Jacob Ramsey - Gone

[Footy-Vill]

I'm more of a lover than a fighter but that was a great backhander Ramsey gave Dross Barkley in first half.

Let's hope JJ's foot injury isn't too serious, and particularly no reoccurrence of the metatarsal injury he picked up last year. He looked good in the first half last night before going off.

[Somniloquism]

He was caught early on in the game and at one point in the highlights on MotD, you can see him hobble after playing a pass during the Watkins highlight reel about the link-up play. 54 seconds in

Yeah, I noticed that. Wonder is it the same foot he's had the previous hassle with. We badly missed his physicality and ability on the ball in the second half.

I'm not one for insane conspiracy theories, and this isn't one of them, but we changed some of the medical team at the start of the season, and we've had a series of players getting injured, coming back, not being ready and then getting injured again.

Yes, agree. Plus a lot of hamstring injuries. Are these players warming up properly?

[Hookeysmith]

Any injury on his injury yet. Will just be his and our luck to be a re occurance of the fracture

would be our luck that he gets an injury on his injury

There might be something in it. It's also no coincidence that as we're on the up players want to be part of it by declaring they're 100% over their injury when they're only 85% or less.

If it was just us experiencing it, then I'd make us both danlanza themed tinfoil hats.

Like Bren, I think players are desperate to be part of things when the club is being successful, and if they've trained well and reported no pain there's not a lot a manager or the medical team can do other than trust the player.

Thats a good point - it certainly happened in 1980/81 - no one wanted to miss a game

We do not seem to be told how the figures in the BBC article are calculated unless I have missed it. For example does our figure include Buendia who was injured before the season started an has not played at all?

[Somniloquism]

They are from the linked site Premier Injuries. And he does include Mings and Buendia in his list on the site so I do expect our 800 days or so is including those two, plus probably Ramsey and Moreno.

I can't help feel though it is just used to plug his "analysis" which does need to be bought.

I'm pretty sure we started the season with the usual medical team but the changes were made after a couple of months. I even wondered at the time if the decision was influenced by what happened with Ramsey's premature return the first time around.

Are we thinking of another Ramsey - Hacob?  That is the one that Unai refers to on interviews.
