Our current Injuries

Not sure if this topic has already been posted, I do wonder whether there is some issue with our current training regime or the methods of players nutrition.
To get 4 hamstring injuries in one game vs Port Vale has to have more to it than just bad luck!
 
Just like in the football manager game.
More pressing, aggressive tackling and intense training.
Easily leads to injury, especially for players who are not familiar with tactics.
I remember when Klopp started managing Liverpool.
They have a lot of injury problems like this.
This is the reason that at this time or during these 2 years, we won't get promoted.
Until the players on the team start getting used to it.

Which means we need to keep the majority of the squad, especially a good chunk of the key players, for consecutive seasons if so.

Would avoid a shambolic start due to the players not playing competatively together before too.

But we have had signifcant back injuries, foot injuries from players that have had nothing to do with playing style.
 
Some of those hamstring or muscles strains and niggles will be as a result of the other injuries limiting how much the manager can manage their minutes. Some players would’ve been eased in and out, their training regimes adjusted, etc, but having so many senior players unavailable means younger players are required to play much more senior football than was probably anticipated. They will naturally pick up little strains and niggles and if we had more seniors available, nobody would really pass conment on the team being freshened up.

There’s nothing anyone can do about McGree having plantar fasciitis as well. I think most of the long term injuries were impact injuries in games or training? Coburn has a hernia, nothing you can do. Hackney strained a hamstring with England U21s. O’Brien was kicked, nay, assaulted at Watford - let’s be straight about that - what can Boro do about those things. McNair tweaked his back during a game. I think we’ve just been very unfortunate that they’ve all happened at the same time.

But we’re not alone. Look ar Manchester United, Palace, Newcastle, Brighton. All ravaged by injuries. It seems to be a theme across football this season.

What happened as you keep on buying players though? Surely that would be a perpetual cycle as most clubs will make several signings a season as players are sold or leave, and if you do get promoted probably a huge change

It is bad look. We had a good long run last year with most players available and playing week after week. I'm sure not much has changed.

Thats a very good point. When we were in that patch between January and March where we were winning just about every game, and more importantly turning up looking like a side that believed they could comfortably win, the starting line up barely changed.

Going tomorrow and I think whoever is playing needs massive support. A point would be a good result as it stops a playoff contender getting further away, then followed by a couple of games we could realistically get three points from even with a depleted squad. Then Jan and some early signings hopefully.

From Carrick's own interview, there were fewer mid-week matches whilst he was here last season.

We were also knocked out of both cups early, which will have helped with that.

So things have changed, there are more matches in a short space of time, and they're starting to tweak the training because of the concern about the number of injuries.

So the patch between January and March next year.. when we should have all our injured players back and at least 3 new players from the January transfer window.

That would be nice....I did just look back at our fixtures from last year. I'd forgotten there was a month off for the World Cup which is obviously significant. We played 4 games in December, this year there will be 8. Then there were 5 in each of Jan and Feb, whereas this year we have 7 in Jan because of the cup run.

We’ve got some sly boosts here there and everywhere.

Players coming back will be like new signings.

Our players will be ring fenced to some extent because of our injuries.

Transfers will be given mad priority and we have a few extra quid cost of the cup run.

Hackney is a concern.
We will massively miss McGree
Coburn is an under the radar miss I think due to the success of Latte Lath.

Once we get back to a fully fit 22 we’ll be cooking on gas!

How we manage it only Carrick knows!
I’d defo be looking to push the boat out this January.. so many opportunities!
