| Permenant Injury Crisis 08:35 - Oct 4 with 1004 views | Harlestonblue |
Our injury crisis is permenant, it seems. We have been dogged by serious injuries for the last 3 seasons or more.
Every game there is another casualty and yesterday there were 2. Indeed we were down to 10 men for a long spell. It's quite common for the injured players roster to be in double figures. Even after 6 months rest and recuperation due to the virus some have not even returned fit and healthy. This is so frustrating and depressing for the fans and it seems as if this situation is unique to our club. .
Marcus Evans needs to review and overhaul the sports science, conditioning and physio departments up at Playford Road because they seem incapable of doing a decent job. |  | | |  |

I’ve been raising this issue on here and other forums for well over three years now . There’s us something seriously wrong at ITFC regarding the injuries we sustain. I know the Club have looked into this , but it’s still not right .
It’s chicken and egg really . Is it intrinsic or extrinsic factors causing the rate, frequency , severity of injuries at this Club .
1) Do we bring in “ damaged goods “( Huws, Webster, Didsy, Chopra ). To name but a few historically?
2) Are the strengthening / conditioning methods correct , specific, tailored sufficiently?
3) Is the equipment ( pitches, indoor surfaces, kit ) correct ?
4) is the medical / rehabilitation evidence based , up to date , monitored, changed , of in keeping with what the BEST Clubs currently offer their players ? If not , why not ? Is it cost? Of that we don’t actually KNOW what the current “ best practice “ is?
All these questions need to be reviewed again .
Why is it our players when injured take longer than the average rehab times to recover ? Why does a player returning from one injury ALWAYS gets injured again ?
Our players are very well paid , expensive assets which Evans is paying through the nose for , yet these players rarely “ pay back “ this Club by performances in the pitch . SOMETHING has got to change ! |  |

I'd suggest the first thing to investigate would be whether we actually are any more injury prone than average. It seems to be a standard assumption on here but I've never seen it backed up with any comparative evidence. |  |

It's been going on longer than. Our treatment, recovery and rehab programmes look from the outside like they're seriously lacking. You've only got to look at how David Mcgoldrick and Adam Webster have fared since leaving. |  |

I think to an extent, our budgets from Jewell onwards have meant that we've either brought in 'talented but fragile'(Webster, Didsy, Huws, possibly Adeyemi) or 'solid but limited'(pretty much everyone else) but the amount of times we've seen the likes of Huws, Bishop, McGoldrick and now Norwood break down quickly after injury makes me question what it is we're doing and have been doing for some time.
Injuries happen, it's part of the game, but any long-term looking injury basically has me seeing the dark clouds gather over that player's career. | |

I don't think we are. I think the issue is what we are doing *with* those injuries. The frequency of breakdown post-injury makes me suspect that more Evans corner cutting is occurring. | |

personal opinion is that the overriding factor for all of this is MONEY.
We bring in cheap/free damaged goods, we cant fix them permanently, we cant fix them quickly. All because budget dictates. |  |

I suggest you have a drink with Teddy Bishop's dad in the plough in duxford. You might be surprised with Town's rather unusual approach to injuries.... and then not surprised at the result of this policy. | |

From a purely logical point of view everything else behind the scenes has had to absorb cuts so the medical/sports science set up has probably had to do so as well.
If that really is the problem it’s incredibly short sighted by Evans but wouldn’t be a surprise, sadly. |  | | |

Evans is basically a Tory government of an owner. Initially chucks money at flash harries who come in promising the earth but are less effective than the low-cost predecessor. When he does stumble on something that works, he cuts and cuts and cuts. Finally, he takes us out of the EU/Champonship which proves evens more disatrous for his country/club but rather than address root causes and failing ministers/managers, he doubles down on them. | |

oh blimey , EINTR don't leave there please!! I KNOW somethings not right at this club re injuries , but just cant pin it down. PM if you want. I'm in the clinical trade as they say , and I'm really suspicious of what's going on ...or not as the case may be . | |

Don’t know about his family but Teddy lives in one of the flats on a fairly nice housing estate called Ninewells - In south Cambridge so not too far from Duxford. | |
