BCFCGav Posted July 25, 2023 Author Report Share Posted July 25, 2023 (edited) Conway went down with no one around him before heading straight down the tunnel according to people at the game. Vyner also subbed late on, not sure why at this point, but I’ll leave him off the list for now. Conway goes on though, that’s an injury. Injured: Atkinson McCrorie Naismith Benarous Weimann Conway Good pre-season this. Let’s see who we lose Saturday.

Spike Posted July 25, 2023 Report Share Posted July 25, 2023 This is one of the reasons I hate seeing so many fans on twitter banging on about how we're going to be top 6 etc a few injuries can change everything. I still wonder how we're always racking up so many injuries, there must be something in how the training takes place or in how the players are pushed because it seems to happen a hell of a lot. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rickyrobin Posted July 25, 2023 Report Share Posted July 25, 2023 Suddenly the options don’t seem so strong. Hopefully just a knock to TC. The issue we have is the radio silence from the club. Ffs COYR 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you not think our availability has improved out of all recognition since Dave Rennie arrived? Weimann returned under him & then didn’t miss a single game the following season. Hardly “so many” injuries, is it? I would expect we are pretty much in the middle of the table regarding player availability & would be interested to know for instance how we could have stopped Atkinson & Benarous doing their ACLs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totally agree. For all we know. it may be the club that are choosing not to risk Naismith too quickly during pre-season rather than him believing he is unfit to play. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For reference no one did so last season, Vyner managed 45 (missed Rotherham away through illness) & Wells was on the pitch in 45 too but he only started 32 of those. One of the reasons we brought in McCrorie, Dickie, Roberts & Knight was to give us more squad depth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It did for a bit but bare in mind we brought new players in so we couldn't do that without them being fit. I would call 6 injuries before the season even kicks off pretty heavy, especially when one is your lead striker and another is your brand new signing who's longest injury prior to this was 3 games missed due to corona virus and now he's out for "59 days". 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Army 75 Posted July 26, 2023 Report Share Posted July 26, 2023 Bit more of an interview with Fleming. Mentions a few others. Naismith seems be the one that will be out the longest 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northern Red Posted July 26, 2023 Report Share Posted July 26, 2023 5 minutes ago, Red Army 75 said: Bit more of an interview with Fleming. Mentions a few others. Naismith seems be the one that will be out the longest The key bit: Quote Kal Naismith is yet to play in pre-season and once again wasn’t in either squad for Tuesday’s matches against Exeter City and Cheltenham. New signing Ross McCrorie played last week against Swindon Town but was missing for the weekend double-header against Newport County and Oxford United and again on Tuesday. Andi Weimann, meanwhile, played and scored in the 4-1 win over the Us on Saturday but has since been suffering with a bruised foot. Fleming wouldn’t go into extensive detail over Naismith but accepted he has been dealing with several niggles, while raising the fact the whole season needs to be taken into consideration rather than just the first game, indicating the Scot is a doubt for the start of the campaign. McCrorie’s problem seems minor but unless the right-back is involved against Portsmouth on Saturday it seems unlikely he’ll be in consideration to face Preston. “Kal’s not far away, we’re just being a little bit careful because he’s had a couple of niggles as we’ve gone on,” Fleming added. “The season isn’t August 5, we average 54 games in a season, so it’s important to have everything right. “It’s the same with Ross, it’s a little niggle. And Andi has bruised the bottom of his foot, so it’s not a bad injury, it’s just every time he plants his foot it’s like being on glass. He’s grand, we’re just getting the ice on it. They’re not major, they’re not months away, they’re days and weeks, so that for us is very good. “If you're a player now, at this time of the season, you’re trying to calm them down. They say two days’ rest saves you two weeks. Sometimes three days' rest will save you two months. So it’s just calming them down. They’re all working hard but at the moment we’re just being careful.” 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davefevs Posted July 26, 2023 Report Share Posted July 26, 2023 As per @GrahamC re Rennie, the amount of games lost to muscle injuries has dropped drastically. Compare that to the muscle injuries and subsequent re-occurrences we saw. Contact injuries, whether in training or in matches there ain’t a lot you can do about. ACLs are often freak in how they happen…but I do think the speed of the game, the hard-pitches (underneath) they play on have an impact. They are becoming almost as regular as the cartilage injuries of the 70s and 80s. Essentially we’ve been playing two mixed up 11s through pre-season, not having Naismith for game 1 is not as important as having him for more games when he’s properly back. Rushing now may lead to re-occurrence later. We are still in good shape. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrahamC Posted July 26, 2023 Report Share Posted July 26, 2023 That’s disappointing to read, though the general point about having players available for the majority of games & not simply the start is spot on. We’ll know more after the Pompey game & maybe McCrorie could still be back by Preston, but on this basis it looks like Tanner, Vyner, Dickie & either Pring or Roberts will start the first one. We should have clarity on Kalas by then so if it is confirmed that he’s gone & then depending on the prognosis for Naismith maybe we will look to add another?

Just expect us to clarify the situation then, we don’t even know if our offer is still on the table.

I might be wrong and I'm sure someone will correct me, but I was under the impression that Kalas had bought land in Long Ashton and was building new property? Maybe I got the wrong player Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
