Has there been any update on O'Hares injury/fitness since the game on Saturday?

Anyone else struggling with VPN today?

Rose's distribution was top class from that role yesterday but the goal we conceded was crying out for someone like Fadz to be decisive and aggressive

How do we see us lining up here going forward? Fadz has arguably been our best player this season and is worth retaining despite his age, but you would think the three that played yesterday will be the starting back three in the future barring any new signings. The question is what roles do...

Give O'Hare Shipley's ball striking ability and you have a high-end europa league player. How about that.

How does getting 3 points against Boro warrant releasing an SJW into an old peoples home?

Our pressing was immediately more effective when Waggy came on. Not necessarily through him bringing the energy of COH or Gyok, but through him orchestrating things from the front and knowing when to entice the opposition toward us and when to get stuck in.

It's about risk management though. Assuming the normal risk of a player picking up an injury is 5%, and the current chance of Waggy sustaining a re-injury of his dodgy shoulder or something else from not being match fit is 25%, who would you play with a busy schedule coming up?

Yeah thats true tbf, although he was fine in U23s games during previous comebacks and then tended to fuck it within 15 mins of first team action. I believe the research shows that in a first team, stadium game you are more likely to get these injuries just because you are pushing your body that...

Fairly sure it's more about careful ACLR management than anything to do with his performance. If he gets one more ACL injury you'd think his career is over.

I find this aversion to keeping a (so far) successful squad together baffling... Quality additions are clearly needed to augment what we already have but continuity is important when you find a successful formula - no need for drastic changes to the squad in our current position.

A poor man's TAA

Got the Schopp

Has to be the box formation away and keep two up top at home

As a lil update for those interested - this image shows that impact occurred on the medial (inside of the) left ankle/shin, which is where the swelling is. Ligament injuries occur on the opposite side to the impact, as this is where the joint is opened up and the ligaments of that side are over...

Fair play matey, I'll concede it does look pretty knee shaped tbf... Just attached directly to a foot 😉🦶

Yeah thats me - well remembered! I'm in the NHS but dabble in football too. Anyone interested in this kind of thing should give Injury Mechanisms a follow on twitter as they give loads of up to date examples in football https://twitter.com/IMechanisms?s=20

The ankle would be swollen at the front rather than the lateral area in two scenarios: - Traumatic contusion injury from an impact - Disruption to the high ankle ligaments and/or syndesmosis The second would be fairly serious hence why I started the thread asking if anyone saw the mechanism...

Thats a shoulder not a knee
