Mus Posted February 7, 2018 Share Posted February 7, 2018 15 minutes ago, SallyCinnamon said: The truth is a lot of these players are injury prone anyway. There injury problems aren't exclusive to this season. Difference is this time around it's all come at once. Think about it. Lees- missed a large chunk of the first season under CC when he got injured against Stoke in the cup. Lee- Missed large chunk of last season. The only season with us where he has been fully fit is CC's first season in charge. I remember when we first signed him under DJ didn't he get injured on arrival? Hooper- Took ages to get match fit when he first joined and again missed most of last season with injury. Hutch- Always injured, that first season under CC he did well to play the amount of games he did. But he had to retire due to injury, not surprised he's been breaking down a lot the past two years. Westwood- For a goalkeeper injured too much. Has always missed the odd game with injury throughout his time here. Fletcher- Injury prone all his career. Abdi- Bad injury kept him out of Watford's side for almost a season a few years back. Only anomalye's are really Bannan and FF who seem to have picked up the first real injury problems of their career this season at Wednesday. Thanks for that summary, and looking at it makes me wonder why we buy so many injury prone players? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quist Posted February 7, 2018 Share Posted February 7, 2018 14 minutes ago, Mr Hooper said: Gary Hooper - Hip problem, started of as something minimal, then all of a sudden he was out for months. Posted a picture of his new boots at the weekend with football socks on, so maybe he's training again? Understand similar to Keiran Lee problem so maybe end of season Fessi - Knee op, was supposed to be back in January, then we got told it would be a few months after this, training in Spain, but since Jos has taken over the videos of training have stopped. Was always going to to be 6 -8 months for knee ligament operation. could be backin April if things go well. Fletcher - Never heard any updates on him, does Joe even know he's on our books? who knows. Apparently tonsilitis turned into knee injury Hirst - Snake Needs to swallow a bit of pride and go and see Jos could easily get a game. Bannan - Back running and training. Broke down in training back with medical team Tom Lees - Back running. Slight problem may be back running this week. Kieran Lee - No idea, last thing I heard were the Twitter retirement rumours, don't believe them though. Had operation same as last year was rushed last year which created problem, had operation earlier than last season so may be around for last 4/5 games. Abdi - Probably best not to speak about him, the only good thing is, we get regular updates on what his current injury is. But the guy isn't ever going to play for us is he? Needs rmedical retirement and us claimimng insurnace money. Hutchinson - Again, hardly any updates on him, is it his hip as well? - Who knows....we miss him three to 4 weeks Westwood - Again, was this also a Hip injury? I remember seeing a Tweet saying he was around 2 months away. had setback last week back with medical team Van Aken - No idea what's happening, a young player with no injury record, comes to s6 and all of a sudden he's out for months... About 3 weeks away from a return. will apparently be due to start training next week. Anyone else? Reading this list i am not feeling too good. I have added in what I have heard.

What we need the press/radio to ask is a 'once and for all - what's going on with all these injuries and what's behind it?' Thing is though I reckon they already know but maybe have been asked not to say anything or highlight it? Owlstalk Shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OwlofOliveGrove Posted February 7, 2018 Share Posted February 7, 2018 So, in essence....we still know nothing for definite. An individual player update for the fans wouldn't go amiss surely. Not as if we can blame Jos for the state we're in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lionel Fessi Posted February 7, 2018 Share Posted February 7, 2018 Bannan & Lees will hopefully be back in 3/4 weeks. Hooper & Forestieri another 7/8 weeks. Other than that the rest are long term injured or worse as we've been given no information at all on the situation of Fletcher for example.

Peake Posted February 7, 2018 Share Posted February 7, 2018 Fletcher and Hutch are bizarre. I wonder if Hutch is suffering with depression again and possibly Fletcher something similar and that's why there is no news? Hopefully we'll have Lees, Bannan and Van Aken back by the end of the month. If we're sticking with a back 3 then even having one of Lees or Van Aken back will make a huge difference.

NeonLeon Posted February 7, 2018 Share Posted February 7, 2018 The Fletcher situation is absolutely bizarre. He plays all Pre Season, is ever present in the 18s all the way into November. Then suddenly decides he’s been carrying a knock all that time and he can’t play anymore. Since then, nothing. No reports of what’s up or when he might be back.
