frankpingel Posted March 29 Share Posted March 29 Don't think people are saying we should have physically forced the op but simply have done everything (more) to convince him it was the best and only long term solution. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteV Posted March 29 Share Posted March 29 Tbf, Eddie says there was “conflicting opinion”, so obviously at least one of the specialists was saying he’d be alright without surgery. So it’s not like it’s been clear he needed an op and we’ve just let him ignore it and say ‘nah, fuck it, I’ll be fine’. Always easier with hindsight now as well.

To me "enforced" isn't a particularly ambiguous word but OK, if that's not what he meant then fair enough. Having said that, its also shakey medical ground convincing a patient to have a procedure rather than giving them all the necessary information to make their own choice.

Aiston Posted March 29 Share Posted March 29 Well a complete fuck up of our own making then. Quote Ultimately, medical team advised him to get surgery, but he wanted to carry on. He has then aggravated that issue. Letting players overrule the medical team...the fuck. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zero Posted March 29 Share Posted March 29 No fucking way we don’t go that route if the medical team final advice is “surgery” and instead we keep on playing him 90 mins every game. jesus Christ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially the second journalists further questioning, Eddie Howe does suggest Botman trusted his own judgement/body over what the manager/team wanted.

TheHoob Posted March 29 Share Posted March 29 Had him playing at 75% all season then this, worst of both worlds. Hopefully getting surgery helps sort him a bit mentally and stop him playing within himself. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cf Posted March 29 Share Posted March 29 Doesn't sound like a huge deal to me. Sounds like it was somewhat 50/50 whether the surgery was required, medical team erred on the side of caution to get it done, and Botman presented with the options decided he wanted to proceed without. He knows his own body and I'm sure there'll have been scans etc as time went on. Just yet another injury related issue that's fallen the wrong way for us.

Cf Posted March 29 Share Posted March 29 Howe's comments though are a little more fanning the flames than we've come to expect. "There was conflicting advice from specialists as to whether surgery was required or not. Between the player and our medical team we decided to proceed without and monitor the situation as time went on. In hindsight surgery might have been the better choice but it wasn't a clear cut decision". Done. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
