Injuries - Why do we have so many?

[Fiery Blade]

After last years disasterous run of injuries that both our manager Blackwell and chairman McCabe put down to bad luck should we not be asking questions regarding medical care and fitness training at the Lane?.
As someone said at the forum, broken legs and arms are bad luck, strained and pulled muscles, groin injuries, calf injuries and the like are probably more to do with poor fitness and technique.
Our casuualty room last year boasted overload with long term injuries to Henderson, Naysmith, Geary, Speed, Willioamson, Ward, etc even Morgan had calf strain keeping him out. Now before we have kicked a ball Henderson is out for four months with an injury he got last season.
Whats been happening over the summer?
We never had these problems when Tony daley was fitness coach!!!

And I don't remember us having them last time Riddle was here either!

I am surprised that a scan of Hendo's hamstring would have shown it torn from the bone when he acquired the injury against the unclean.
Unless having the op to remove his wisdom teeth (although without them I don't know how he will manage to outwit opposing centerbacks )had a loosening effect on his hamstrings!

"Injuries - Why do we have so many?"

We don't. Dunc told everyone just the other day it isn't really happening and it's all fans over-reacting.

We've only got Hendo, Wallo, Willo and Francio out for the start of the season. That's less than 20% of the squad missing in action. Nothing to worry about.
