Least he should be fresh for next season.

What's the problem this time ? At least Tavares can be called upon a whole lot more now. The experience will do the bloke a big favour, particularly if he can get a few goals.

Sky Blues striker Matty Godden looks set to miss the rest of the season, after scans have come back showing the 30 year-old has suffered a calf tear.

Matty picked up the knock during the 2-2 draw with Blackburn Rovers and whilst immediate thoughts were that the striker would return this weekend, that has now been squashed.

I’d like Weimann here next season, not sure on wages or his contract situation though.
He seems to not be out injured much!!

I hope not, he's miles away from being good enough to start. He was completely anonymous on Wednesday. Give Waghorn a few games if he's fit, better to try and get value from his wages.

Some tough decisions it appears are going to made by robins this season in relation to the players that are consistently injured season after season. I'm talking about Jones, Kelly, Goddon, Clarke Salter etc etc.

It's not there fault they are consistently injured as they don't want to be on the treatment table and that's the negatives of a physical sport but Robins is 100% right... we can't move forward while we constantly have the same players injured every other month. We have no chance of rotation with a small squad and don't expect it to much bigger next season. I go to the match and you just know so and so's missing again etc due to this or that.

We are not a charity and while I feel desperately sorry for the above mentioned you can't go on for ever.... like i say, i feel Robins is going to make some tough decisions in the close season.

Again, given that he's spent decent periods of all 3 of his seasons here out injured (especially the last two) his new contract offer and term is just bizarre. I like Godden and think he's stepped up admirably, but we can't afford to have on the books players who are out injured for long spells every season.

It's getting to the stage where I'm now half expecting the club to offer Waghorn an extension.

Well we are a bit of a charity as the choice to move Godden and Kelly on is out of our hands now and reliant on somebody (1) wanting to sign either of them and (2) wanting to pay what they demand.

Interesting that MR wants the physio team to look at if they’re getting anything wrong here. Been a horrible season for injuries all round (not all of them preventable, of course).

Same could be said for last season too.

We could always give Bright a call and see if he's available for the next 2 months ?

Something hasn't been right.

Add into that times when Robins himself has refused to take players off. Dabo, O'Hare when he couldn't walk. I even think McFadz too.

Again, with the tight budget we have, we can't afford to carry injury prone players in the capacity that we do. This is one of the reasons why I think signing Clarke-Salter might not be a good idea.

I'm a massive Godden fan, but his injury record is shocking.

We return players after long injuries shortly after returning to training, often without U23s match practice into our style of high intensity play. Someone surely is telling Robins that this is a short-term solution but a mid-term no no.

Yeah the use of the U23 is also a good point.

Along with players getting brought on as a sub to ease them back into it. Will often be nothing for weeks or on the bench and then starting.

No club can afford a player that misses large chunks of the season, even if they so score goals when they play. And we have one of the smallest budgets in the league.

2019/20: 26 league games = 76%
2020/21: 23 league games = 50%
2021/22: 23 league games = 50%

I'd imagine it's a clever ploy to make sure he doesn't hit 25 goals this season and we lose him over the summer to one of the relegated PL teams.

…and it’s not like Kelly or Godden will ever be in demand by a better club, so what exactly are we securing?

Copied and pasted from a previous post of mine regarding this topic.

"It very much seems that we're almost deploying a Ken Dulieu tactic of giving out long term contracts to players whose value is depreciating or is relatively nominal, as the club believes it adds some kind of security to itself. However this so called 'strategy' is already backfiring badly and I can only see the repercussions worsening if they continue with it."

We've had a scatter-gun approach to offering long term contracts to the wrong players and it's gone relatively unnoticed for some time. I think the club probably believe at the time it's some kind of masterstroke by securing these players long term but it really isn't as it's now starting to severely impede their ability to conduct decent business in the transfer market.

I know it’s become a standard response to any Sisu related weirdness but is there a tax/finance implication to having players on longer contracts?

That's the only positive, if we can get him ready for 22/23 season he can have a decent crack.

One more long term injury though, it reaches the point of should we get someone else in? (I don't want MG to leave us)
