TS time to act

Plenty o managers about looking for work atm.

We would end up with someone like morrison or pelts who are actually part of the problem.

Needs a fresh face who can clear out the dross and get some proper training drills in that make us organised and fit if nowt else. We have to become harder to beat.

I agree, fitness is key going forward and that comes from training and more balance between youth and experience. A while back I posted a research study that was published recently about hamstring injuries and it showed that the coaching and training was a big factor in the number of hamstring injuries, it isn't just bad luck.

I've watched about 4-5 games this week (not including ours) and I've counted 7 players from those games who have gone off/are now out due to hamstring injuries so it's definitely not just an RUFC thing despite what many of the usual suspects would have us believe.

Nobody is saying it is just a Rotherham thing, what I am saying is the research carried out on the subject identifies the coahing and training as big factors, so the question is what have the club done to address the risk especially with a squad of aging players? Please don't say you are sure they have done all they can, because you don't know they have and I don't know they haven't, it is just a question. What i will bet you is if we change the management and we start to win a few matches I bet a few of these injured players will recover quicker and be ready to play.

Both Spurs and Newcastle are struggling with injuries (and they are probably not the only ones) so are you saying clubs/managers like that aren't doing all they can to mitigate the risks? I'm sure they are. As I type Almiron has just gone off after 30 minutes with, yes you've guessed it, a suspected hamstring injury

No I am saying that piece of research states that the way the players are looked after and coached is a factor, that is it. It isn't black and white. In my view I think the players we have recruited are a higher risk of sustaining such injuries and taking longer to recover from them. You have to look at such things holistically and not just assume there are no rational reasons or underlying causes.

statistically that doesn't prove anything

Did I say it did? It's an observation.

I didn't say you did. Just a comment.
