Stretton off injured. Knoyle just joined him 🤦🏼♂️ Definite injury for Stretton? Not just done his allotted time? Definitely not - lad was nearly crying going off

Didn’t we explicitly say in one interview that we were signing talented players who were seen as injury prone, on the basis they’re good value and our medical and training facilities were so good that they’d reduce the number of injuries they got. I’m 99% sure we said that officially, which sounded mad at the time and even more so now. I doubt that as we'd never have heard the last of it on here, however last time I doubted something on here it took a matter of minutes to prove me wrong. I don’t remember precisely what was said but there was definitely something about our facilities meaning we can handle and manage injuries better than other clubs. Meaning we can take risks on players.

I wonder whether injuries or ticketing will be first up at Tuesday's Fans Forum?
Definitely going to be the two hot topics.

Kyle Knoyle was on an iron man streak until his freak head injury. It does feel like we’re cursed.

I don’t remember precisely what was said but there was definitely something about our facilities meaning we can handle and manage injuries better than other clubs. Meaning we can take risks on players. We might have the facilities but you wonder if we have the right medical and training staff at the club. The number of serious injuries occurring can't be just bad luck,but surely the club must have looked into this properly?

It’s clearly a lot more than just bad luck all this. Very odd.

Its a crying shame both for us and the lad. Good chance we,ll never see the lad play for us ever again. As for the injuries as a whole it was stretton last season with other out for months like wootton. MSH, Barry and not a couple of weeks out which is the norm.

Mass injuries is football wide at the minute, teams at the very top have 6, 7, 8 players out. Is it too many games? The pitches? Players being tested for any slight pain when they'd play through the pain in the past? It's not just us but we have in the last couple of years had a shocking fitness issue.

Football is reaching the point now, through a combination of athletic development and increasingly ridiculous scheduling (particularly at the highest level) where it's asking human beings to push their bodies to the limits of what is physiologically possible. In serious cases this has resulted in deaths and serious cardiac complications, and more generally has seen an increase in "day to day" injuries. You can have all the fitness, conditioning, nutrition and recover experts in the world, they'll make little difference if you're pushing players to increasing physiological levels across the same/more games.
