[Archived] Injuries!

[Sparky Marky]

Why so many injuries right at this moment ? I get the feeling we've a few sherkers. They're paid well and have to play thriugh the pain barrier with niggles etc. Kean seems to be well chuffed. More plausible excuses for him to trot out.

Or is the training so inadequate.?

KEAN DOESN'T KNOW HOW TO DO TRAINING SADLY TO SAY.

Despite Kean's failures, there's no denying that your squad is suffering an unusual amount of injuries at present. I still think you'll pull out of the relegation zone, starting with a shock win at Anfield tomorrow. Good luck Rovers.

Think I'm suffering from Stockholm Syndrome.

Bob, I'll have you a 'tenner to charity' bet, with the draw seeing us both give a tenner away. I'm certain Rovers will win. There's a few fans on this site who know who I am, I will follow it through if you take it on.

A mixture of shirkers and poor training methods. Tends to happen with clubs destined for relegation.

I usually get in ground early and see the warm ups..under the last few managers the players work and stretched . Little 5 a sides , organised stretching, shooting was the norm.

We watched last weeks and they jog half arsed and then left to there own pathetic unorganised "warm" up and no stretching . It was keepyuppy stuff and chatting.

The subs came out at half time and stood chatting hands in pockets!!!!

I've noticed this too Abs. The contrast between Rovers disorganised rabble jogging around and Bolton's well drilled warm-up was obvious. I commented at the time to my dad who sits in DE side of Riverside.

Not worried about the non stretching. We haven't done normal stretching all season and currently we have the lowest number of soft tissue injuries for a while at my club (0). United have also gone down this route, they too have seriously dropped the number of soft tissue injuries, arsenal on the other hand do them all the time and have lots of soft tissue injuries, go figure.

Why wasn't the fitness coach out at half-time? I stay out and do a warm-up with the subs so they are ready just in case. I give my players 4-5 mins to do specific positional warm-ups after our keepy uppys and SSG's, this time is also for them to get their heads right and for short chats to inspire etc.
