It certainly seems to be training related doggy. Players do a full 90 minutes one game and they're out for the next, supposedly through injury. Although I did notice Oulare go down right at the end last night with what looked like a bad foot.
Is it our training methods or just bad luck?
We’ve got loads of injuries but it’s not as if they come from being injured during a game nearly all have come from the training ground so have we a major problem in the way we prepare players?

I don’t believe it’s anything to do with training.
Take note of the clubs that are struggling and then look at the injury list.
Prime example has been Sheffield Wednesday in the previous 2 seasons.
IMO it’s because they don’t want to play.
An indication that there is trouble in the camp.
More a mental thing than physical problems.
On the flip side of this - take note of how few are on the injured list if a club gets to the FA Cup semi final or final.
I watched every Barnsley match last season and some of those games were equivalent to all out war.
The players putting an immense amount of effort in to get a win over the line.
This season games have been at a relatively slower pace.
Last season virtually no injuries.
This season the injury room is full.
It’s revealing.
May be old fashioned of me but i put alot of injuries down to the plastic pitchs they train on.....
Theres a lot to be said for Val and the impressive relationship he had with the squad last season. Sure its easy to do when the team are regularly scoring and winning and going for promotion etc, but its obvious he had them up for it and always wanting to give 100% effort.
Like most fans are now pointing out and questioning, injuries surprisingly don't seem to happen when a season is going well like that.
