Worst season for long term injuries that I can remember.

No wonder we had the trialist.

D'OS to play and then experienced re-enforcements needed in January for RB and LB.

Big blow this is. Hang on in there Jordan.

As I feared - it was ridiculous for GJ to go into a season with just one specialist full back.

Hopefully he will get past this injury and be training by summer.

As one who believes he's a decent player this is serious bad news for him, his family and the club. I trust surgery will go well and that he recovers quickly and regains his form. so sorry to hear this news.

....was stood by the barrier when he did it and boy was he in pain.
Wish him all the best,but if it was the hammie that was already strapped with magic tape then it was a gamble by the backroom staff that back- fired spectacularly.

He pulled up about 30 seconds after treatment the first time round. We've seen an alarming amount of injuries to players under the Gj regime, just unfortunate bad luck or is there another factor?

I don't see that any that I can remember would be down to training issues.
- Forster did his when he landed
- Gordon did his by hyper-extending
- Cranston did his...well, I'm not sure because I initially thought he'd collided with the guy crossing the ball or the hoardings
- AMS was put for ages because oppo goalkeeper fell on him
- Downes was out because his knees have had it
- Storer had missed quite a few games because of ongoing back trouble
- Atangana just has ongoing fitness problems that he had before he joined us

Who have I missed?

[RegencyCheltenhamSpa]

Dawson, same as Nige with ongoing injuries.

Asa Hall.

Holman.

Pell, Dickie

Maybe too much summer gym. You can overdevelop muscles. Hamstring tears seem to be a modern injury.Never happened when rationing was in or later when footballers trained on beer and puddings.

Pell, Dickie

Were they out long term? Anyone can pick up an injury that puts them out for a few weeks.

[longmover]

they were both out for more than a few weeks

I definitely think modern training and modern physiques mean players are always right on the edge. Like a finely tuned F1 car, just one slight over tightened nut or 1 degree too much temperature and the engine conks out. So whilst not injured during training, players are worked and trained so much that they are more susceptible to injury.

Then you get Arsenal with their too hard training pitch causing injury.

It would be interesting if a club open to " new" ideas cut back on training and weights and gym. Savings on fitness coaches,and some of those sessions could be spent on football,ground or cheaper tickets. We have more off field staff than we have strikers ,wingers or full backs and the football is much the same as ten or twenty years ago. Sport has invented a whole industry of hangers on.
Regency and I seem to agree on some of these things so the world is changing in a big way . This should signal a new Dawn. Turn all the gyms in to housing and employ all fitness coaches in new rickshaw businesses to save on emissions . Donate all performance analyst computers to charity and get them in productive jobs and if the players want to stay fit send them fruit and veg picking .

Graham Potter the english coach of Swedish club Ostersunds is doing revolutionary things and breaking the mould to great effect and success.I don`t think it will happen here.

Graham out injured now

Graham out injured now

Devastation of the squad this week. Going to need a good January to keep the promotion run on track, IF our makeshift squad can keep getting points until then.

Got to get Holman back.
