Rocky Posted September 17, 2009 Share Posted September 17, 2009 Pretty sure I had what the players are getting, big time swollen glands (makes you hamster like), and general feeling of being very ill. I was also tested for Glandular Fever and mumps but it was neither, just a virus. I was only laid off work for about a week, lots of water flushed it out!! and was 100% exercising in the gym within 2-3 weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Watts Posted September 18, 2009 Share Posted September 18, 2009 Better get Trundle and Styver back! Many a true word said in jest and all that... I don't think there's a recall option on either, but there is on the likes of Wilson, Plummer, Jackson & Artus. I can't understand why, if we're suffering from this bug, we haven't activated it. When you look at the team against Swansea, we had the following: Ill: Carey Maynard Haynes Gerken Unfit, but selected: Sno Nyatanga Clarkson Henderson Wilson Skuse(?) Picked up knocks in match: Fontaine - forced off Elliott - forced off Basso (elbow) - managed to stay on Injured: Akinde Not sure if I've missed anyone, but that's fourteen players affected by illness, injury or fitness issues. Surely you need as much cover as possible and need fit players on the bench. I'd rather have a match fit Tristan Plummer on the bench for example than a David Clarkson who has been consistently described by GJ as being "very weak". The whole illness thing appears to have been severely mismanaged. GJ says they're all using separate water bottles in training etc, but surely if anyone wakes up with any symptoms they should be staying at home and calling in, getting the club doctor out to assess them rather than bringing the virus in again and dealing with it there. Separate water bottles won't stop them all going into the same changing rooms etc... GJ said about Gerken that he looked like a hamster.....he shouldn't have been anywhere near the club for GJ to have seen him to know what he looks like!

Another dig at our Manager for no reason, why dont you people get a life. I dont mind constructive criticism but slagging of our manager and players for the sake of it is just nauseating. If you would have bothered to watched the medical report on "I player" you would have heard we quarantine all the players that report in sick, they dont even get to see the fit players. Well clearly gerken wasn't quarantined if gj saw him. Infected players should be nowhere near the club. That's as much, or more, the players' fault as it is the management. and to clarify, in this situation, the word management refers to whoever should be dealing with this, be it gj or the club doctor - most likely the latter. And i don't feel it is a pointless dig. I'm very much behind gj and what he's done for the club since he came in, but he isnt infallible and therefore is as open to criticism as anyone. Do YOU agree with the policy of filling a matchday squad with people struggling to be fit instead of recalling someone who is? The majority of our bench on tuesday weren't fit and the situation has apparently worsened, yet still no sign of loanees being called back in, which in my opinion makes no sense at all. Just because i disagree with the way a situation is managed, doesn't mean i've turned on the manager. Can you honestly say you agree with EVERY single decision gj has ever made? If so, then i don't really mind your criticism of my opinion, because you're clearly incapable of holding a balanced viewpoint on the club.

Lets be fair, we dont know what the whole story is. Like most illnesses, these players could have the bug in their systems a good 48 hours before they show ANY symptoms, if they dont know they have it, they will carry on with their daily duty. The only way they could have controlled it completely would have been to shut the club down for a week or so, and lets be fair....that cant happen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nogbad the Bad Posted September 18, 2009 Share Posted September 18, 2009 I thought it was mumps. I thought that was ruled out, in Nyatanga's case anyway. Judging from Nicky Maynard's symptoms there's more than one bug anyway, and no one seems to know what virus is affecting those who've had the same nasty one - i.e. Johnson, Orr, Nyatanga, Clarkson, Haynes and Gerken. Those are the ones we know of anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair enough.... thought they'd been there longer than that - fuelled by my obvious lack of confidence in Hereford's ability to progress in cup comps. I remembered TP scoring for Hereford in the cup and thought that was the first round. My bad.... in that case....we're screwed! Team spirit will have to win out again.
