Drew 1-1 with Tranmere in a friendly today.

Interesting. Reading the match report, 2 different teams each half and no Lolos, Forrester, Dan, Southwood or Sheehan (rested?) to be seen in the lineups. McAtee the goal scorer.

Trialist keeper in the second half too.

Before we get too excited, Dalby didn’t feature either.

Indeed. Lineups, in questionable order, from the official site (no external journos were present):
First half: Hutchinson, Osei-Tutu, Toal, Inwood, Taylor, Mendes Gomes, Simons, Sharples-Ahmed, Warren, McAtee, Lawrence
Second half: Trialist, Schön, Dacres-Cogley, Forino, Johnston, Conway, Morley (sub: Oliver Smith), Thomason, Randall, Rice, Abimbola

Dalby, TSL, Gayle, Amario we all know are new and will be with us this season and did not play. I was more curious about who are here from last season, not reported injured like Dempsey and Ade, and did not make the team sheet. This leads to transfer speculation about them leaving.

Dempsey and Vic are both injured.

I take it Dalby is injured already then…

[Bertie Wooster]

And Forrester....why do we as a club appear to get more injuries than most others

Dalby (and Forrester) both with hamstring injuries days into pre season.

I doubt we do generally. You just aren’t following other clubs injury lists.

We’ve had a few years of signing players with bad injury records so that probably does tilt things against us and I guess mean certain players more likely to be out.

[Bertie Wooster]

Dalby has never had a hamstring injury in his career, a couple of days into pre season with us and bang.

I know it can happen anytime, but questions need to be asked about the BWFC training methods and intensity for 2 x players to get hamstring injuries a couple of days into pre season - surely they should be eased back not straight into high intensity training ?

You’re already querying Schuey’s training methods?

I said BWFC training methods not SS specifically, I'm sure its not all on SS he will have fitness staff who oversee the high intensity stuff.

26 days to kick-off - hope it's not too serious.

I think it's a reasonable question, mate. This has been going on for a while with new signings and I agree that Schumacher unlikely to be creating individual training plans. Given the Dalby amongst the first to be recruited under Schumacher, he might not have twigged it's been a long term problem (not talking about people pulling hammy's in a match etc.). The number we lose to hammy within the first week or so of signing is a problem for us.
