As he walked back to the dug-out after half time his left eye looked a right mess and had closed up.

Reminding me very much of Dane Dorahay is Sam. Great little player but his size and style leaves him open to more than his fair share of injury. Recently we've been effectively playing with a 16 man squad for all but the 1st 20 minutes of the games he's started.

Don't agree with that, Obst was pretty much bomb proof until this season. Unlike Dorahay you can clearly see what causes his injuries, don't see him a any more vulnerable than any other player. This size thing IMHO is a myth, look at Burrow, rarely injured - look at Scully - rarely fit

very, very harsh on scully!

Not really, he is a big bloke but seems to suffer the knocks more than Sam - hence size does not seem to be the main issue when avoiding injury. I'm not having a go at Scully it's a fact in his case (and yes I'm factoring in his diabetees)

Is that not fair?
