BCFCGav Posted November 5 Author Posted November 5 (edited) Ok, let’s pick the bones out of this. Tanner and Williams are absent following injuries from the weekend, as is McNally due to a concussion. Those three spots are taken up by Morrison, Pring (back from his cut against Cardiff) and BIG ROB! Think I’ve got all that right!

Nogbad the Bad Posted November 7 Posted November 7 If I heard Radio Bristol right both Tanner and Williams will be out for 'months not weeks'. Not back before the New Year then at a very minimum. Tanner apparently a knee injury and Williams an Achilles, so not the dreaded hamstring. 1 Quote

Not back before the New Year then at a very minimum. Tanner apparently a knee injury and Williams an Achilles, so not the dreaded hamstring. The Tanner injury especially is rather damaging because given the McCrorie rolling issues, it basically means we have to imbalance the side- no natural RB. Sykes and Earthy I supoizd but again they are wide midfield, wingback at best and creative midfielder respectively. That imbalance will help to undo us but we can't just sign 3-4 in each full back position just in case. We know Pring, Roberts and even Naismith in emergencies can go to LB but..it's a big problem.

Mr Popodopolous Posted November 7 Posted November 7 Coild we recall TGH given a) His versatility and b) Our persistent issues in this position won't probably fix themselves soon. If he played RB or even RWB Vyner, Earthy and others could be used as intended. Quote

Mr Popodopolous Posted November 8 Posted November 8 Thanks @Davefevs that makes sense. Ian has downgraded it to 11 now and given Murphy especially but including Murphy and Nelson in the injured if he is given they (Murphy especially) aren't first team is well that is his choice and perhaps a little bit of spin by him too.

For me it’s a simple one (might not be for everyone though), Murphy was signed to be part of the first-team set up, we paid £200k(ish) for him, so he’s in my first team list. That’s how I do it, and I stay consistent with “my rules”. Been doing injury tables for 3 years now. Nelson, who hasn’t yet played, was part of the City preseason squad so is on my list. I only include officially announced injuries with the odd exception of when a mate tells me something, because he “knows”. At the end of the day, it doesn’t matter whether Ian is trying to spin the numbers one way or another, 1) it is too many imho and 2) LM still has a number of bona fide first-teamers (see below) to pick from, without needing to rush injuries back or expose academy players who aren’t ready. So if you’re trying to spin that LM hasn’t got enough players you are being a bit disingenuous if you’re then trying to say the amount of injuries is normal. O’Leary Bajic Vyner Roberts Pring Atkinson (McNally) Knight Bird McGuane Earthy Mehmeti Hirakawa Cornick Wells Armstrong Mayulu plus Morrison plus Campbell-Slowey Phillips It lacks some balance at RB, but it’s still 11 starters and 4 subs worth of players. If McNally is fit, it’s a full compliment of 5 subs. Nor do you have to use 5 subs either! I believe the likes of Taylor-Clarke and Backwell are also injured, I think one is muscle the other contact. I saw Callum Wood in a leg brace the other week also. 1 Quote

BCFCGav Posted November 9 Author Posted November 9 (edited) Good debate and discussion all. I long for the season we’ve not so much to talk about though! Here’s what we glean from todays lineup: Sykes’ and Naismith’s injuries from Tuesday means today comes too soon, we’ll await to hear more on both. Dickie is suspended. Those three are replaced in the squad by fit-again Luke McNally, and youngsters Campbell-Slowey and Phillips. Place your bets on which two players we lose today…!

While the stats may show some other teams may have a similar number of players unavailable at any given time, we permanently have a number out with medium or long term injuries. Certainly when a City player is about to be subbed through injury it now seems inevitable bad news will quickly follow that the injury will see him missing for a prolonged period - we don't seem to get 'knocks' any more with players only missing a game or 2. We are never injury free or even close to it, the moment a couple of long term absentees are ready to make a long awaited return to the match day squad it seems almost certain 2 or 3 others will take their place on the long term absentee list in double quick time. 50 years ago we wouldn't have believed the amount of medium and long term injuries we've continually suffered for at least 5 years now, and if we'd had anything like this amount in those days we certainly wouldn't have been promoted to the top league. 2 Quote

I guess that’s the difference between “knocks” (contact injuries) - look how quickly Pring came back, and muscle injuries - strains, ruptures rather than tightening / tweaks. Quote

Solent Robin Posted November 14 Posted November 14 Whilst the likes of Burnley, Norwich, Hull and Sunderland have signicant levels of injuries to ourselves, the average is between 5-7. Millwall have the least at just two. The vast majority are muscle injuries of various descriptions, which can be attributed to the demands and intensity of the modern game. However we seem to have had a high volume over several seasons with different regimes, which doesn't indicate that any one medical team have been incompetent. I can't see that conditioning of players is likely to be that variable between clubs because they will all have similar access to data and technology. Training methods may vary between different clubs and coaches, but again given our different regimes that doesn't indicate that being the problem. I know that there has been speculation that our pitches are quite hard, but I would assume that the surfaces are fairly common across the championship. Therefore, it is difficult to pinpoint the causation and whilst I don't have the historical data, we do appear to have more frequent peaks in comparison with other clubs. Maybe we are not the most boring club in the championship, but the unluckiest. Remember we didn't any penalties for what seemed forever! Quote
