The injuries we’ve had this season are quite ridiculous. Has any player other than Wyke and McGeady not had an injury at some point? It’s quite obscene really.

man that was a very silly decision to make, now we will probably miss him for the rest of the season when he is so crucial to us, i don't see anything about medical advice being sought before he named him in the starting line up, so i just hope he didn't come to that decision without medical advice,Man three years we get so close and it comes crashing down around our ears ,i hope the guys coming in can play a blinder

I like Johnson, but he does make some idiotic decisions at times. I believe this isn’t the first time he’s played an injured player and made worse, I can’t remember for definite, but I’m pretty sure it was Bailey Wright.

I think you are guessing a bit here mind. Medical advice will have definitely been sought. I would be very surprised if the assessment Johnson talks about was not by the physio who would have been part of the decision as to whether he could play or not, as would Sanderson. I cant imagine any case in modern football where a physio says a player is not fit to play, the players says be is struggling and a manager overrules them. Big consequences afterwards, particularly for a player you dont own. The insurance consequences alone would get your directors knocking on your door.

In my experience at thjs stage of the season players are rarely 100% fit. They all play with knocks and niggles but they dont get talked about. Certainly they all play fatigued which increases the risk of injury.

Didn't Keane play Craig Gordon when he said he wasn't fit and it knacked his knee ?
Seem to remember Girdon mentioning it in an interview

Brought Flanagan back too early and now he's missed loads of games. Not that I'm bothered, cos I hope he's one we'll get shot of, but it does prove your point.

LJ has been great so far, so I think we all need to cut him a bit of slack. He's turned us around from a mid-table side on the slide, to promotion contenders despite a shed load of injuries, particularly in defence.

Mad when you think about it. Maybe there are more examples than I could imagine but I have some experience coaching kids in pro clubs and I have always found doctors and physios are listened too.

I think you will find that the vast majority of footballers are carrying some injury or other. None of them are ever 100% fit. Of course there are some injuries that you can't play through the pain barrier, but sounds like Keane was from the Cloughy school of management when it came to injuries/imjured players
