Injury watch 2025/26

[Larry_Parnell]

i notice in the clubs training vid ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5blM4Lc-xwU ) that Hunt suggests (1.30 mins in) to the new players that we train with more intensity than other teams and if 'they get a kick' it is just how it is here. No idea if this contributes to the amount of injuries the team gets but surely it can't help.

Risky. That certainly seems to be a necessary part of having players capable of playing our high intensity press through the game, but injuries are the consequence.

At the other end, we've seen what happens with a low intensity skills based approach where the players just can't play 90 minutes and get out fought.

i spoke with S Hunt last night. Paudie will be in the matchday squad Saturday. Unlikely to get any minutes though. Possibly Wrexham he might get some time on the pitch.

We’ve got a couple of Trophy games coming up too. If he’s close now, I imagine he’ll be playing some part of those two.

So if he's very unlikely to get minutes what exactly is the point wasting a bench option on him?

Well, CBs usually only get subbed on in an emergency, so he's hardly likely to be brought on just to put some minutes in his legs is he. If he's on the bench and likely to feature at Wrexham, it'll be because he could come on as a sub if needed.

Not that being in the matchday squad means you're on the bench.

Not sure why Noel's brother is party to detailed squad selection information though.

[From Despair To Where?]

Because he's O'Connor's agent.

[Mid Sussex Royal]

Neither O'Connor or Yiadom are available on Sat but both have been out on the grass again.

Nothing I heard about re potential Burns Injury.

Have they tried vaping instead?....

Both put out to grass already

No wonder we're struggling so much if our key players are spending all their time on the grass.
