Decimated by injuries

Sky's write up of McGoogle's injury says our squad has been "decimated by injuries of late". Does that seem a bit strong?

Anyway, we can now use this as well as the excuse of "we're gelling" when talking to Derby and Notts fans?

"
Nottingham Forest's injury woes show no sign of abating, with Lewis McGugan the latest to be struck down.

The highly-rated midfielder fractured his cheekbone in Tuesday's 4-2 defeat against Watford and is expected to be sidelined for up to six weeks.

The 20-year-old will require surgery in an effort to fix the problem, and will go under the knife once the swelling on his face subsides.

Once given the all-clear to resume playing duties, he will be forced to wear a protective mask for a further two months.

McGuan, who was making his first start of the season in midweek, picked up the injury in an aerial challenge with Hornets keeper Scott Roach.

His absence will now add to the selection dilemma already facing Reds boss Billy Davies, with the Scot having seen his squad decimated by injuries of late.

Well...To decimate is to lose one in every ten.

5 out - do we have a squad of 50?

yeah, not sure whether we need midfield reinforcements now ASWELL as defensive?! With it looking like Lewis is now out for some time, anything up to 12 weeks with the injury plus rehabilitation. (sigh). feel really sorry for him, especially as he had got himself really in shape for this season. terrible luck. Moussi out too, although only supposedly about 4 weeks with him. Centrally that leaves us with McKenna, Majewski and Cohen. And what about McCleary?? Is he injured aswell? not in squad for watford game. i really rate him, and think he could have a part to play this season, i hope billy feels same way :mellow:

Out with an ankle injury. Said to be minor, possibly in contention for the QPR game.

the only positive out of last night is that McGugan will get to wear a Gazza style mask!
