markg Posted February 18, 2022 Share Posted February 18, 2022 How many players have we signed that we aren’t injury prone or aren’t short of match fitness due to not having played for ages before they joined us ? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(most of them had only a few games though) IIRC Johnson has had a couple of injuries this season? He definitely had a hamstring injury in November and was out for a couple of weeks and I'm thinking earlier in the season too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly. Main negative of free transfers/loan signings, they won't have been playing regular football and possibly haven't had much of a pre-season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

airborne_rat_of_s6 Posted February 18, 2022 Share Posted February 18, 2022 Interesting to see how many opposition players get injured by the cursed pitch, compared to ours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mick70 Posted February 18, 2022 Share Posted February 18, 2022 If it’s anything to do with pitches I’d say it’s the training ground ? They play on those surfaces regularly not just two or three times a month? Players train harder than yrs ago at high levels but does seem strange that it’s always us ? And has been for yrs ? Different managers ,different training regimes, different players , different coaches same results!! Or is it our medical team ain’t up to picking the bad ones out ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OwlsfaninNorway Posted February 18, 2022 Share Posted February 18, 2022 If the players say it then surely it's worth looking in to. Could be an investment to save injuries. Could be smart both economically and result wise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ellis Rimmer Posted February 18, 2022 Share Posted February 18, 2022 do players in Africa get injured all the time due to their famous hard pitches? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owl in Nottingham Posted February 18, 2022 Share Posted February 18, 2022 If the pitch is so hard may be they should try softer insoles in their boots. Worth a try init. Cheaper than a new pitch so then we have a bit of cash left to by some replacement players for when we get injuries. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lawrie’s Left Peg Posted February 18, 2022 Share Posted February 18, 2022 DC: Deso Pitch? £Million. Screw that. Get travellers in to Tarmac when no one looking. Get Polish painter & decorator paint it green. Tell customers I’ve bought them new pitch so no worry about refunds. No one will ever know. Bingo. Atty: Great plan. But wait….. what if it rains? Won’t the paint wash away? DC: Oh my poor deluded son. You have so much to learn. Bung the ref a grand to call it off due to “water log pitch”. Get Pole back in to touch up paintwork. Winner winner tuna dinner. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CircleSeven Posted February 18, 2022 Share Posted February 18, 2022 Of the available explanations for the ongoing injury issues: -we sign intrinsically injury prone players -there is some underlying physical reason in the training/ playing surface that injures our players -it’s just bad luck -it’s a fûcking curse!!! Surely any rational observer would chose option 4? It’s obviously a curse! I was hoping Topsy’s intervention might end it but apparently not… 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack of Clubs Posted February 18, 2022 Share Posted February 18, 2022 Guess you can only base this on how many injuries the visiting teams get on the same pitch. If over the season this number is high then you could use it as a reason. If not then it’s probably something else. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
