Don’t know if the lad has suffered injury while on loan, but it would seem to be dreadful bad luck to get injured so soon after returning to the club, or there’s another reason?

Theoretically we should have a specialist medical and fitness team or who are involved in the design of the fitness aspects training and ensure it is done in a way that builds fitness and reduces the risks of injury. I don't know exactly how our coaching is set up but I think that, whilst Holden and the first team coaches would oversee it, they should be getting input from the fitness coaches who should be designing and organising appropriate fitness training and ensuring that the other training that is planned is not likely to cause avoidable injuries. The number of injuries suggests to me that either: a) Holden, Downing and Simpson are not communicating their plans to the fitness team. b) Holden, Downing and Simpson are ignoring feedback from the fitness and medical team as to the risks of injury. c) The fitness and medical team are not giving the right feedback on the risk of injury from our non-fitness training d) The fitness and medical team are designing our fitness training in a way that inadvertently aggravates rather than prevents injuries. The fact that this feels like a continue on from problems in previous seasons despite a substantial overhaul in first team staff makes me think it's not likely to be a) or b). It could be that Holden is the factor but that feels incongruous with the interviews he gives and the fact that staff and players suggest he communicates well makes me think it is less liekly. So I feel it might be c) or d) But in any case something is obviously going wrong in the structure. Great review of the current situation but surely - at least according to @Bassomylord, you should have identified how we can implicate Mr Ashton (a non medical / training person) into any of the reasons as to why we have such a big list of similar injuries.

So I feel it might be c) or d) But in any case something is obviously going wrong in the structure. Ok, let’s put some stuff we’ve been told by the club: Holden was involved in preparing pre-season, as there was no appointment at that point. It was done in conjunction with Andrew Rolls we were told. Now, conjecture on my part.....Holden would’ve primarily been advised by Rolls from a pure fitness and conditioning point of view. I would imagine Dean would be working out how the football but would fit in / compliment the fitness side. I’m sure Patrick Orme would have input too, as the conditioning guy. Now, back to training. Will comprise warm-up, fitness, football, warm-down in a simplistic schedule. Some may be combined, e.g. fitness with football to make it seem less like fitness work. Patrick Orme runs the “fitness” elements of the days training....we’ve seen plenty of video of him leading these sessions. He’s also there when they’re doing football bits too. What we don’t know is who constructs each days training, but we’ve been told the coaches and fitness team meet daily to review data and plan the session. Now, more conjecture on my part. Dean is not a fitness specialist. He will have to be guided by the fitness team. If he ignores them when they say a player is fatigued then he’s stupid. But we don’t know that. this is the team involved with the first team (for info): Head of Performance: Andy Rolls Head Physiotherapist: Andrew Proctor First Team Physiotherapist: Gill Holt Head of Fitness & Conditioning: Patrick Orme Proctor is seen on the training too.

I know you can't help the odd injury, but the ones we get aren't short term niggles as you've said before. Now we have another tear to a player who had been playing regularly.

Redrascal2 Posted January 15, 2021 Report Share Posted January 15, 2021 I can't imagine a player wanting to join a club where players get injured so quickly and the medical team ensure that, whatever the injury,they seem to have little chance of returning to play before the season ends. How long this farce can be allowed to continue is anybody's guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobbie Posted January 15, 2021 Report Share Posted January 15, 2021 I didn’t buy into the idea that the fitness team were incompetent previous to this and felt many of the injury’s were unlucky but the fact so many muscle injuries have happened in training, which should be tightly regulated with warm ups, warm downs etc. There are definite questions to answer. By the sound of DH in the presser he thinks the same. He would have denied there was an issue otherwise and stood up for his team in face of some now high profile negative attention if he felt it was unwarranted.

Northern Red Posted January 15, 2021 Report Share Posted January 15, 2021 Holden refused to put it down to bad luck in the press conference so I'm not sure anyone else should be doing so.
