sheps Posted January 9, 2022 Report Share Posted January 9, 2022 Just seen this on Instagram where Leicester fans have highlighted the injury problems that they’ve had since Dave Rennie left (or sacked as they put it) Hopefully this shows he’s the man to sort all our problems from the past! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davefevs Posted January 9, 2022 Report Share Posted January 9, 2022 I like what Rennie is doing, but without context of the injuries, e.g. contact, muscle, training, game, etc, it’s really difficult to assess. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fuber Posted January 9, 2022 Report Share Posted January 9, 2022 It's a good sign for us if nothing else, that it's gotten worse since he left them. Onwards and upwards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steviestevieneville Posted January 9, 2022 Report Share Posted January 9, 2022 Plus our injuries are much reduced this season in comparison 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeAman08 Posted January 9, 2022 Report Share Posted January 9, 2022 Maybe it takes time to get the team into such good shape that you don’t see many. That said, been pretty disappointed with the time missed by some key players. Williams, Massengo, King, Tanner and Semenyo(after he came back from summer injury) have been big losses at times. You can say we have had less injuries but we also have 6-7 less players than last season. Smaller squad can’t be having 5-6 of our best 18 being injured for so long. As said, hopefully it is something built over a few seasons because as a one off not that impressed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have had key players out injured for differing length of times since he has been with us. Safe to say there is no "magic wand" for preventing injuries. Another year will tell us how much improvement (if any) there has been on the injury front. It can be argued for instance that Williams was injured before he arrived and COD is playing regularly now, but Cundy is still now where to be seen.

Lanterne Rouge Posted January 9, 2022 Report Share Posted January 9, 2022 I would say on balance we`re in better shape than we used to be. As @VT05763says, Williams goes back to the previous regime IMO and Andy King is bound to pick up more injuries as he gets older. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Swan and Cemetery Posted January 9, 2022 Report Share Posted January 9, 2022 Difficult to drawn any statistically robust conclusions given low volumes, but feels like last season a lot more very long/season ending injuries, this season only Williams that we’re finding very difficult to get on the pitch, plus Baker which is an issue that don’t think any medic can really solve. This year’s King/James injuries would have been Weimann/Martin etc last season, ie not ideal this season, but much shorter. Don’t necessarily think that means Rennie performing miracles, more the previous regime were poor. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tanner was one where I felt surprised how quickly he was thrust back into the first xi, Williams I feel may be one who is more naturally prone to injuries (regardless of medical staff). As for the remainder, hard to say... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If when he is fit again, maybe we only use him as a sub and spot starts to finish the season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NP did mention that they have to protect him from himself as much as ensure his fitness as he's desperate to get on the pitch. I'd agree that he needs careful management and cut out consecutive starts. As you say, a few sub appearances and a game here and there to build him up. Shame he's injury prone at the moment as he looks the part when on the pitch and gives us a bit of bite in midfield.. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red-Robbo Posted January 9, 2022 Report Share Posted January 9, 2022 Our injury rate last season was utterly appalling. I can only see positive progress on player fitness since Rennie joined. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marina's Rolls Royce Posted January 9, 2022 Report Share Posted January 9, 2022 What Buster Footman could do with a magic sponge is the stuff of legends. And he could outrun Junior Bent from the bench to treat an injured player. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Midlands Robin Posted January 9, 2022 Report Share Posted January 9, 2022 I don't bother reading anything from the Ipswich forums since their less than savory comments about us but I can't help wonder how their injury list shapes up across this season and next with Ashton's preferred medical wizard at the helm.

BS4 on Tour...

1960maaan Posted January 10, 2022 Report Share Posted January 10, 2022 The thing that encouraged me after his joining us was what the Club posted a while back. Pearson moaned about the fitness etc when he came in, and obviously that was a long term problem, that would need a long term fix. A while after Rennie had been here, they posted the info below. The things that stand out obviously, are hamstring strength improvement and robustness improvement . Both would have a positive impact on injuries you would think. I've enjoyed the videos he's done, and I'm massively more confident about the fitness and injury solving now to where we were. 9 hours ago, Curr Avon said: A leading local sports broadcaster told me recently that Williams was injured when he signed for City.

I haven’t. That’s not to say it’s not true, but I’m happy (haha) with what we were told, which was that because Wigan were all over the shop that summer, his signing for us a bit protracted, he didn’t do his close-season work properly and got injured driving through a ball on day 1.

Yes, he was a really good player. Plus he was a master of the near-post flick on from corners. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
