Having done acl surgery on both knees using modern medical technology I can guarantee your knees are never the same again. I can see why you are saying they are never the same player after the injury. I do think some players get beyond it but for others it’s a slow descent down the leagues until they eventually retire. Let’s hope both come back fit the former category and do brilliantly!
Need to build on momentum we gained last game, Leeds one, so I expect a good result. A draw or a win for us. Let's not go back to bad results of first half.
It also depends on player type, slow old-school players like tall target-man strikers or towering CBs can return fine but athletic players or players who creates miracle in small spaces suffers mostly. Unfortunately, for our case I am worried about Millar most, since he was a dribbler that plays with a lot small steps that requires change of direction, rotation. One common thing is, usually they suffer same injury on other knee due to balance issues between knees. An article about it: https://bjsm.bmj.com/content/55/23/1350 The second ACL injury rate in professional male football players is high, affecting almost one out of five players over an average of 5 years. Having sustained an index non-contact injury or isolated ACL injury were both independent risk factors for second ACL injury, and these two factors combined were associated with a 42% s ACL injury rate. The median career length following RTT was 3.4 years and 60% of players still played top-level football 5 years after ACLR.

I had a dream last night that despite being under the cosh for large parts of the Millwall fixture we came away with a 1-0 win. I woke up with intense morning glory. This must be an omen so I am sticking with Lions 0, Tigers 1.
Just popped over to have a look at Millwall socials and spotted this. I know it's a regular point of discussion about the training ground/portakabin situation at Cottingham but the state of our changing rooms at the MKM is also pretty ropey compared to most. I know it's hardly the biggest deal in the world but it's just part of the image/mindset we present. Look at Millwall in comparison. Ours look tired and dirty, like quite a few areas of the stadium.
