Rauls headband

[Aurum Lupus]

Don't blame him for taking it off and suspect it won't be seen again. It ruins his understanding of heading angles.

I appreciate the head isn't a foot, but if you stuck a big sponge on a strikers foot he'd miss too!

Having a keeper with head gear on is fine, he's not meant to head it. Having a striker with it on is ludicrous!

If it’s not seen again and that’s against medical advice then Wolves need ****ing. They have a duty of care to protect there players. If he can’t play with it and the medical advice is he should wear it Wolves can’t play him simple as that.

'Rauls headband' surely a username waiting to be registered

They need to create one that doesn't cover his forehead so he can still head the ball whilst it protects the sides where the injury occured, I firmly believe he would have scored a header by now if he didn't have it going across his forehead

He'd have also scored a header if Adamas crosses weren't 6 foot above his head

Getting Adama a headband won't fix that though

He'd have scored two at least if he wasn't gawping at the penalty spot and actually gambled on the back post.

Yes, he nust feel it's affecting his heading. However, can't blame the headband for him looking a yard slower than before the injury, I blame being too dependent on a single striker that has to play if he's standing, basically,

 

[Sedgers]

I wouldn't wear the ****ing thing either.

 

[Nige100]

I wouldn't wear the ****ing thing either.

I probably wouldn’t want to either but that’s not the point. The point is if medically the advice is he should then he can’t not.

Adama put one on his head that was easier to score than miss

6 foot?

60,000 feet more like. One of those ****ers came down frozen in ice.

Actually he can. You just take it off. Then the club can work it out.

 

[Nige100]

Then the club must take him off or if he refuses to wear it not play him. Can’t believe such a blaze attitude to someone’s health for the sake of a better chance of scoring. **** that.

Maybe Raul needs a 60,000 foot headband

Actually I think you are on to something here....let's make his headband 6foot tall so he is overall 12ft and can reach traores crosses

 

[Superted]

I suspect it may be a condition of his insurance now which may mean he would be uninsured should anything happen to him while he was playing without it.

Needs it's own Instagram page and Go Pro.

 

[I'm the Wanderer]

I noticed him fussing with it throughout the match. Probably slips around with his sweat.

 

[Jefe]

I'd like to see a headband that covers the injured area but leaves the forehead unobstructed, maybe something that velcros under the chin?

 

[Manic88]

Getting Adama a headband won't fix that though

Adama doesn’t need a headband, there’s only fresh air in there to protect

 

[Forza Wolves]

I mentioned this last week, wondering if it was affecting him psychologically. He obviously doesn't like it. Regarding the fractured skull, surely if it's healed then it should be safe to carry on as before? Don Goodman didn't wear a head band after coming back from his skull fracture

I didn't mind the miss tbh.
But was that why he messed up the rabona too?
And second to everything?
You can dress it up how you want, he's got to work harder than he did today. He was a defenders dream.

 

[Wall heath Wanderer]

What we need to do is put a magnet in the match day balls and a remote controlled electromagnet in his head band.
Then we put a spotter on the bench whose job it is to turn the head and magnet on whenever an Adama cross is going high/wide/wayward.

goals galore.

Rauls future at the top level is in question I'm afraid.

Not fickle at all. Just feel for the bloke after what happened. Hope that is ok with you?

 

[Boss Hogg]

It’s the 50pence pieces he has taped underneath that’s the problem.

Advice isn't the same as instruction. If he's advised to wear one, he can take it off

Some potentially horrible insurance implications too....

Volenti non fit injura

Some people on here really need to read about the legal concept of "duty of care" which all employers have.

 

[Deleted member drgr12429]

He's a goalscorer, and when they don't score they look for reasons. Psychologically Raul will think it's the headband, and it might be part of it. A guard which was at the side and top would be better than what he is using now imo.
We need to stick with him as he will come good again. Better to address the failings of all the other people in the team who can't score either.

 

[Oldgold Wolfcub]

Yes where is Podence when you need him.

It’s fine. Just show a lot of disrespect imo

 

[Burton Wolf]

Not at all. In your opinion fine. Just saying it as I see it. Disrespect, never.

 

[KBWWFC]

But surely the club have complied with their duty of care by providing him with the appropriate safeguards to do his job.

If he removes the safeguards and willingly places himself in harm's way, knowing full well the risks that entail, then the club would be able to argue against the tort on the basis of volenti non fit injura.

 

[Brockmoorwolf]

Ffs if Adama is tearing down the wing me as a player would be targeting the back post it's not rocket science.

I would be targeting the corner flag personally

Yes but the club didn’t take his head band off, he did.

Im not condoning him playing without one, I wince watching him going for headers as it is even whilst wearing it but if he forgoes it and that invalidates the insurance it’s his loss not the clubs, surely?

I’d rather a solution is found that keeps him safe and happy, I just want to make that absolutely clear, but the idea about insurance being an issue isn’t as cut and dry as that is it as the insurance is there to cover him, if he chooses to forgo that cover it’s at his own risk surely?
