Neil injured ...

Chuck Neil on the pile - he has a niggle big deal. What a great record of fitness he has.

 

All very reasonable mate, it's a complicated area but I'm sure we're constantly evaluating players. I often hear about players being 'rushed back' after a knock but, in some cases, it makes sense.

A player out for a fortnight is still 'match fit enough' but it's a sliding scale imo ...

... the more weeks someone is 'rested' the more that key fitness wanes.

Clarke came on at 4-0 down specifically to test his fitness and prepare for the following games. Otherwise you're starting him in the next when it's more frenetic.

 

Lots of players being injured at this time of the season could be written off as bad luck once.

It's not once though, exactly the same thing happened last season.

Why are people so desperate to avoid wondering why that might be.

 

People aren’t desperate to avoid wondering and there’s been some excellent level headed and considered posts about on here.

 

You seem more desperate to find something or someone at the club to moan about.
What’s next? Pre season schedule, summer transfer window, head coach choice ? I’m sure there’s something in amongst that lot you will take issue with.

 

It is a very complicated area, I am sure. Way beyond my level of knowledge thats for sure. The human body, perhaps the most complicated thing on planet earth? All you can ever do, I suspect, is blend the best of science, with experienced coaches, and a lot of player honesty. Even then **** will happen I suppose.

If Bain brings that posh ice bath non of this would be happening

 

Depends what choices are made. Believe it or not, I'm easily pleased. Just make sensible decisions. It takes two to tango on transfers so it's not entirely on the club. We can all see what we need.

A better way to go than refusing to criticize no matter what and getting angry at those who do anything else.

If your team get lots of injuries at the same time every year, costing your team a shot at promotion for one of those years, do you -

a) try to discuss why, or

b) insist here's nothing wrong and start working yourself with anyone who disagrees with you.

 

Try to discuss. Look back at your original posts. As I said, plenty of good discussion on here, just not from you.

 

''Oh dear, I've never been on here before, I don't know how all this works"



You're pathetic man, you really need to change your Spellcheck from American to English

 

You not wanting to hear it doesn't make it bad. Are you new to The Committee policing the board's acceptable opinions?

 

Capital 'C' every time ...

... dead giveaway

 

This is getting a bit creepy now.

I too use words, it's an open and shut case when you're weirdly paranoid.

 

And I'm the only person in history to have any problems with Committee Men.

Is there a tinfoil shortage in your village?

 

We don't have it right. I have said it many many times. That combined with a squad that is thin in quality in certain positions and buying young players who are not physiologically adapted to the robustness of the championship equals our current injury record.

 

You and Exile are the only posters to have ever spelled 'criticise' with a z and committee with a capital 'C' ...

... you were sussed on the first day you posted man

 

Ever?

Look at what you're posting. You're like the bloke off Always Sunny with the string all over the board, wild eyed and raving about someone who doesn't look like they're here any more

No more dopamine for you tonight.

 

Check all my posts if you wish, rarely will you ever see me engage in tit for tat arguments with someone who disagrees with me if ever!
I love my club and will defend it when under attack from anyone, I’ll also criticise when it’s deserved but your another level, not a chance are you a Sunderland supporter.
You’ve been sussed, crack on, I’m done engaging with you.

 

Just don't think this is true at all really. Look around the championship. Our injuries in the last 2 years have been to players young, old, players inexperienced to the championship and championship regulars. We aren't the most injured team right now, look at Boro for example, their injury list is pretty exclusively mid 20s championship experienced players.

Our rehab is poor, looking specifically at Alese and Cirkin there.

 

Grizzled Wanderer, post:

Why would I try to set people against each other? There's no vacancy there by the looks of it. It's very well filled by you.

Last bit of dopamine you get from me. Enjoy your evening.
