All clubs go through the same thing every season, so lets not feel sorry for ourselves. That's why squads are allowed 25 players. The question is whether we are asking the players to do too much every day in training because they are not machines.

Agree mate.

Yep. There were points in a season where under Allardyce we barely would train. Very light stuff at times. And they had the best sports science team in the country.

All this modern management of having to do all this hard running contact training I don’t get. Clearly there are times you need to do it but a lot of time during a season surely it’s just tactical and light touch stuff?

Liam wasn't a machine, but a conveyancer would have described him as a fixture but a fitting.

I see the club are launching a review into their injury issues. To see what if anything they can do to prevent injuries.

A review is good. But there is a problem. It is being conducted by the same people who are planning our training and dealing with our sports science. To do this we really need to commission some outside expertise. I know from experience that an internal review carried out by the people whose practice it is reviewing isn’t going to necessarily reveal the right answers.

Aye - the Ismay report into Post Office Horizon - everything's wonderful.

Aye - the Ismay report into Post Office Horizon - everything's wonderful.

And just to demonstrate how ace Horizon is. Member of staff just did the end of day reconciliation. £100 down. Last minute customer transaction done on the system. Re-did reconciliation with no other input and we're now £100 up

Wonder what the odds are that the medical department conclude they are all under paid and need a pay rise to deal with all the injuries are!

Mrs Worthy would assert this to be a fair reflection...maybe with a small "T"

Is she used to a small one then?

Mrs Twin would likely inform that I am exceptionally talented in that department

Damocletian sword update: Schon, Santos and Matete all on four (EFL) yellow cards and thus one away from suspension until the bookings amnesty after 19 games (likely to be mid-December).

Santos would be a big miss, as Saturday showed, but Matete perhaps even more so just in terms of numbers, at least until Demps/Tomo return.

How can Matete be on 4 already?

Someone had to pick up Thomo’s slack.

More part of my critique of modern football nonsense. Can’t tackle these days without a card being flashed about.

Good news everyone!
Gethin Jones was back in action for the B-team today.


Bad news, they lost 5-2. Not sure how involved Geth was in those, nor does it matter. Just good to have people back from injury.

[Dave Sutton's barnet]

More returnees incoming.
https://www.theboltonnews.co.uk/sport/2 ... team-news/

AT STOCKPORT
• Nathan Baxter "fit to start, so we have a decision to make there" (Evatt)
• Gethin Jones and Jordei Osei-Tutu "more likely to impact from the bench at this point"

AFTER THE BREAK
• "post-break we will have George Thomason back, Carlos Mendes Gomes back and Eoin Toal and Chris Forino at late-stage rehab"

I see the Rotherham fixture set for this Saturday has been rearranged for the 21st January. Both ourselves and Rotherham were knocked out of the FA cup leaving the 30th November an available date for the fixture.

Maybe the reasoning behind this date is to make it easier for fans to plan, but in terms of making it more accessible, surely a 3pm kick off would benefit us in November rather than a winter month.

Perhaps we're hoping we'll be able to improve between now and January.

Either way, this doesn't seem sensible to stockpile fixtures later in the season when we've got a free Saturday ready to go.
