You mean people become well read and learn about multiple topics…..

Wow, I have never heard of people doing that before.

If only mastermind had a general knowledge round to test for people’s knowledge on a wide range of topics not just their specialism…..

Oh wait they do…..

Clever/enquisitive people read about lots of different things to broaden their knowledge base and learn lots of subjects.

The average sports science graduate before choosing their specialism, will cover; anatomy and physiology, psychology, sociology, sports business, biomechanics, maths/statistics and some do pedagogy also. So in many cases they can be very read in a wide range of topics by the end of their second year.

It isn’t unheard of and is in fact quite common. Suprised you didn’t know people do that…..

There are some very clever and inspirational people on here with what they have achieved. It is something to admire not mock that they decided to better themselves and learn about a range of things

Or lots of people have had hamstring problems or in some case family members who do/did. So learned about it.

Don’t need to be a medical expert to understand hamstring injuries at all

The rehab and prehab for hamstring injuries isn’t that complex…… the issue is the fact the muscle is an absolute bugger and career long issue when it goes and sometimes it will go even if you do everything to the agreed and accepted medical/scientific level

Wolfslair, read that paper i posted, it's fascinating. Suggests a wider debate about hamstring injury.

I've sojourned to the phrontistery and come to the conclusion that aside those areas of expertise, it seems we also have specialists in the ability to infiltrate the training ground and medical areas at Compton with a cloak of invisibility, and eavesdrop conversations between staff members and player, because really none of us know how those conversations went down. I suspect the truth is, as always, somewhere in the middle.

One thing that is true is that our squad isn't numerically equipped for the rigours of a cup run and sustained assault on the European places without the risk of players breaking down with injuries. I can't say for certain, but I would imagine Neto would have played less football over a short period of time following his earlier injury had O'Neil had alternative options available to him that he was prepared to use, which is a club failing however you want to look it at it.

It's this reason why I always feel uneasy with fans giving our players abuse when they don't want to play shortly before a move elsewhere is completed (Boly, for example). Clubs are happy to milk players as they see fit, and by the same token players have every right to consider what is best for them.

It's hard to argue against such an eloquent post, but I'll do my best anyway.

The conversations take place between players and staff. Players and staff who have family and friends. Those family and friends of players and staff also have family and friends. Some people not directly involved in those conversations are told about said conversations... and these people also have family and friends.

Is it really so difficult to believe information does come out?... and that it's possible to know something without being directly told in the first place straight from the horses mouth?

Agree completely - hopefully my avatar bears testament to not taking everything that comes out of the club at face value :D

My only issue is that a lot of stuff in this thread isn't based on information that's been leaked, it's more guesswork and scaling the ladder of inference. I didn't read the thread fully so if there's some substance to conversations that have been leaked etc apologies!

Trouble is after last week, how much faith do we have in their ability to actually diagnose the problem?

So he will only miss the Villa away game?

And probably Burnley away, too.

Cunha hurt his hammy against Brentford - I expect that he will be on the bench for Coventry which will be the fifth week. I think their injuries are similar in severity.

Again, wild ass guess. Just putting a prediction out there. Let's see how stupid I look in a month's time. (don't say it..."how is that any different than usual?")

Perhaps, I'm being too optimistic because I really want to see our three best forwards on the pitch again before the season closes and I want to see Pedro in old gold for as long as I can...

Said straight after Newcastle, we shouldn’t have been risking him the week after coming off at half time with a tight hamstring.

Also said, having had chronic hamstring problems myself, it looked very much like a Grade 2 injury by the way he came off that I’d be very surprised if he was back any sooner than 4-5 weeks.

Awful news to cap off an awful day.

Wonder if his injuries will stop him leaving in the summer. Likely RAN goes for big money now, so we don't need the funds for reinvestment.

By now, I have the feeling no matter how much you "manage" him, he will always break down sooner or later. Yes, we could have rested him last week, why would that rule out him getting injured today?

I think him basing his game around fast bursts of pace and driving counter attacking runs will always mean he is going to spend significant time on the sidelines when you're playing in such an intense competition as the Premier League.

If he doesn’t play again this season then him pulling up wil be the last thing he ever does for us.

He will always struggle to complete a full season, such a shame. It’s terrible to say but if we get a very good offer we should take it.

We are stuffed for the rest of this season. Squad is just far too small and cant handle 3 or 4 injuries. The small squad gamble has backfired yet again.
