James Bunce (Performance Director)

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.

Job done.

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.

Wouldn’t using the accents of intelligent Geordies work just as well? ;-)

If we played with the same intensity as we did then it would be impressive.

Always got to find a reason to pick fault you.:razz: 

 

It's the first time in decades our injury record has improved, take the positive.

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.

True enough 🙂

 

But I have always thought our injury record was the result of our playing style 

I could be that u Der Howie, but the club injury problems go back to Bobby and even further back.
