It's over, the saga of the multiple wag births has reached its conclusion and we can now get on with much less important things like football.

The third player's wife expecting a baby has finally dropped, and not before time. Ben's missus Alicia gave birth to a bouncing (very bouncing at 9lb) beautiful baby girl who they've named Dolly. That's our treble up with Emma O'Callaghan doubling our girl count with the lovely Sadie and Jula Sonko giving birth to young striker Mohammad making it 2 girls and a boy. All three were due at the same time but Dolly decided to make everybody wait until we had a midweek match. You probably realised Ben was missing on Tuesday (or maybe you didn't) but, I'm sure you'll agree, being at the birth of your first child is just a little bit more important. Congratulations to all three mums, I just hope we don't have a load of sleepy eyes in training over the next few months.

Back to more mundane matters, injuries. If you were here on Tuesday you will have seen more inches of cut than at any match I have ever been involved with. The Accrington keeper collided with Craig Curran and his knee opened up with an L shaped cut about 2 inches one way and 3 the other. It was a really nasty cut through to the bone so he'll be out for at least a couple of weeks. Then George O tried to listen to one of their lad's elbows, got too close and took a whack causing a large cut inside his ear. Normally it wouldn't have cut like it did but I think all the holes around the outside of George's ear from the 20 gypsy's earrings he normally wears didn't help. I've never seen a cut inside an ear before and it was pouring with blood so I took great delight in stuffing it with swabs and wrapping his head with a massive bandage. I could have probably got away with no bandage but I've seen loads of them on the tele and I wanted to have a go. Then just to finish things off, and as if listening to an elbow isn't stupid enough, Antony Kay decided to talk to one of their lad's elbows and, again, got too close and got a smack in the gob. The cut on the inside of his bottom lip was a couple of inches long with the blood filling his mouth. I was gutted I didn't have my camera on me as I've got an eye for the artistic and the yellow crooked teeth protruding through the deep crimson blood would have made a great close up abstract photo. When I first looked at it I thought I could do something with it. That was until I realised that the cut had gone all the way through his lip and he also had a 1cm cut on the outside. Putting my finger through the hole and wiggling it sort of confirmed that it was all the way through so he had to come off to be stitched. The good thing about these injuries is that they should both be available for today.

The one player who definitely won't be available for today is Godwin. He saw our surgeon on Tuesday and was told he should be ok in another couple of weeks so our aim is for him to train towards the end of next week and see how he is. It would nice to get rid of him before the Huddersfield match. As promised in the Accrington programme to all you gay fellas who come to our matches, I've included the picture of him taken by one of his flat mates for you to put on your toilet wall. I apologise for making all you women drool only to be disappointed that you're not his type. Never mind, I've known vegetarians who have started to eat meat again, so you never know. (That's the wrong way round isn't it?)

The only other player who is a bit dodgy for today is Mr Edds. His groin has settled well and, by the time you read this, he will have trained for a couple of days and hopefully come through and made himself available for selection.
