M42Owl Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 Is Wilks’ injury still undiagnosed, other than “a limp”? If it is, then his absence could be one of these forever expanding short-terms. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tank_Owl2,0 Posted March 23 Share Posted March 23 Whilst I agree Wilks wasn’t great for the majority of his appearances I actually think he was starting to look promising when he got injured. Tbh though I’m hoping we don’t actually need him but have available in case we do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoylandOwl Posted March 23 Share Posted March 23 The thing is with Wilks is that I don’t reckon there’s much doubt he’s got the requisite ability. But he’s with us, in League 1, because he just doesn’t do it enough, or should I say on a relatively regular basis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair since I said that think he has improved and he has been missed from the bench. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tank_Owl2,0 Posted April 4 Share Posted April 4 Tbh I don’t think the next 2 games are the be all and end for getting Pato back but Shrewsbury and Exter will be tougher and potentially Derby who it looks like might need a result. btw Im not taking the next 2 games for granted but I just think those that are fit should be enough Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tylluan Posted April 5 Share Posted April 5 Reading beyond the word volume I don't think Pato is fully fit yet. It reads like he's cleared the rehabilitation stuff enough to be back in general training but they're still to assess how he comes through reactive movement, the part where your brain tells you to suddenly change direction and how your body copes with that. Anyone who's broken a leg will have gone through the same process. Cast comes off and it's ok to walk on, then you build to running, but how's your brain and nerves as you walk onto that 5-a-side pitch for the first time? Do you trust to your leg?

Ozzie Posted April 11 Share Posted April 11 Not a fan of "Pato" but he's got the shithouse bit about him that the rest of league 1 teams have and we seem to lack. Cant stand the "gamesmanship" (if ever a word was used wrongly this is it) that teams use against us and the weak refs fall for it. How many times do we see the oppo roll around and a foul gets given? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HoylandOwl Posted April 20 Share Posted April 20 On injuries. Here are DM’s reasons why we’ve had so many. "Like I've explained before, there's many aspects: the speed of the game, the volume, the travel, the pitch density. I'll even say the boots of the players! I look at the boots players wear now and they've just gone full circle from what I used to play in. "Even things like that can affect these injuries. You could break it down and spend fortunes and look at all these aspects but there's too many areas to cover. What you try and do is make the players as physically conditioned to withstand all this. Sometimes there are hidden things that you can't legislate for. Reece James, for example, is perfectly fit. It was just an impact injury and just one of those things."

Tylluan Posted April 20 Share Posted April 20 Boots are a big problem. Endorsements are very rare outside of PL level (unless you're a 'name') so players look and think Kane's, Haaland's, Messi's boots look good so I'll have a pair of those. Those players boots are custom made to fit their feet whereas they're semi off the shelf the lower down you go. Also Ronaldo's boots aren't made for regular use on all grass pitches with different densities. Density is also a major factor. Regardless of all the money spent, Middlewood does not mirror Hillsborough. I remember Carlos saying they trained on Hillsborough when they could as the training pitch didn't feel right. We need to move. If we ever got to the Premier League then we'd have to move as Middlewood wouldn't fit (and couldn't fit) PL criteria, especially around academy standard. If we'd have got promoted in 2016 then we wouldn't be at Middlewood now. Then there's the difference in pitch standards at L1 clubs. from all grass to various degrees of artificial stranding.
