22/23 Injuries Thread

Remember, it's just bad luck and there's nothing we can do about it. Stop moaning.

WTF is going on at the KP? Players getting injured in the opening of almost every game. we're gonna have no one left soon. Booba grasping his Hammy. Our physiological dept needs a blocking!

[cruzFOX]

did someone run over a black cat outside the KP? absolutely madness!

[Sandwhale]

Already seen fingers pointed at Rogers for the injuries, as though he's a puppet master pulling the strings of everyone in the club. As though the medical dept in particular, but also the player themselves aren't responsible for their wellbeing. 

[Sandwhale]

Shocking though, club management must be livid. There's a point where it goes past just bad luck and becomes incompetence. 

 

Feels like the club is stocked with idiots who bumble through clueless about what they're doing

[Lambert09]

is braybrooke injured? 

[cruzFOX]

Totally agree. If I were Top I'd be holding an all all hands meeting after this game and start asking for some serious answers as why these injuries keep occurring. Its too frequent to be bad luck. 

[fazzyfox]

Were those behind closed door friendlies not played intensely enough to prepare for the return to competitive action? Have we changed our pre-match warm up? Is the Christmas schedule of matches close together not ideal for the return to action? Are the pitches reacting to not being played on much recently (getting desperate there). Can Batman save our remaining heroes from the clutches of the fiddler of fitness levels??? Find out (or not) next time!

3 muscular injuries to players that didnt go to the WC and had 6 weeks alone with Rodgers. 
 

Its definitely his methods. 

[Corky]

Absolute ****ing shambles and nothing is being done to rectify it. Our season and these lads' careers are being hit by this.

 

Totally unacceptable but, as usual, it is glossed over by those in charge.

Phrasing of "six weeks alone with Rogers" ... Just brings images of Rogers locked in a room with each of the players for the six weeks roleplaying as a physio whipping out the deep heat and his notebook. 

 

Well, thats my nightmares sorted for tonight, thanks.

He also doesn't rotate the squad, just plays the same players until they get injured.

[Sandwhale]

Said it before though, feels harsh to place this all on Rogers shoulders. I get that he's an easy visible target, but surely more responsibility should be put on the player and the medical team. 

 

On knows first hand how they're doing physically and the other has training to know the limits of a body. 

 

Rogers choosing a player to start doesn't mean they should snap like a twiglet in the first 5 mins

This isn't hard luck. He blatantly runs them to death in training. Ndidi next one if there was a bet on.

Spot on. Been saying this since the first champions league bottle.

3 games in after a 6 week mid season break for the vast majority of them. They don’t need rotating.

 

They need a manager who’s methods don’t break them. 

[Nod.E]

I'm not saying we totally neglect sports science, but the idea of us not fully utilising it and squeezing all available value from it would seamlessly fit with the narrative that we are not thorough (set piece problem allowed to go on for far too long, lack of planning routines such as throw ins, etc etc.)

 

The whole club needs a slap in the face to wake the fvck up and get its ducks in a row. I only hope it doesn't require relegation to get there.

It's much more than just choosing which players play on match day.

We've been back playing competitive (allegedly) football for a week and have lost three players to injury, one in the warm up and two within 15 minutes of the start.

I dont think there's very munch conditioning going on

 

Our players can't play with any intensity for longer than 20-30 minites

True, but I still maintain that the physio and player have more involvement than Rogers. 

 

Rogers isn't a medical expert and so he's relying on others for that knowledge. If he's disregarding the advice he's being given by the medical team then there will be internal evidence of Rogers disregarding those memos/emails, which would lead to Rogers being held to account by the club management and more oversight/power given to the medical team in order to keep the players from getting crocked. 

 

If Rogers is disregarding advice from the medical team and there are no consequences from management then I'd say the fault lies with the management team for not doing their job. 

 

To me, the more likely scenario is that the player or medical team are idiots about fitness.

Fact is we don't know.

 

Ultimately the manager of the football club is responsible for the team around him.

 

One of the reasons for Pearson's success with us was his investment in his sports science team. 

 

I'm not saying bring Pearson back, but what I am saying is that a successful club works seamlessly behind the scenes.

 

Clearly, that isn't the case and hasn't been for a long time.

Come on guys we have played so much football this season, this isn't fair. It's just bad luck.
