Whats wrong with our training???

[paddy20]

Yet more injuries injury this time to Jaakkola & Yiadom. I make that 12 players injured since the beginning of this season. You would normally expect 2/3. What on earth is happening. An ex-pro I spoke to said this is what happens when there is unrest and the team's playing badly. Its probably and perhaps over training

[Old Man Andrews]

Every team has injuries, we will have no more or less than other Championship sides.

[Hound]

I don't think the number of injuries is much of a surprise. The Champ is pretty relentless and they need to fit training in as well

There do seem to be some issues with the rehab etc though, and quite often players come back not looking fully fit or later than expected

[Snowball]

We often get "injuries" when the manager faces "difficult choices"

[Sutekh]

Got to say though the continual number of injuries this club manages to pick up in training since Stam arrived beggars belief and is beyond "bad luck". There must be something wrong somewhere, if not with training itself then the general approach to and player fitness.

Maybe Some don't want to play......

Purely rumour but as I say in my only ever rumour post one of the things I was told by a reputable insider friend that the owners got rid of our perfectly good doctor/medic/not sure what exactly and replaced him with someone they wanted who is a plastic surgeon by trade (for some context within the medical world plastic surgeons are regarded as good at plastic surgery but useless at anything else vaguely medical so this is regarded a joke of a change).

Basically they got rid of our own good man to get their own shit man in.

No idea how true this is and I appreciate it's rather vague ir if it would affect training at all. I'm hoping someone who knows more about RFC who is allowed to say might help.

What in hell's name are you talking about? Have you been on the spirits this morning already?!

[Millsy]

Mate I don't need spirits to talk utter shit, everyone knows that.

But this is honestly what I've heard and those who know me on HNA know whilst I talk shit I never make up rumours. No idea how relevant this is just thought I'd throw it in here.

[John Smith]

Ok cheers.

I don't understand the correlation? If they're unhappy does that make them not stretch off properly or fall over and hurt themselves?

Second that about plastic surgeons. My wife worked in an hospital

[Forbury Lion]

Yet more injuries injury this time to Jaakkola & Yiadom.

Do we have a 4th choice keeper available or are two whose names I can't even remember back from injury?
Yiadom will be missed, but not as much as having no goalkeeper.

If that's true, maybe some of our "injured" players will look more handsome when they return to the match day squad.

It was explained to me something like this

Its very unlikely a player will feign injury but most players aren't 100per cent fit and play with the odd niggle or strain. But when things are going badly or they don't like the manager players don't push themselves so much and will often think I will rest up a bit instead of risking it. If there was a play off spot or big cup game then they would say hey i'm fine!

Maybe this explains where Pelle C and Popa have been. Maybe they'll turn up in Jan looking like new signings.

Makes sense, cheers.

Probably the case for Callum Harriott I'd imagine.

[CountryRoyal]

Not true. Statistically success is inversely proportional to amount of players used. The teams that do better use the least (have a settler squad, less injuries) and the opposite for the worst.

If he was a dog he would have been put down long ago.

You're going to have to provide numbers!
