I have just watched the entire first half of last nights game (definitely not a classic), and after about 30 mins our skipper can clearly been seen holding his left groin area and stretching it. At various times during the next 10 mins you can see it/he is not right. Thinking back to the Boro game I can recall an occasion during the second half where he stretches with his left leg to win a tackle and appeared in a bit of discomfort in the immediate aftermath so this has to be as a result of that. I guess he was a big doubt last night but given the issues we had in the full back area's of the pitch he declared himself fit to play. Hope we don't come to rue that decision in the long run.
