Dang I've been missing these updates. Record's looking nice, but sucks that the injury bug has made it's way back around this season. Looks like you're most recent game was a long one getting shut out against Alcantara

Tough schedule ahead. Hopefully you can pull out most of those.

Thanks. I gave you time to catch up now. Yeah I feel like I've had worse injuries this year than I did last year. It was really only that one to Nootbaar last year.
