... Whilst at the same time injuring the remaining fit playerswe will win at WBA and Preston but in the 99th minute at the S O L we will be 1-0 up and a flying saucer/seagull will come down and deflect a watford misskick into our net !

Assumed Gelhardt would be on bench when Mowrbray said he "should be ok to play some part" but aye, if he's fit then start himI’d stick with Gelhardt drop Pritchard
Please God don’t let there be another Monty who can see into the futurewe will win at WBA and Preston but in the 99th minute at the S O L we will be 1-0 up and a flying saucer/seagull will come down and deflect a watford misskick into our net !

For me

Bring Pritch and Michut on after an hour
Just go for it keep them penned in their half use the physicality of Ekwah and Gooch to run for an hour and change them when they’re knackered.
Simple this management lark.
He is being half positive which is an improvementPlease God don’t let there be another Monty who can see into the future![]()

Are you for realAm I the only one that thinks if O'Nien's missus was due on Sunday he'd consider missing it to play, given our injury situation?![]()
All outsourced now. Payments and needs basis only.
Not very much preventative measures. Something that should change.
I remember injury prone players playing long spells under Allardyce. Of course some of our injuries are from bad challenges on field that can’t be helped, but I swear I remember reading somewhere that the cryo machine is gone along with some other tech.
Personally thought the world of Strongman is the best place to look for recovery. The things they put themselves through is insane.
Wonder if the club would invest, or have invested, in a hyperbaric chamber to help speed up recovery.
Are you for real
Of course he would
Have you had children
What a thing to say

I mentioned the workload a couple of our players have had this year last week. Baath was one. Neil and Clarke have played crazy amounts of games considering the physicality in their positions. Baath was the other one.We've definitely had a lot of injuries this season, but it's a bit hyperbolic to talk about players being "out for the season" at this point when there's only 18 days left.
Batth has played 42 games this season at 32 years old. I don't think he's a victim of any poor training/recovery approach.
Johnson is class, big future for sure. The silver lining is we can see if anderson is ready for championship football or notI mentioned the workload a couple of our players have had this year last week. Baath was one. Neil and Clarke have played crazy amounts of games considering the physicality in their positions. Baath was the other one.
I never normally subscribe to the view we have more injuries than anyone else. It has been a crazy season this one though. Really critical players out for long periods. One of the strengths we do have is our academy though. Johnson should come in now. That in itself I find so exciting. Any player coming in from the academy is an absolute credit to this club, and a sign to young players across the north east where they should start their careers. Massive for our future.
Mentioned this before but I remember reading that while Allardyce was here we had some system that monitored the players for signs of fatigue and whatever other sports science words can be used that I don't know. Each day the training team would be aware of players that were a risk of injury etc and reduce and tailor their workload to negate the risk! On top of that they had the cryo thing. Obviously bringing all it together was a good medical team using all this data etc...
We are clearly a world away from thus at the minute but all of that sound like the minimum a professional sports team with players worth millions should be putting in place. Wouldn't buy a Ferrari and take it to Halfords auto centre for a service would ya!
Be interesting to know what percentage of injuries are impact injuries in the match bet its low as its not often these are long term to my limited knowledge?
