Why should Fielden get a place in the play off team when Lima, Prescott, Flower, Mossop, Crosby and even Dudson have had more game time than Fielden this year????

To be fair BBB, an injury such as you describe could happen to anyone, and would not be dependant on age..

In the salary cap era can you even have those types of contract? I dont really see how they could work without severely holding back cap space in case Fielden plays a full season.

Wasn't price on something like that?

fair enough but it's gonna take a 33 year old longer to come back from injury and gain sufficiant match fitness compared to a 28 year old imo

Best deal for him and us is if he gets an injury that keeps him out for a length of time eg 2 months he retires. Can not see him going for that especially with some clubs that will pay him a fat cheque for 1 years contract. If he shows some decent form over the play offs we should attempt to keep him.
