Injuries

[Mem]

Injuries are crippling us. Looks like Madsen could be out for a period. Saw him after the game, limping - he said ‘not good’ when I asked him how he was. This makes the decision to loan out Field even more questionable as Morgan not good enough and Varane out for at least 2 more weeks.

Maybe it’s time for a shift of formation to 5 4 1 given we have better defensive options with Mbengue back and dare I say it JCS fit and available.

Assuming no Madsen I’d like to see this team v Hull and or Southampton away.

Hamer - I just don’t rate Walsh

Mbengue
Dunne
Edwards
JCS
RND

Hayden
Smyth
Chair - assuming he’s fit or Vale if not
Morgan

Kone - although he was also limping at the end

Subs

Walsh
Esq
Adamson
Cook
Saito
Bennie
Vale/Chair
Kolli
Obikwu (if fit if not no idea)

I'm intrigued to see how the club is going to explain our horrendous injury record this season. Last year they sugar coated it by incorporating youth and women's teams.
There is no hiding away from the fact that our injury record is simply inexcusable!

Is it the pitch? Is it bad medical staff? Is it recruitment of injury prone players? Who knows?

We do seem to have a lot of players who are either young, small or inexperienced by just stepping up a level. Combined, they may not be as robust as seasoned pros around the 5'10" mark......?????

If the team is in development and the passing isnt as accurate as it should be, or there's some panic in our play, then we're more likely to be chasing the game and going into 50/50s......?????

Good players will always find space and look as if they're strolling through games.

I wonder if that guy we signed as emergency cover for Burrell's injury absence will end up being out injured longer than Burrell..... fact he got injured in training 5 mins after signing was quite remarkable but if he then outstayed Rumarn in the sick bay that would be the most QPR thing to happen this season.

Are they injured or ”injured”? Stephans ”we have to be careful” - are the players using that because he’s soft? Excuses all around? Why so many setbacks regarding injuries and not back according to schedule?

Makes you wonder whether they're being under trained. All this sports science stuff....are these guys ever beasted in pre-season? All I've every seen is light jogging......

As far a chair is concerned he had a major back injury and a knee issue before he signed hus contract extension. I bet he couldnt sign it quick enough from a physical perspective. They do tend to say that back issues tend to lead to hamstring issues. His contract extension did seem a bit of a gamble to me.
