I can accept myself and others are putting 2 and 2 together and getting 74. I can accept the club have acted on specialist and 3rd party advice (although I’m sure it was reported at the time there were some advising on the op, some not). 
 

What I can’t accept is that someone who missed 3-4 months with an ACL problem. Who returned and looked physically miles off it (sorry, Shadow Puppets :lol:) and is now having an ACL operation. Has suffered a fresh, unrelated injury in the same knee. 
 

There is no way they are not related. 


I think it’s absolutely possible that they’re related injuries…of course it is. What I’m saying is, factually, the club have been working on the advice of 3rd party specialists and Sven and the club had felt very confident that surgery wasn’t required based on the specialists advice.

 

Whoever you choose to blame out of all of that is up to you.

Not to labour the point, but is it not just that we got terrible luck with absentees (injuries carrying over from last season, a gambling ban, two fractured backs, a broken foot, two shoulder dislocations, etc), then picked up subsequent soft tissue injuries due to players being ran into the ground or returned from injury too quickly to cope with the intensity of the fixture pile up?

Yes… pretty much all of that is correct. The only thing I don’t agree with is that I think, right now, there’s no need to be playing Longstaff when Miley is (presumably) fit on the bench.

More consequences of financial fair play, we've essentially fucked a number of our players long-term due to not being able to strengthen our squad. The whole thing is a joke.

I'm inclined to believe there's a lot of truth in this, the lack of being able to adequately rotate the squad is a strong possibility - too much, too soon, with not enough quality depth.

i just want to know who the hell @Shadow Puppets really is???? [emoji38]

Murphy, the physio that got sacked?

Serena the club photographer?

Paul Dummett????

 

and where has your ITK been when we've needed it???? :dave:

Shola Ameobi obviously!

 

Shadow- because of his race (not being racist).

 

Puppets - he loans players out. Pulling the strings of all those Puppets, I mean young players.

Really gutted for him. However poor he's been in recent weeks, he's a very talented player who started this season incredibly well after a fantastic debut campaign.

 

2 major injuries in the same season must be mentally really hard to take. I hope he comes back even better.
