Spot on Ad@m. I bet a few Bradford fans got a nasty surprise when they suddenly discovered that we're not as depleted in the striking department at they first hoped.

The OS is the worst website I've seen from an entity with the sort of turnover they have. We could easily have an injury update page that continually updates the status of injured players. Even in Plumbutt Cooper's example, such a page could easily tell us just that - that they're waiting for the swelling to settle down before doing an MRI.

Point me to the same injury update pages on all the other teams OS's.

If information like this is freely available, I don't know why we can't show it. It doesn't need to be detailed and I'm not suggesting that we give opposition any help.

Because it's all guesswork, maybe?

Spot on Ad@m. I bet a few Bradford fans got a nasty surprise when they suddenly discovered that we're not as depleted in the striking department at they first hoped.

But PL said at his news conference on friday that Bent, Gabby and Zog had trained that morning and he would see how they felt before naming the team on Saturday, so that told the world they were in with a very good chance of playing.  The only one who was a surprise to me was Baker as he hadn't been mentioned anywhere.

Bit late for them to do any training based on stifling those players then though.

Well on the basis that just says we have injuries and they don't know when they're back I'd question the point of putting that 'info' on any website at all.

We never got any prognosis on Vlaar at all, could be wrong but try and find some PL quotes after Arsenal/Reading estimating how long he'd be out for.

Fergie usually comes out and says how long players will be out for e.g. saying Rooney will be out for two weeks. That might be playing mind games with Liverpool but at least you know the rough extent of his injury.

With Vlaar, not a clue!

Westwood is available again according to Tim Abraham: 

‏@TimothyAbraham In terms of rest of the walking wounded.... Brett Holman is back after illness while Ashley Westwood has recovered from an ankle injury

I think both should start tomorrow then.  Try and get back as close to the side that played at Anfield as possible.

Vlaar is training and may play tomorrow, but more likely next week.

There's a good article on the OS with an update on the injured players. It sounds like Vlaar might be on the bench tomorrow and Westwood isn't far off returning. They're even expecting Dunne to start training again next week.

I really don't understand why a public website should let opponents know about whether a player is fit or not. Surely that should be confidential. All of these teams plan their training around the opposition and its players. The last thing I would want as a club is let my opponent know for sure who is playing or who is fit. As much as possible I would want to keep that under wraps even if fans want to know.

On the subject of Westwood, it says in the Mail today that he was cup tied anyway for Bradford - how is that the case, did he play for Crewe in the first round?
