Big Impact Player Injuries

What the heck is wrong with Jatta?

Is it still concussion?How can you have it for a fortnight?If it's something else now,fair enough but only Notts could have someone out with concussion for a fortnight FFS.

Head traumas and concussion can cause lifelong damage and those affected by them often don't know that they have them. However other people around them, often have to suffer.

Very similar to someone who is stupid - they don't know they're stupid, but everybody else around them suffers.

Jimmy spencer, was never the same player after a full season out

Spencer and Thorpe were never the same after coming back from their injuries - both big losses at the time.

Another one, also a forward, who was never the same after a long-term injury was Rob Matthews in the early 90s.

Disagree, I don't think Gillingham 'dealt' with us at all, and given normal circumstances we win that game 7/10 times. They took the points because we wasted 3 gilt-edged chances and every critical decision from the officials went in their favour. I'm more concerned about the points we dropped today than against Gillingham.

I agree.
Gillingham didn’t win that game, we (with help from the ref) lost it.

Michael O'Connor missed about a year during Nolan's tenure. He returned briefly at the end of the playoffs season, then signed for Lincoln as they stormed to promotion. We definitely missed him, but at the same time, perhaps we wouldn't have signed Yates on loan from Forest if he'd been fit.

John Bostock was another one, he wasn't the same player when he came back.

Iain McCulloch - say no more.

So player injuries that we can think of that negatively impacted a league campaign was probably what I was trying to imply, definitely some good shouts on the thread.


Definitely:
Matt Palmer
Jimmy Spencer
Gary Liddle
Don O’Riordan

Maybe:
Ady Thorpe?
Michael O’Connor ?
Rob Matthews ?
John Bostock?

Any others to add to the ‘definitely’ list, that had an impact on league form.
