Plonk Posted November 17, 2020 Share Posted November 17, 2020 Interesting comments fromTP that these are unnecessary and avoidable. So why do we get some many? Who was he pointing the finger at, and what can be done to avoid it? Im not a doctor or a physio so genuinely curious as to what he was saying. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
areNOTwhatTHEYseem Posted November 17, 2020 Share Posted November 17, 2020 He wants to be careful who he starts pointing the finger at. It could cause a nasty injury, that. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sMacLean Posted November 17, 2020 Share Posted November 17, 2020 Can only be two things. Players that are crocks who shouldn't have been signed (Izzy Brown) or the sports science team is not preparing them properly. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He also said that we maybe have to look after the players better in the current period of several matches in a condensed period of time. Perhaps he's hinting that we could be asking them to do too much in terms of fitness training. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluesteel Posted November 17, 2020 Share Posted November 17, 2020 I would imagine having Flint play 3 games in close succession after not playing since January is one of those things 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he's still moored just outside the 18 yard box ... 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matthefish2002 Posted November 17, 2020 Share Posted November 17, 2020 Always hear this type of thing from every manager but we seem to have had an injury crisis that has lasted 25 years. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daveyboy66 Posted November 17, 2020 Share Posted November 17, 2020 Even the pampered Premier league players are going down like flies...most haven't had a proper pre-season and with the games coming up every three days for the next 7 weeks we'll get some more injuries 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CircleSeven Posted November 17, 2020 Share Posted November 17, 2020 I have never even heard of another club with constant rolling injury cris like we have. This season is a nightmare anyway for players but we have had the problems for so long now I expect I injuries and every time I see someone leave the pitch with a ‘niggle’ I am expecting month long layoffs. Luongo is the latest one. He was virtually never injured before. Comes here and the bloke is hardly ever on the pitch! A knock on the knee takes a month to heal! My view is the curse is probably real. My dad has a story that at some point in the past some club or other had a witch doctor come to the ground to lift a curse put on by a gypsy. I assumed it was B/S but maybe it’s time to get an exorcism booked in? (Got to be more effective than Barry Fry slashing on the pitch?!). I always blamed the Sheffield hills. If you not used to them they can be a killer! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blatter Posted November 17, 2020 Share Posted November 17, 2020 I always prefer the soft tissue. Don’t see how it could cause injury. Far more soothing than the old shiny Izal. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mick70 Posted November 17, 2020 Share Posted November 17, 2020 Wonder if it could be the pitches at the training ground? We’ve had different managers. Different training methods, different coaches , different methods and finally different players? The only one constant is the pitches? Just a thought 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always wondered how Saunders' Aston Villa won the League with just 14 players in 1980/81 season. Game was tougher then, arguably. Seems we have much to learn.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's because they had no option but to play them so would use to get playing with minor injuries etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
