Injury update

Concussion protocol misses the next 2 apparently

 

Can live with that. Nice little rest for him

 

Think the protocol for young lads is 10 days though so a chance he’s back for qpr

 

Is that right mate? I am not coaching anymore but it used to be stricter for younger players if memory serves. 14 was the protocol, with 5 stages to work through. In settings where top care and monitoring was available you could do it quicker if a doc was signing off, but I thought that was no quicker than 12 and certainly u18s were not allowed quicker returns.

Very dangerous things concussions. Big risk of second ones following quickly and causing more long term damage.

Hope Mayenda hasnt got one. Where is it from? Really wantes our strongest side out next 2 games.

 

Lad from what the falk podcast posted it mate he’s got a lot of info on injuries this season, I googled the protocol rules so not sure how reliable they are, I hope he’s got this one wrong mind love watching the lad play

 

Injury update

Cirkin - Already back

Ballard - In the squad for QPR

Mayenda - In the squad for QPR

Mundle - Returns to training ahead of the first leg

Alese - Returns to training ahead of the first leg

Poveda - could be back but expect no major involvement

Huggins - is in part training and RLB hasn’t ruled him out of some involvement in the playoff squads.

Abdullahi - focusing on returning for pre season

 

Love Huggins and absolutely want to see him established in a Sunderland shirt but we’re not desperate. If Cirkn and Hume are on their game, no need to risk him although a cameo in the final might be nice.

 

Alese is a big bonus for cover at leftback as well as CB.

 

Justice for Joe Anderson

 

He can come on for the last 10.

 

When were 12-0 up

 

Le Bris has said that Romaine Mundle and Niall Huggins participated in the training camp. He said Mundle would not feature against QPR but will be back with the team from Sunday so the winger could play a part in the play-offs.

'Dan has trained well and is available this weekend...'

 

Alese not involved tomorrow, back for 1st playoff game.
Or so I was told off a guy in a florist thisaffa

 

Again I don’t mind this at all.

rest Alese and Mundle ready for this bigguns.

apologies for the layout of this post but I’ve been drinking and watching Clearwater credence revival at the fire station

 

Huggins being available for the playoffs could be big. Seem to remember last time he was out for ages his first game was against a prem side (Fulham?) and he was our MotM.

 

Cnnay gud four a pist blowk

 

Feel like sh!t on a stick today like

hawayyyyyyyy the lads !
Train at 09:00, down Wetherspoons for breakfast and I’ll be right as rain (hopefully)

 

My mate was there. He was impressed with the support act as well.

 

Rhino Edwards, he was class. Proper old school

 

Quite unlucky the playoffs weren’t 4 or 5 weeks away. Would have had a canny squad to choose from.
