KEITH ANDREWS: Life in the treatment room

Injuries are as much a battle of the mind as the body

What’s that they say about being careful what you wish for? If we rewind to this time last Saturday morning, I was in a hotel in Croydon, South London, unsure as to whether our match against Crystal Palace would take place given the adverse weather conditions.

I was desperate for the game to go ahead as I felt it was a good time to play them and gain three much-needed points. But, in hindsight, I wish the game had been postponed as I now find myself facing a lengthy spell on the sidelines after tearing a muscle in my quadriceps.
