to have a poor season, not me

Was more just a sarcastic comment in relation to your 'humorous' golden ticket post.

Whilst there may be some particular posters who believe any interrupted pre-season will translate to a bad year individually, I think it important to note the type of injury and which parts of training the individual is likely to miss.

Bernie had shoulder surgery which restricted him only in exercises that involved physical contact to his upper body. Sure he's probably lost some strength over the pre-season, but the most important thing to note was that he wasn't restricted in his running up until he got this hammy issue.

I'm confident that he has enough miles in the legs and aerobic conditioning to make it back for round 1 and perform well as long as there are no further hammy hiccups from here.

Iin short, he won't be getting a golden ticket.

Perhaps a concession card.

Bernie's game doesn't rely on extreme fitness and I don't think he is one of our best trainers anyway. He's an old-school footballer and I think his output won't be reduced too much.
