It seems like every team has struggled with injuries this season tbh. Either the overall quality of physio and rehab is getting worse or the ever increasing pace and intensity of the game is taking its toll added to the hectic schedules.
Having just watched Sunderland v Luton in the play offs - we need someone like the Hatters CM Nakamba for next season.
Short of a miracle for Sheff Wed, I’d like to see us go for Windass. I think he’s add that same thing that Connolly can. Maybe I’m just going for him because of Deano?
Hadn't he been injured for a while, 29, from a lower league club, think that was our old recruitment policy...
It's not hindsight at all, as people have said, hamstrings re-occurring can happen, it's pretty basic knowledge, having Ally play two games in 3 days from the start was daft and it doesn't take hindsight to know that.
Again though, two games in 3 days is not just being 'so cautious', it's being daft. Easing him back in like we did with Traore, for instance, was clearly the way to go and Rosie admitted as such after the re-ocurrence.
I might start posting a bit more often, just to try make a difference to the usual **** on here. I probably won't though. So would someone else do it please.
"You're the only one that can save us cried the wizard, or all is lost". Bonus point for naming that tune.
We're going round in circles with this. Rosenior explained in full that Allahyar had shown through all of his load levels and metrics that he was 100% fit and ready. You could always leave him one more game but then if he gets injured whenever he does play again people will still say it was too early. If he was mysteriously still missing weeks after being perfectly fit people wouldn't be happy with that either. At some point players have to come back and there is always a risk they'll get injured again. In Tetteh's case it was about 2 months after he'd first returned from his previous one.
We really are going round in circles. He sort of said that as part of a wider comment where he explained the science that showed he couldn't have been any more ready.
Personally, I feel it is more to do with the intensity of games now and the schedule. Players are being asked to press all over the pitch, and I would guess that levels of running and effort have increased over the last few seasons. Hence why squads now are probably bigger.because there has to be more rotation than before.
