Heckingbottom Injuries

[Jon Bon II]

We can lower the intensity but then the performances will be worse.

Just buy better players then. Simples!

 

[3Cheers4Ramirez]

True, he tried to snap Sander but came off worse

If that's true he needs booting out of the club

Which is a shame because in matches I like him. But you cant have a wanker of a training ground liability like that

He's got form for it. He was the one highlighted last season as being a bit of a cunt with the U23's, also put the challenge in on Doyle in Portugal that has kept him out and now apparently hurt himself going after the big Norwegian.

I'm all for committed players and high intensity but there appears to be a trend with JLT suggesting he may be a bit of a bully boy.

 

[SwissBlade]

"High intensity" .... are you sure?

Yeah 100% but thanks for requesting clarification

 

[robbiez666]

I don’t agree with your last point. Both players were defending from the front from day 1.

To a degree yes, but nowhere like the committment they were showing at the end of the season.

Can I just point out before it gets out of hand that I completely made this up

Oh. Problem is, it's 100% believable

I'll let him off for now then. But he's on his last strike......

We have had players struggling with injuries prior to him taking charge.

Hecky seems to know why some of the recent injuries have happened.

He highlighted the training pitch as an issue. It is not completed yet.

It's not realistic to expect things to change before what he has highlighted has been implemented.

Both Didzy and Rhian were injured in games. Same with McBurnie and Sharp if I recall accurately, Bogle also. Not sure how that is on Hecky. It's not as if they are training in pit boots are they. Are they??

 

[Edgar Allan Poo]

"High intensity" .... are you sure?

Watford was a rest day.

 

[finlaytheblade]

I think we’d have to see longer term how it pans out with us. It’s certainly not helped having to step up the intensity mid season when players should already be showing high fitness levels.

But as much as Hecky has said about the training pitches needing sorting, Billy has also countered this by reminding us all that the training pitches have been the same for years.

We also had the mini break that wasn’t a break over Xmas when other teams were dropping with Covid, we continued training for matches and the intensity over this period.

But I think the biggest thing is the number of games we’ve had to cram in and with a few injuries already reducing the squad numbers we’ve had to crack on with half fit players.

Hecky, like Wilder gets players playing at that high intensity so the risk is always higher for
Injury, but I think it’s a combination of all the above plus some luck which has played its part

We've had injury problems before !, All clubs have these problems from time to time, what with covid and the joke of a pre -season last year ,these problems were stoked up and we have paid the price over the last year.
We don't from what I can see bring players back before they're ready! If anything we err the opposite way.
I assume pep would have looked at our training methods and found no problems otherwise the loans wouldn't have happened.

 

[haich1889]

McAtee referred to the level of intensity in his interview when he signed, he said "it's serious, if you're sloppy they get after you".

Could it be a case of poor pitch, high stakes high intensity training? If so how can we avoid that without losing the edge in matches?

I didn't see low intensity on Monday, let alone 'High'.

Hecky has them at all his clubs

 

[mattbianco1]

Coulibaly knee operation now

 

[Ndiayewillalwaysloveyou]

 

[3Cheers4Ramirez]

It's fucking scandalous this

 

[Eric_Brooks]

Who is injured now?

 

[Stanthemanfan]

Billy ankle ligaments

 

[Westran]

Sharps injury doesn't surprise me really, he's no spring chicken and we've been saying for several seasons that we won't be able to rely on him forever, he just seems to have defied all reasonable expectations for a while. Hopefully this isn't a quick drop over the edge and we see him sticking goals in soon

Baby unicorns still on offer though….

 

[LewishamBlade]

Very interesting one… ANOTHER injury. All bad luck though.

 

[William Carey]

For fuck sake

 

[3Cheers4Ramirez]

What we saying for this one, 3 months?

We have no chance this season

 

[Gavlar]

Gutted for rnd as he has been great.

Hamstrings normally take 6 weeks.

 

[3Cheers4Ramirez]

Hamstrings normally take 6 weeks.

We usually double the timescale

 

[JackSUFC]

Same. He could potentially be ruled out of the World Cup too.

Some serious inquests need to be done on the injury front. It’s gone way past the point of being ‘bad luck’. Never known anything like it.

 

[A Storm of Blades]

Absolute negligence

 

[boss hog]

Could be out the world Cup looked like it from his reaction looked gutted.

 

[Gavlar]

Sadly that’s true mate.

 

[William Carey]

He couldn’t even walk. Give over
