And there is the major issue this season, injuries and the players who have needed to cover not always being the strongest quality to do so - mainly the hangover (still) of Ashley's era

Something we need to look at in the Summer.
We weren't anywhere near this badly affected last season so has something changed in our training regime? Was it Europe...bad luck...bad injury management?

Bad luck in injuries has played a part - I mean we've picked up about 7 freak injuries that just couldn't have been accounted for that have kept players out for weeks/months.
But agreed, it has to be looked at.
I see we're hiring a new Performance Director, to go alongside the Sporting Director and their remit will be Science and Medial, so looks like club are putting things in place to try nad avoid in future.

Yep-like playing Botman with an ACL injury or letting Murphy come back from his dislocation too soon.

So that’s at least 9 players who would always be involved on match day missing for at least half the season. Never seen anything like it.

That was just wrong.
Regardless of what the player says, medical staff should over-rule.
