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. Not oversure its the actual game itself thats causing the problem. Since the start up of the bristol st. thing in the 80,s teams are playing no more games now than they were then at our level. Players in the past were fit to an extent they needed to be. Have these new fitness regimes, conditioning, nutrition and recovery experts really made the difference. Certainly not increasing those who watch the games live enjoyment in many cases. Win lose or draw many times i leave a ground feeling short changed after one half of a game is a total non event.

Definitely not - lad was nearly crying going off According to Sam Byrne, Stretton has gone off with his ‘head in his hands’, that’s one hell of an injury! Good job he's good with his feet!

Somethings not right with all these injuries, 3 serious injures (2 potentially at this point) all happened in roughly the same area of the pitch with little to no contact, innocuous injuries. Macca’s serous injury last season in his knee. Mellon apparent ACL injury and I prey it’s not, but I fear Jack Stretton has picked up another serious ligament type injury last night. I was sat near Jacks incident last night, he changed direction and his foot seemed to slip as he turned and is knee stayed where I was. I’d be very surprised if he escapes with anything like “just” a ligament strain. The poor lad was absolutely gutted when he came off, I could have cried for the lad. Somethings not right, it’s more than bad luck, and that’s only 3 of the injuries. Seems a lot of these injuries are picked up at EP or at training with “no one near” or “no contact” I might be wrong but how many of these injuries are picked up away from home?

All last season i noticed all our players seem to slip more than the opposition and that's home and away

Wasn't Rydel out all last season too? After all the money invested in the club,I can't believe that the club wouldn't have gone for top class training and medical staff. Be interesting to hear at the forum hopefully

Be interesting to hear at the forum hopefully he played 6 games but Stretton missed every game. Some of our medical staff are from premier league clubs and our facilities will be some of the best in the league It really doesnr help when some of the signings are players who are injury prone

Seem to remember we used to have a page from Rodger in the programme. We’re going to need need similar at this rate unless we try to keep things away from opposition teams.

The rate they are getting injured at we will have to bring back Neil Young to sign up enough players to get a starting eleven out each week!
