To be honest, many of them do so little running in games that probably need to run a few extra miles in training to keep the pounds off.Seriously though, I think Dalians umbrella has a valid point.We were talking about the same thing at the weekend. It is incredible the number of injuries that the squad has contracted during training. There has to be some reason for it, doesn’t there?
With all the statistics there are today in the modern game is there an injury statistic ?

JT been sidelined since day one, players not happy about being dropped without telling them a reason. Basically sounds like they all had it cushy under Bruce, who thatcherlover must have got on with at BH, and are not having to actually graft for a living and don't like it. Wouldn't believe a word he says mate. Been caught out loads before and makes up utter BS.

If it was about the amount of running they are doing, why has Mcginn managed to play mostly every game since he's been here? He runs more than most. It's a load of Twitter bollocks which only the gullible fall for.

Not willing to have any pain at all even if it benefits us down the line. This is the first apt of our new owners and board and they will give him time. Weve not signed players on in the first window that dont join until the summer unless we are thinking further ahead.The young lads who have gone on loan will come back to us better off in the summer. That's then a chance for them so take up important roles in our first team squad instead of the overpaid wasters like Lansbury etc. The toughest thing for people to grasp at the moment is just accepting that we don't have many players who are actually any good. Certainly not up for the demands of a front foot style.My biggest worry is the effect of these short term results and what pressure that could bring. Say we don't beat stoke/derby then on the wrong side of a result at the sty, the whole thing just becomes toxic once again. Its blatantly obvious to a lot of the squad that they don't have futures under us. This naturally will cause a downturn in performances. Some of the news is inescapable of them knowing (the fact we wont discuss new deals with certain members) and that speaks volumes. Deano has discussed how he sees football and what he expects us to play. First time ever weve had a manager who discusses style, tactics and the type of players he wants. We now have to allow him time to put that into practice. If come Jan 2020 we are no further forward then that would be the time to look at his position.I agree with all of this but we’ve actually had 8 years of pain already so we’re entitled to moan a little.

He started off talking about tactics. Now he's just resorted to lazy Bruceisms and blaming the ref.
As for Jack's injury we were told at the time that it was a cumulative effect of him being the most fouled player in the league. I do however think that he doesn't help himself with those tiny shin pads he prefers. I'd also like to add that I think what's definitely a big problem with the team right now is the amount of players who know they aren't part of our long term future. I think it must be really be difficult to motivate all those affected.
I don’t believe for a minute that the injuries to Jack, Axel and others are stress related and due to the amount of running that they are now required to do.They’re not fast bowlers slamming their front foot down at the point of delivery. They’re footballers playing on relatively soft, well tended grass. Jack’s injury was bound to happen sooner or later in this league where he was the most fouled player in the division.
