In the past many played with pain killing injections if they were needed for a game. A disguise to the injury itself where many were lucky to be playing football once they reached 30. My old man lived in agony after he packed up due to a bad knock he recieved when playing and carried on week after week because various clubs expected him to do so. Now he,d have been out for a long period until he was right to play.

Many, many players from yesteryear were wheelchair bound cripples by the time they got into their fifties. The long term health implications of being patched up to play are much better understood nowadays hence much bigger squads, multiple substitutions and long term absences through injury.

The fact that Adaramola is not back at Palace is surely a good sign.

The fact that Adaramola is not back at Palace is surely a good sign. His injury was 4 weeks ago this Friday so if the estimate was 6-8 weeks he will stepping up his rehab to an extent.
We have a very busy October. We really must do all we can to have a strong selection of 20 plus players to pick from in that period.

Burton experiencing same problems. Seems commonplace.

An uncle of mine once wandered in error into a hotel conference room occupied by a dozen or so of what he perceived as 'completely knackered-looking old blokes in suits'. Then he noticed the sign on the door, it was for a public reunion event bringing together Newcastle's 1969-70 Fairs Cup team. I always think of that image whenever the talk turns to player-care culture of now and past eras. Got to conclude today's somewhat more enlightened (and humane).

Both Rovers players injured in our game (Martin and Senior) out for 8 weeks.
Edit - And Jordan Davies got for 3 months.

What made it worse back in the day was teams squads were much bigger than today where the reserves has a full pro team playing on saturday afternoon with an under 18 youth team players only getting an odd look in. Suppose though players from the past were no different from those who spent a life down the pit or in heavy industry who were knackered old men older than we are now at their age if they lived that long. People say we have gone all soft now. No i,d say more sensible in our lives no matter what we do.

I wonder where we’ll be up to by Crawley? I expect Bate will be back, maybe Mingi. Perhaps Connolly, Hughes, Rydel? Fiorini. Mellon meant to return on 7 September. It could be looking a lot more healthy with only Knoyle, MSH, Adamarola missing, or am I being overly optimistic ?

I have boy go back to the late 60’s onwards but from that time onwards I’d struggle to remember a time when we had squads as big as today. Remember a lot of team photos when we barely had 15+ players on them.

I have boy go back to the late 60’s onwards but from that time onwards I’d struggle to remember a time when we had squads as big as today. Remember a lot of team photos when we barely had 15+ players on them. Things seemed to change in the late 60,s where squads got smaller due to the maximum wage being abolished. Once clubs played a first team game on a saturday with a reserve one being played on the same day with the youth team playing on the morning. Without subs teams needed 33 players every week as a starter. When you look at team photos back in the day it was the main 15 or less shown in them and to get a full squad would mean they,d look like an school photo. Programmes back then never had the full squad published but a guess of which 11 would play for both sides plus subs when they were introduced. When my old man played in the late 20,s early 30,s clubs had over 40 pro,s signed on but the only picture i have of him was a reserve cup final 11 as no squad picture was ever taken.
