McRightSide Posted January 2, 2021 Share Posted January 2, 2021 19 minutes ago, Lawrie’s Left Peg said: But bear in mind each club submits a squad of 25 players. Can add as many home grown players from the academy as they wish. Therefore, nominally if player well-being and duty of care really was the primary concern you could have 3 completely different teams of 11 and rotate them. The issue really is the pressure to get results and financial consequences of failure not the schedule. I’m aware of that, but what you say is an absolute crock of poo . If clubs across the board are having to sacrifice quality of matchday teams due to injuries caused by the amount of games vs time the issue is the schedule, not the desire to win. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why assume they have to sacrifice quality of match day teams ? There would be less injuries to the better players if there was more rotation.based on your own logic.

So replacing hundreds of millions of pounds worth of talent in the matchday squad doesn’t weaken it? And yes exactly my point - more rotation = lesser injuries but also = lesser quality Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we are still out of the relegation places by the end of today I suggest they cancel the rest of the season and use the final placings to decide relegation and promotion. I know it means we won't have any hope of promotion this year but we must be brave and accept that to protect the health of the players who are under too much stain. It seems like the only reasonable thing to do. Edited January 2, 2021 by prowl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He found out that it was training and playing matches that were causing the injuries. He decided we would stop training and exerting ourselves during games.

The schedule is clearly requiring clubs to go above and beyond what’s reasonable. The solution cant be to degrade the competition by requiring weaker sides to be put out. Honestly, there’s a player welfare aspect. And I could even see a potential lawsuit if a major elite player suffers a serious injury 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Django Posted January 2, 2021 Share Posted January 2, 2021 A bad hamstring will be the least of his worries when he hears Paul Cook’s getting the job 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hirstys_achilles Posted January 2, 2021 Share Posted January 2, 2021 (edited) Hamstring is normally only a tear or partial tear from not warming up properly. As windass was 30 minutes into the game it must only be a slight pull due to fatigue. Having done a hamstring myself. If it's torn you can't walk unassisted off the pitch. People nearby actually heard mine snap. Awful feeling. Sure a couple of weeks rest he should be close to being OK for the Coventry game. Provided he can do some cardio to keep himself fit without aggravating it. Can't see windass going anywhere. We need more forwards not selling any. Let's face it. Only Wednesday buy injured players anyway. Edited January 2, 2021 by hirstys_achilles Spell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holmowl Posted January 3, 2021 Share Posted January 3, 2021 It seems I rate Windass a lot less than most of our fans. I will be surprised and disappointed if Windass is a regular starter up front after this transfer window. Poor finisher, poor passer and way too greedy.
