Speaking in the Bournemouth Evening Echo, Tindall is quoted as saying: "It's not an ideal situation and I think everybody knows I'm not here to play games but we didn't have much choice. But with the situation we're in and the injury list we've got, unfortunately, I may have to play whether I like it or not. It's very difficult and you've only got to look at the players who weren't available. Not only are we fighting our own injury crisis but we're fighting the Football League and an ongoing transfer embargo. In my opinion, it's unfair. But it's the hand we have been dealt and we're doing our best to overcome the problems. We're trying to jump the hurdles and to land safely the other side. We've got people playing regularly who are only 50, 60 or 70 per cent fit. People look at it and think we've got 11 players on the pitch but some of them don't train from week to week. We just have to patch them up and put them on the pitch because of the situation we find ourselves in. The Football League has made it clear they won't allow us to bring in any players. We don't hold that against them, they make the rules and we've got to abide by them. But those rules are not only punishing us as a football club and, potentially, could be damaging the players' careers. If you keep patching them up and forcing them to play through injuries, there has got to be a risk of long-term injury. It's unfortunate but we've got no choice at the moment".
