Great choice of words, and apparently there's a good convalescence home in London offering him a place. 😄

Some  Chronic injuries to high performing sports people, does Not just Need the rehabilitation, with small Work outs

But a period of convalescent therapie..Basically Not stressing the Target areas. It means really, After or before rehab,you do fk-all..

So ..ie, ones hip,ones tissues etc.. can recuperate

Maddison is a Player who relys on  more twisting & turning from his hip for his game.. Could be a labral tear,that just does Not settle,and means,Not a 2 week to

3 months outage, but Rehab & convalescence over a longer period (With no promises)

 

From 14 up to 22 I was considered an high Performance athlete, then my knee- exploded and my hip had a labral-tear/Fracture

( Today Not uncommen),  that just wouldnt respond..and in my day,   less was known & you was Left to your own rescources.

or if in luck convenient known contacts .Not so much Sponsorship or Media noise...

look at Shearer's knee,even then, if took him a long Road before he found a specialist..

Imagine what the not well payed sportsman or total high performing Amateurs have to carry and sorrowfully decide..

 

Even Today hip/knee injury areas ( all diiferent , Not the same as the Next person) can be difficult to resolve, tears or stress fractures can become complicated

Because of Madders injury history,and repetitive longer-out-times..There are then Open questions...Just when he had started to see the higher level & the breakthrough was opening/ abegging...

 

 

Mind you in my Part if I hadnt had that Experience I most likely wouldnt of chosen to  do adventure-trekking/travelling, or work-overseas...

So....

 

But it Made me realise injuries are Not black/white or even Grey, & Reading this forum some other wannabees struggled too..

JV's best game since before the operation earlier this year. I think he's back! 

Yes looked that way...his Trigger movements & bursts seemed crisper..though that could be my  individual perspective...

This exhibit is a football fan who got a free trial to The Athletic and was not only suddenly an expert on all aspects of the game but made completely bizarre comparisons just because they thought no one would study their opinion closely enough. Ask him a wider football question and he'll tell you what he thinks (once he's sent an email to the Athletic and they've emailed back to tell him what he thinks).

 

He does do the dirty work that goes unrecognised in fairness though. Case in point the FA Cup Final. That classic Tielemans goal? Everyone was quick to praise Thomas for the assist, but that move started because Perez scrapped to put his body in the way and win the ball back off James' pass. Almost looks like an accident when played back but entirely intentional.

Do I think he's as good at is as Okazaki was? No. But I do think he comes in for unreasonable flack on here when he doesn't put in a vintage performance in the final third. In a weird way, he feels like the new Matt Oakley - needs to score to get any credit off our fanbase, when he's still doing a decent (if not incredible) midfield job for the team's overall play in terms of being a needle in midfield and helping transition the play to attack further up the field.

EDIT - Fook me, it's just dawned on me that some people on here won't even remember the League One / Cardiff Playoff season days for the Oakley comparison. For the youngest here - he was to blame for everything before Wellens was.

Am I getting old?

Was he a mess? I know he misjudged a header but what else 

Two mis-judged headers.  

Bullied by Adama for his chance where he shot straight at KS.

Stepped into two tackles that he was made to be a pylon.

I have to watch again, but there was a sequence where he mis-read a ball that left Thomas alone to clear.

Harsh on Vesty, he misjudged one header, and made a vital tackle at the end of the game. He’s literally trained once with the guys and looked pretty good when you consider that. I disagree about Wilf too, I thought he was superb today, and what was good is he too is now dropping in and wanting the ball, it’s probably the best I’ve seen Wilf on the ball, granted a few first game errors, but other than that he was pretty damn good. 

Like I said "It was a very difficult situation for him, so hopefully it was a one-time thing."

It was disappointing not to see Vardy's disallowed on MOTD, looked good to me and no doubt it fired him up for his second.

They showed it in the post-match analysis.

[Guest Danny Clender]

Great to see the fans back in the stadium, and also, great to see the fans back in the stadium posting first-hand experience on here.

For myself, it does add an extra dimension to the opinion because I don't live on ENG 1, the pitch side views have been missing.

Perhaps this is why there is such an extra boost of contrasting opinions again?

 

Vardy....he was proper buzzing, with good rotation with Daka, surely there's no reason why he'll not have more of those games throughout this season, this was the best sign of the day (unless there was a 'SIGN YOUR F****NG CONTRACT TIELEMANS" sign)

 

I think Brendan got the subs totally right, second half we only had 9 players, so they made sense to me.

As much stick as he's been getting for "closing out a 1-0" the bottom line is, it worked, so the argument will hold more weight if/when it doesn't work. 

It was a good, if a little risky, strategy of holding out, but we will have learnt loads from it and we still had chances of scoring, it's just excruciating for the nerves, perhaps that's why people are so angry with the plan. 

 

Soyuncu was great and he's going to have to carry us out of defence more, he's got the skill set, so that's something that can only get more entertaining. I think he must have learnt playing football in a corner. 

 

Any road, joint top again!!

 

EDIT: I knew there was something else. Ricardo!!

He's taken the "it's like having a new signing" tag line. That skill to set up the cross for Vardy's goal was sensational!!

He's tied down the right back spot again....it sure sucks to be in that left back clog spot.

I agree he wasn't great when he came on. On the positive He did make a couple of nice straight passes into midfield. 

 

I'm hoping he'll come good like Evans who wasn't great on his debut against that lot either

I was disappointed by Little Wes's injury - especially by how it was caused, but Maddison's is far more concerning.

He's gotten through pre-season training only to suffer a recurrence in the first competitive game. That means the injury hasn't been 'cured', and is being provoked by movements made under match stresses.

Anywhere else on the body a muscle injury is relatively superficial i.e. close to the surface.

The abdomen has complex layers of muscle and those around the hip, with various attachments to the hip, are the basis of leg movement. Football ain't a natural movement, so rehabilitation involves strengthening muscles that don't get stressed in day-to-day ambulation.

He's between the Devil and the deep blue sea with this. Continue playing and it's continued moments like yesterday. Had he had a medical with Arsenal, they could have rejected him.

I suspect a long lay-off and then careful monitoring. He might have to accept being a 'super-sub' with City, but this leaves City with a big problem.

Great start to the season, 3 points against a team who are difficult to break down and beat. 1st half we controlled the game for large parts however in the 2nd half we inevitably came under pressure as Wolves had to step it up and chase the game. We still looked dangerous and created chances but Brendan was right to make changes to help shore us up and try to close out the game. 
 

I didn’t think we were as bad as some made out, it will always be a tough test against a side packed with quality players and good attacking threat. We didn’t look at our defensive best which is hardly surprising given the number of players missing and the fact our new signing signed the day before. 
 

Amartey is a solid defender but our style of play and wanting to play out from the back exposes his limitations and he will give away possession, we were lucky today that Wolves failed to capitalise on a couple of mistakes in possession , however overall he did ok. 
 

I thought Brendan got his tactics right IMO, we were being overrun with Madders and Perez ineffective in the second half so correct to bring them off and use the opportunity to provide more more energy and defensive cover and whilst it was tense, we got over the line and still was able to create chances to put the game to bed. 
 

Barnes looked fit and full of energy but was rusty, Vardy was superb and put in a hell of a shift, Cags was excellent, Youri moments of sublime magic, I thought Kels had a good cameo off the bench, Luke Thomas looks better every game he plays whilst Ricardo looks back to his best and a real attacking threat from full back, great assist for Vards goal which was a wonderful finish. 
 

Vestergard will be an astute signing, 30 minute cameo in tough circumstances with very limited training time was always going to be a baptism of fire, but looks assured and is very good at breaking lines with his passing.

Well the game wasn’t exactly 100mph. Scrappy games like that are tough to get going….

 

[harpendenfox]

Wonderful to be back at the KP. Really felt quite emotional in the ten minutes before kick off, and deeply proud when the players took the knee, and were robustly applauded by what seemed to be the vast vast majority. Well done us.

[mozartfox]

Having slept on this - a win is a win.  Good first half, crap second half.  This pillocking around with 5 at the back is baffling and how Perez gets to start, can only be down to him having some photos.  When Timmy is fit, hopefully he comes in at RB and Ricky plays on the right wing.   What has happened to Benko?  Dan's hospital passes are extremely worrying.

 

37 pts to go.

[Pliskin]

BBC radio Leicester allowed to interview players again? 

[TrentFox]

Was occupied all afternoon yesterday, so have only just seen the goal. Wow. That is the most confident moment JV has had in front of goal in 7 months. Sublime finish. How amazing would it be if he could recapture some of that regularly 🤩

[Sol thewall Bamba]

Good when we were playing 4-2-3-1, pretty disastrous when we went to 3-5-2. Could have easily have drew/lost if Wolves could put the ball in the net. Oh well, 3 points in the bag and we're off and running.

Seen a lot of Wolves fans say how good their support was today. I sit at the opposite end of the ground and barely noticed them 

 

They weren't bad until we scored and then they made no noise for the rest of the game.

I’ve said in here a few times that Maddison’s hip injury will probably end his career

It’s one of those weaknesses that’s very difficult to sort out 

Watch this space…

From what I saw of Trincao, I think we dodged a bullet!

Looked like he was holding the small of his back to me, not his hip.

 

It seemed an impact injury from being continually fouled from behind.
