We are clearly doing something wrong on this area and we have to address it. Targett got injured with a freak groin injury that was completely unrelated to his previous one. Botman, last I heard, hasn't had any setback. They're just taking it really slow to hopefully avoid an 8-9 month operation layoff. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadow Puppets Posted December 15, 2023 Share Posted December 15, 2023 Now's probably not the right time to tell you all that Elliot Anderson won't be back until February at the earliest. His broken bone in his back isn't healing up as quickly as they'd hoped. Initial specialist assessment was 8 weeks, but it's been 7 and it's nowhere near healed. Again, that's not OUR medical department. That's specialists advising on the best course of action. We don't have a great deal of control over how quickly a bone heals.

RobS Posted December 15, 2023 Share Posted December 15, 2023 when we run out of fit players who can actually play are we allowed to just promote under21's into the squad as their under 21, and keep playing with a full team of kids? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once this injury crisis hit this was always going to be the case. It’s been a brutal season and it’s only mid December. We have to take the lessons from this though, I don’t think we can afford another instance of this. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobbydazzla Posted December 15, 2023 Share Posted December 15, 2023 (edited) looks like Targett's current one is hammy and his prior one was achilles just typical of the current luck that he recovers from long term injury, is on the bench for a bit, as soon as we need him he's immediately crocked again for a few months can see why people are asking questions about the medical team, I think that's just a natural reaction as it's hard for most people to get their heads round us consistently having 11 of the squad out injured Edited December 15, 2023 by bobbydazzla Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shearergol Posted December 15, 2023 Share Posted December 15, 2023 It's incredible really. Barnes, Botman, Pope, Willock, Isak - all absolutely vital to our team. I'd just quit if this was FM. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

St1pe Posted December 15, 2023 Share Posted December 15, 2023 What a shit signing this has turned out to be by the way. Obviously not his fault but the money we spent on him and Tonali to get zero improvement this season has been massively damaging given the increase in games.

Which makes sense as it’s one of the few areas which hasn’t seen much improvement since the takeover. This is pretty embarrassing if he’s out for 3 months pre surgery.

Nucasol Posted December 15, 2023 Share Posted December 15, 2023 Barnes, Hall and Tonali have been, through their various circumstances, not what the club needed at this critical juncture. Thank god for Tino, and at least Minteh hasn’t sullied his reputation. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ExiledGeordie Posted December 15, 2023 Share Posted December 15, 2023 (edited) People’s frustration at the volume and length of injuries seems to be influencing their overall opinion of the medical staff. We had few injuries last year, we’ve had a fuck load of games causing loading based injuries and some freak traumatic injuries. Initial injuries to players puts an increased load on other players causing further injuries. The club has spent more money on treating and preventing injury than probably any other regime previously. Shit happens, we’ve been unlucky, we’ll be ok. Theyll clearly be doing everything they can do and I have no concerns about the medical staff. Edited December 15, 2023 by ExiledGeordie Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
