filbertway Posted 10 May 2007 Posted 10 May 2007 But the thing is he carries on playing, usually. I just noticed in your sig, linvoy doesn't have a head
Geo V Posted 10 May 2007 Posted 10 May 2007 He seems to pick up injuries in every youth game he plays, plus that Preston game, is he just really unlucky, or very frail? He is still a growing lad so Im sure he will bulk up a little and maybe that will help him avoid getting injured so often.
jaffa1970 Posted 11 May 2007 Posted 11 May 2007 Maybe we also need to invest in a decent strength and conditioning coach while Milan is splashing the cash about. There has to be a logical reason as to why our lads keep getting soft tissue injuries. Sometimes weights and bulk are not the answer..flexibility training and explosive movement exercises will better condition a players' legs. Most hamstring injuries usually occur when a player takes off at top pace or firing a shot at goal..the muscle is not used to making such explosive movements that often. Most of them tend to happen later in a match when fatigue has begun to set in..so muscular endurance could also be a problem. Having a good conditioning coach will reduce the pressure on any incoming manager as there will be less muscular injuries and therefore we will have a full list to choose from most weeks.

Yeah i can understand your logic there and i think your spot on. Tbh i think that Milan will get some better coaching staff in come summertime. Especially after Wortho came in and said the fitness levels where appalling.
Ric Flair Posted 11 May 2007 Posted 11 May 2007 He seems to pick up injuries in every youth game he plays, plus that Preston game, is he just really unlucky, or very frail? If you watch how he plays, he's very much like Wesolowski and throws his whole body in to challenges, etc. The fact is, he picks up knocks but often recovers from them very quickly. I'm sure as he develops this won't be a problem.

davieG Posted 14 May 2007 Posted 14 May 2007 Heartbreak For Young Lion Mattock City's Joe Mattock played a full 90 minutes for England in their UEFA Under-17 Championships Final against Spain in Tournai, Belgium on Sunday evening. However, the 16-year-old was unable to inspire his country as England's dream of ending 14 years without winning a major trophy ended in heartbreak as they went down narrowly 1-0. However, their considerable consolation lies in qualifying for the World Championships later this year - a first for the Three Lions. Mattock burst on to the City scene towards the latter part of this season, making four appearances for the Foxes.

lookwhaticando Posted 14 May 2007 Posted 14 May 2007 So that means we`ll lose him for part of next season?? Probably not. Hopefully not, anyway. Not a bloody clue when the tournament actually kicks off, but the U-20 world cup here in Canada starts sometime in June, so I suspect the U-17s play during the summer break too. So hopefully he'll be back with us for the start of the season - without injury, one hopes. 2007 Fifa U-17 World Cup / wikipedia.

sdb Posted 14 May 2007 Posted 14 May 2007 17th birthday tomorrow. hopefully a nice contract is waiting for him under the err... birthday tree?!
lookwhaticando Posted 14 May 2007 Posted 14 May 2007 17th birthday tomorrow. hopefully a nice contract is waiting for him under the err... birthday tree?! Harvest festival tomorrow?
Thracian Posted 14 May 2007 Posted 14 May 2007 Harvest festival tomorrow? More the sowing of seeds at this point if my wish should have come true..
lookwhaticando Posted 14 May 2007 Posted 14 May 2007 More the sowing of seeds at this point if my wish should have come true.. What was once as clear as mud is now as clear as the sky over Pompeii in 79AD.
Thracian Posted 14 May 2007 Posted 14 May 2007 What was once as clear as mud is now as clear as the sky over Pompeii in 79AD. You have to be just a little more patient.
Wezleylowski Posted 14 May 2007 Posted 14 May 2007 Thought you were onto something there LWICD but Thracian has to quash our hopes again.
potter3 Posted 16 May 2007 Posted 16 May 2007 Left Back when I watched. He was often quite far up the left side but there was always another player in front of him.
Matt Posted 18 May 2007 Posted 18 May 2007 Went to see England v Holland U19's last night @ that horrible little stadium down the M69 (Coventry for anyone that doesn't understand me) Poor, A team which tbh even Leicester could be tbh! There passing movement was ok I spose, but some of the players were very greedy infront of goal and when they got that far up the field it was shocking. If thats the future England team, I'm even more worried than I am with out current England team. England 1 - 2 Holland. (England scored in the last minute and missed a Penalty just before H/T)
lookwhaticando Posted 18 May 2007 Posted 18 May 2007 Surely the U19s aren't that important? They're stuck in no-man's land, I reckon. Too old for the U17s who seem reasonably good at the minute... not good enough to force their way into the U21s. So I suspect those playing for the U19s aren't that likely to feature for the senior side... not many of them anyway.

Hopefully Nah i'm making them sound worse than they are tbh, Indvidually they were ok, but if they were less greedy I think they have played alot better! I only went because I had a free ticket.
