Maybe, just maybe, signing players with horrendous injury records doesn't help either. Most of my Subbuteo squad managed to play through missing legs, arms and heads! Players today, wimps the lot of 'em.

Maybe, just maybe, signing players with horrendous injury records doesn't help either. Good point, especially if there at the age where it takes longer to recover. Due to the Barton situation, I am one of the ones who have stuck to my guns and not renewed my ST,( I told Wael back in Feb, so nothing to do with relegation) but from comments on here & listening to match day commentary, it seems fitness in general is not what Barton promised it would be. It could be that Covid has interrupted our pre season more than other clubs, it could be injury prone signings as you suggest, but I also wonder how much does living away from families effect this. Just picking up from Sam Finlay’s interview with 20man between the Exeter and Barrow games, he said he missed the Barrow v Villa game as he was travelling up to Liverpool, I assume the interview was taking place on the Thurs /Friday back Bristol. There was obviously training session/s missed, if there are others travelling up north to see their family when we have no midweek games, then that’s a lot of hours sat in a car, when, especially after a 4-1 defeat, time might have been better spent not only fitness training but tactic & gelling with other players, as this was sighted as a reason for poor results at the time. Don’t get me wrong, of course players need to see family, but I wonder if having a few players with their family based up north, there is an excessive amount of time sat in the car rather than on the training pitch? Or do players not train everyday now?

But in the main you're absolutely correct.

L Clarke trained with us for 3 weeks without any issues, and Rodman's injury sounds a freak injury the fitness of footballer's could receive.

Everything has been going wrong with the club over the past two or three seasons. A series of inept managers, injury-prone players, crocks, players in their mid-thirties and beyond. An owner who has bailed out the club financially, but appears to have no idea of running Rovers. Must say Wael and the board are the problems of real concern. I just cannot see progress being made within the club. The other half of Bristol must be laughing their heads off. UTG

Nicholson, Davies, Little and many many many others back up what I'm saying.

Perhaps our medical team need to get crystal balls then so they can see the future as not sure any of those players had been out injured for any length of time in the 12 months before we signed them.

Well you couldn't be more wrong. Suggest you do some research before spouting nonsense.

Players today, wimps the lot of 'em. Subbuteo! What an absolute football beaut of a game that was. Got in to it around 89-90 and painted my own Rovers side. Steve Yates stripey white socks with the sock tape , Boris’s ginger hair , Billy oceans Afro ( blueback on his head painted black )Jocks moustache I painted a bit of blood on his boots too. Unstoppable that side was.

Has anyone considered that they might be faking it? Maybe there are reasons the players are scared to turn up for work for the last few years? And I don’t think it’s down by modern boots, otherwise all the other teams would have 10 injuries.

Ignoring L Clarke, who always seemed a poor signing, and any player presently match fit, then who are all these players JB signed in the summer with a history of injury problems in the previous 12 months before they signed? All the ones I can think were playing regularly last season.

All the ones I can think were playing regularly last season. Who said anything about JB? Honestly Topper, what is it with your complete refusal to read and engage your brain? Davies and Little (I.e the players I listed) - were not even bought in by JB ffs, But both have a history of injuries. And they are 2 examples among many. You do this ALL the time. You post some complete bulls*t, get pulled up on it, but then completely change the argument, making up posts as you do so, and then argue against those made up posts. It's utterly bizarre.

According to Rodman his current foot injury occurred in training when he took a powerful half volley and the stud of the opposing Player pierced his slipper and broke a bone. He called it a freak injury but the footwear failed to give adequate protection which otherwise could have lessened the injury.

So none of JB's signings have an history of injuries, so it must be just bad luck then, thanks for confirming.

Well nobody is saying it's just JB, so you've simply confirmed your own made up question. And no - once again - that isn't what I said. I listed some players ROVERS have signed that have a history of injuries. I haven't bought Barton into it one way or the other. Instead of pretending you've somehow been proven right, you should be apologising for once again proving your are completely incapable of even reading the post before responding to it. No wonder you've got close to 1 million posts.
