Just throwing this one out there as a suggestion.. has anyone noticed a few players having a run of games, before not being seen for a while, but then there are claims they're injured...?

Howard: Started every game, never really had an injury that ket him out for a number of games before, not seen him for 3 games

Higdon: Was subbed against Swindon as he was most certainly gonna get sent off due to Swindon players conning ref, now he's obviously injured...

Collins: Was one of the first on the team sheet last season, can't get a game this (we know about him and Clough, but could this be an indication he could be in a similar boat to other players mentioned?)

Ben Davies: Was on fire at the start of the season, all of a sudden had a 'nasty' ankle injury that kept him out for 3months.

Scougall: Last played against Swindon (iirc) and hasn't been seen since, apparantly also injured..

Alcock: started the season well, dropped and then again, apparantly injured...

Reed: In an out of the team, though not reported as "injured"

Am i talking shit? Or could i be onto something?

Maybe we just sign injury prone players, oh wait...........

We have a strong squad to cover niggles and knocks . Bring them back too early and they will make any injury worst , and be out longer . Gruelling season and every squad member will play there part in the run in.

UTB
 
JL94x4 - yeah i think that's bollocks mate.

Howard not even been in the squad - clearly injured
Collins - not deemed good enough by NC
Davies - was injured for weeks
Scougall - injured
Alcock - was injured for weeks, now can't get in
Reed - 17. When he doesn't start, he's on the bench.
 
Just because they're not in the squad doesn't mean they are injured...

Collins being the prime example.
 
The only one not injured was Collins, Alcock isn't now but we have Brayford. Think youre making a conspiracy out of nothing.

The club say they're injured and we have to believe it?

Remember when James Beattie was injured with the flu, only in the end he wasn't, he was down in Stoke for a medical.

So what's your thinking as to why we would do this? Surely we must have some reason for doing it, if you're right and not talking shit?

Well, Ben Davies went to great lengths to keep up Cloughie's ruse about him being injured. He even got Mrs Davies to tweet a picture of Ben with his leg in a brace at the seaside, which BD re-tweeted. Quite elaborate, if he wasn't actually injured.

I think it's obvious which players Clough does fall out with, for whatever reason. He doesn't make excuses about them being injured, like he hasn't with Collins.

Actually in his defence wasn't there a small period where Davies fell out of favour before he actually got injured? I might be mistaken.

At the minute, with Flynn out, I'd be playing BD ahead of JCR, bagged a few early doors.

this is just one of the issues with having a large squad is that players can disappear from the match day squad. It also can't be good for players to play into form. A bad game or two and they are out but some players they will thrive on competition x

Mostly injuries, Collins only one on that list whos had a spat.

To answer your own question, you're talking shit. Injuries happen, if not then you wouldn't need a squad.

The good thing this season is that we don't need to rush injured players back

Reed is 17... He's being brought through steadily
 
I used to love that Arthur C Clarke's mysterious world....he was always banging on about 'the bermuda triangle' and 'crystal skull's' from memory...

is that a critism of clough ?., or just a throw away comment we have had a lot of niggling injuries this season which is one reason we cant keep a settled team.
 
Alternatively, aliens could abducting our first-team players, holding them on their spaceship and conducting depraved medical experiments. I fear that Baxter may be next.
