Sparky made a great deal before the season started about the fitness programmes he endorses that does not peak at the start of the season. It is very much a slow build up so that the players are at their strongest later in the season.
Is their any significance in the fact that of the 3 players injured so far (Ireland, Cameron and Odemwinge) 2 of them missed the pre season.
This says to me that the way we go now, as opposed to the Pulis 'boot camp' style, is the correct way forward. Thoughts? I am not having a go a TP only using it as an example of the opposite way to how we do things now.

Odemwingie was unfortunate in landing awkwardly and you can't legislate for that. I'm not sure how Ireland got his knock but a rib injury doesn't suggest to me it came about due to poor preparation in pre season. Not matter what you do over the summer months you're always going to get players picking up knocks, it goes with the territory. |

I think that's what I am saying mate we don't seem to be picking up the pull and strain type injuries. Certainly Cam and Odddy were hard luck but I do think as a squad they seem to be at a good stage of fitness and avoiding injury. The work rate at Citeh was phenomenal. |

If he's done ACL it's a pretty uncontrollable injury isn't it? They tend to go with a dodgy landing/twisting the way you're not meant to.
Geoff's is a weird one too, side strains are more associated with fast bowlers.

I can't think of one such injury under Pulis. Those we lost to injury were all serious "unpreventable" injuries like Mama's knee, Higgy's achilles, Ric's achilles and shoulder etc. Only Matty picked up a serious muscle injury (Hamstring v Wolves) that plagued him for any length of time. Its no surprise Hughes, to date, has a similar record. The only thing that hasn't changed since Pulis is the medical team. |

To suggest it's better than Pulis's method is a bit harsh. We were very lucky with injuries )or very well prepared) in our first seasons in the Prem. Even previously injury prone players like Huth, Fuller etc were pretty injury free. All the more ironic we rejected Ba!
Plus I used to like reading about them all slogging up an Alp!

It's a similarish area. Strange injury none the less. |

Him and Muniesa did the same thing in the warm up over stretching, both thought they could run it off, Muniesa's did but Geoff's tightened up |
