"“It’s been niggling at him for a couple of weeks now and we’ve tried to manage it and he’s always got through the pain barrier, but last week he actually came out of training and hence the reason he’s [having the surgery].
“We’ve tried to get him through and manage things but at the start of the week it was just too much for him."
For a club with such a bad record with injuries it's quite amazing that we've continued to select a player, use him, ( Played over 20 minutes last week ) then continue to let him train which then results in surgery and now at least 8-9 weeks before he'll be able to train again.
A player who was released by his last club in part due to his continual absences due to injury, |  |

This Club comes across now as complete bunch of amateurs operating in a professional sport. They Clearly don’t use evidenced based practice in the management of their elite athletes. Haven’t got a clue it seems of how prepare said athletes for the high level sport they are performing in , and therefore pick up countless, needless injuries , which they then don’t know how to manage or rehabilitate, hence countless re-injury rate , and extended periods out of the game.
You’d have thought with the level of money Evans has to pay in wages to his elite athletes, that he would have to foresight and just plain common sense to INVEST in the supporting infrastructure that is REQUIRED to service elite athletes NEEDS to ensure they can give him a return on his investment of running a PROFESSIONAL football Club.
Absolutely f lucking clueless, the lot of ‘em. |  |

Honestly, that sounds like the sort of thing a manager from the 70s or 80s might say. We have a squad of thousands - presumably to try and plug the gaps caused by our ineptitude off the field.
I have to say, every time I see photos of players signing in our panelled board room or working out in the wood lined gym, I think it’s emblematic of where the club is stuck - without the professionalism or talent, obviously. |  |

It could have been highlighted in another thread on here, there was an interesting article recently where Sir Alex Ferguson said they passed on signing Jordan Henderson from Sunderland because they had studied 'The way he ran', and concluded that he could be more prone to injury because of it, and therefore not a good return on investment if not available.
Although it may not necessarily turn out that way, just goes to show that we are light years away when premier league clubs will invest good time and money to study the way you run before you even get a foot through the door. |  | | |

Everything about the club is amateurish and has been for years. It’s used to losing. It’s the norm and all are ok with it, including the players. Look at Jimmy Bullard all those years ago. Once he’d got a contract it was fill your boot and stomach time. What club would be mad enough to sign characters like Chopra and Taylor or the injury prone sweepings that real clubs want rid of? Aaah yes Ipswich.
Look at injury records and fitness? Nah, let’s save a few bob. Operate a professional club with high standards and expectations? When’s the pub open. Proper medical care and 21c training? Nah, get the cones out for those that have bothered to turn up.
There’s no ambition or professionalism. Just an acceptance of second best. Players are here for pension top up, a few to start their careers, the journeymen dregs for the easiest time they can get away with. Mine’s a pint. |  | | |

We certainly will be doing this kind of thing, and employing sports scientists but you get what you pay for and we are in league 1 with an owner who won’t even reinvest transfer fees back into the playing squad |  |

Interesting isn’t it. A club can choose to engage with evidenced based practice e , or not. One takes time, effort, appropriately trained clinicians, coaches etc and continuing professional development, which cost money, or the other option is to still use a wet sponge , and do lots of running for your training, followed by a pie and a pint.
Wonder which camp ITFC are currently in? | |

but Man Utd can afford the luxury of doing that, they must have players agents on the phone daily trying to flog or offer them players just because they are Man Utd, so Jordan Henderson doesnt quite meet their standard, they can get Jordano Hendersano his near identical but can run properly replacement instead for a pittance just because they can.
Its a completely different situation to the one Town are in now, do you think that many agents are trying to get their players sent here thesedays ? a club in league 1 who havent had any success for over 20 years no, except for the ones who are prone to injury but trying to make a career in football, they can do a job for x many games of the season, and you take them on that basis knowing at some point they will break down.
we simply cant afford to buy the kind of quality players anymore that are going to be ever presents in a team, and its entirely seperate debate as to why which Im not going to get into here.
just accept for the amount of money we have to spend on recruiting players, we are getting players who are most likely only ever 80-90% fit and are always carrying a niggle, and you are basically just managing them through their injuries all the time for games till they cant play no more, hence squad rotation, hence lots of cover players, hence trying to get some nugget of an academy player to grow up quickly and bridge the gap. its really not half as complicated a situation as people try to make out here. | | | |
