Injuries at the club.

Rodgers himself said Castagne pulled himself from the game and Barnes I find it more likely, given how he's managed the likes of Evans, JJ and Vardy that Barnes made the call

Ultimately decisions lie with the manager, no? 

 

Which does work both ways but if he has had some part in listening to the player for an injury concern and decided not to risk him, is that not a good thing?

if a player says he's injured you cannot force them to play so no it doesn't, usually its a player that's injured saying they are fine to play given Rodgers track record I cannot give him that benefit of doubt 

[Walshy5]

When Rodgers says a few days we now know to take that as a few weeks!

Reading an article about the NFL earlier and 54 players did there ACL in the season. so that's about 1 in 32 the number is ridiculously high. 

 

A lot of players are blaming it on the mixture between astro and grass - which is very similar to what we have at the new training ground + what a lot of the prem grounds (including us) have. 

 

does make you wonder if its the surface we are training on isnt helping towards the injuries we are getting in training. Hamstrings especially, 

 

It sounds like an excuse but you dont see the amount of muscular injuries / ligament injuries at any other clubs.

Really interesting point you raise and could be partially the reason why we seem to be way above and beyond any other Prem team with muscle related injuries.

Regardless of whether Rodgers stays or goes, a top priority for the top brass has to be a root and branch review of the medical side of the club, it's been a disaster since midway last season. I'd rather we sorted this then spend big in the transfer market because until this is fixed, we'll keep having the same issues. Doesn't matter who replaces Brendan if he does go, if the new guy has this many injuries to deal with next season then he's going to struggle.

 

Mental that this was a real strength of the club not that long ago.

Interesting point, the injuries have been more frequent and relentless since we moved to Seagrave than before, even though there we strong signs of warning prior to that.

We have way too many injuries at the club, with Barnes the latest feeling tightness in his thigh. It must be more than just injuries from being tackled or playing too much. It may have something to do with intensity of training? With Brendan pushing players to compete with each other in training, maybe they were doing way too much? It is not just about rest in between and maybe intensity? Something is wrong. 

 

These are professionals who cost the club millions and millions of pounds. We can’t afford to lose them like we have, plus their value decrease significantly. I rather that they just do light training and only play intensely during actual games.

He should give them the season off, just turn up for games and do their own fitness work. They wouldn't have to listen to his bull shit on a daily basis either and react better in games autonomously.

Perhaps that would be better

So if we take out those 2 most picked back lines, we have had 24 different combinations in 28 games.

Are we sure that pitches at belvoir drive aren’t also a mix of grass and artificial ??.

36 games across all comps, City have started with 26 different defences.

 

And people still claim injuries aren't the route cause.

The majority who claim that also believe that the injuries are Brendan’s fault ……. So the injuries aren’t relevant as a defence for that reason

Great idea....run a Premier League and FA Cup winning team like a pub side.

Well if you've got relentless injuries how are you going to keep a settled starting XI unless the same small group of players remain fit and the rest are the ones always getting injured.

 

Nothings changed and nor is it surprising, the culture of this regime is causing a lot of these persistent injuries which negates any sympathy for an unsettled side. 

[Harpenden Fox]

The pitch thing. Probably nothing in it, but from memory, non contact injuries have been suffered at home by Barnes, Evans twice, JJ (twice), Caglar. I can’t immediately think of any away from home non contact injury. Probably coincidence.

[FosseSpark]

I just want to see us play this side at some point:

Schmeichel 

Ricardo Fofana Evans Justin

Ndidi Tielemans Dewsbury Hall

Maddison Barnes

Vardy

They appear to be sensibly managing him.

 

Unlike JJ, Castagne, Evans, Ndidi and Thomas
