Checko Posted Wednesday at 18:27 Share Posted Wednesday at 18:27 (edited) From that Athletic article: "The early signs have been encouraging — just as they were in Monaco, when there was an uptick in player availability from 76 per cent before Bunce’s arrival to 90 per cent in 2021-22 — even if sample size remains small. Premier Injuries calculates the volume of injuries a team has suffered per 1,000 minutes played, or “incidence” rate. Across Howe’s three previous campaigns at Newcastle, 8.7 per 1,000 was the lowest incidence rate, while it reached 9.0 last season. In 2024-25, up to the November international break (13 matches), that had dropped to 6.0, 33 per cent down season on season. Compared to the same stage of 2023-24, it dropped 39 per cent (from 9.8). Newcastle's injury record per season: 2021-22 22 2,520 8.7 2022-23 39 4,170 9.4 2023-24 41 4,590 9.0 2024-25 7 1,170 6.0" Promising signs, though early days obviously.

I'd love it if behind the scenes Eddie makes all the staff use thick Geordie accents to help them 'get' the club. And I wouldn't necessarily put it past him either.

Yorkie Posted Wednesday at 19:16 Share Posted Wednesday at 19:16 42 minutes ago, The Butcher said: "Oi, Eddie man. Divvent play injured players. Cheers" Job done. I mean he literally has continued to play injured players so I don't think it's that simple, or even really the point. It's about prevention in the first place; not that turf toe, broken backs and shoulder dislocations are manifested by the manager. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, we’ve long had those issues.
