Dropping Like Flies

[Guest]

So we signed 3 players during the transfer window... 2 of which were already injured and one who lasted a couple of days. We have, as far as I know, the following injury list:

 

Anderson

Rae

Uchechi

Pawlett

Clark

Milsom

Folly

Robertson

Osbourne

 

Have I missed anyone out?

 

I know we have a history of picking up injuries, but this is getting out of hand. It surely has something to do with our training routine/area we train on.

[tup]

Anderson - already injured on arrival.

Rae - '' ''

Uchechi - '' ''

Pawlett - Jamie Smith type, brittle.

Clark - injured vs QoS in game.

Milsom - '' '' hun '' ''.

Folly - non footballing disease

Robertson - injured vs Hibs in game.

Osbourne - possibly.

 

 

 

So the answer is no, it has nothing to do with training.

[King Street Loon]

Apparently Christina has a 10" tear in his hamstring and a broken nail.

Uchechi wasnt injured when signed, was injured in training. Only one likely to be fit tomorrow.

So other than Anderson and Rae, all injuries sustained at AFC. Add in the long history of mostly hamstring injuries our players develop, I'd say we are looking at something a bit more deep rooted.

Could just be bad luck, and I don't think Folly is injured in the footballing sense.

[Stoney]

Last year was similar seems to be a constant problem for us

[Jack_Glass]

I think when you shop for decent players on low wages, like we do, we'll always get players who carry an injury history risk. It gives the club a chance to develop youth so it's not always negative, although for consistency it's really frustrating.

 

I'd rather have our probs than Rangers :-D

God knows what goes on during training....the almost constant reporting of someone or other being out due to "an injury picked up during training"...is more than just coincidence.

 

I'd wager the techniques employed by Broon and Knox would have Stuart Hogg wincing at their antiquity.

 

Broon...nice old man that he is...Is probably not best versed with anything other than 60's regimes...which have long since been discovered to be harmful rather than beneficial to the modern player

We just suddenly started getting injuries like?

I can't remember a time when we had as many...particularly hamstring injuries...especially picked up during training...The wee Nigerian fellow got injured in his first training session!!

I remember one night at Parkhead we fielded an almost under 19s side.

Was that not the 2-1 Zdrilic and Prunty game?

[Guest]

And yet another player picks up a hamstring injury.

 

Seriously, there needs to be an inquest into why this is such a regular occurrence.

[Dandie1992]

The reasons are un-savory in nature beyond coincidence.

 

In worsening order:

 

1) They're warming up/down improperly (ie. trying to stretch cold muscles with static stretching, being too dynamic in cool down stretches.)

 

2) They're not warming up or down at all

 

3) Previous major hamstring tears leave the hamstrings compromised. Meaning that almost annual hamstring problems arise and in general the hamstring is never just dandy after it. In laymans terms.... injury prone

 

3) Poor physical condition and not a high enough level of fitness, flexibility and strength leading to weak muscles being exerted beyond their tolerance limit.

5 different surfaces he says - seems pretty obvious that is a huge problem!!

Christ sake. ^^

 

Have we ever had a period in the last 3 years when at least 4-6+ out of 24-30 (around 20-30%!) players in our first team squad weren't injured? There has been some instances of young boys who normally wouldn't be there filling the bench because of injuries.

 

Is the rest of the SPL similar in the amount of injuries at any one time?

 

Are we not doing something to address this? Splash out a bit on some specialists or give the coaches some kind of briefing to address these injuries?

 

As someone in reply to my earlier post said 'we play on 4-5 different surfaces... thats where all the injuries come from'. - Management Team.

 

Well... if you know that this is the reason we have a significant proportion out at any one time... Why the fuck nae do something about it?

 

i.e. stop playing on so many surfaces, get someone/some knowledge in to address the issue. You can't argue that having all these injuries is not affecting the team...

The Management team should be pushing The Board to release funds to get someone who has half a clue about training regimes in the 21st century...not relying on their own old National Service work-outs...which clearly are out-dated and it would seem damaging.

Is whats needed but will never happen. Management team wouldn't admit they were outdated.

 

"Eh, Stewarty boy, ehm... well me and Archie and the other coaches dinna really know anything about modern training regimes, can you give us some money so we can bring in some more people who actually know fit their doing? Cus us lot just get the boys injured eh?"

Do you have any inside knowledge of the training regimes that are currently being used at pittodrie or is this just wild brown bashing speculation being presented as fact?

 

EDIT: Oh and dandie 1992 have a look in the broon troosers thread in the entertainment section. Danke.

[RUL]

I hate when fans start guessing about stuff like this, who the fuck here really knows about training methods and whether or not AFC's current methods are outdated?

[fine-n-dandy]

Thought Pawlett was still injured?

if so, how comes has he been given an U21 call up?

[Redstar]

It's an educated guess though RUL...with Hughes now being hit by what looks like a hamstring...what else can it be??

May not be outdated but there's certainly something wrong & that cannot JUST be unlucky circumstances

The club have admitted themselves that SOMETHING'S not right somewhere & that they're trying to find the root cause of so many hamstring injuries.

It is still a guess though. You are trying to put it across as if you are in the know. For all we know Broon may be putting them through the most up to date and cutting edge training techniques known to man. It is this that is causing our bad run of injuries as all our players are used to running up and doon the broadhill and their bodies can't handle this sudden injection of scientific training after just running about like fuds for the rest of their career.

 

That is of course unconfirmed and unsubstantiated crap though.

[paddy]

Im assuming its because we have no proper training facilities, combined with the cold weather, leads to all these injuries. Its pathetic for a team like aberdeen not to have a decent dedicated training complex.

 

Are we not getting something with Cove Rangers soon?

I thought that had been knocked back? We may be able to buy murray park off of the other Rangers though for a good price in not very long!

I would have thought the inclusion of a statement like "relying on their own old National Service work-outs"...would have clearly put any thoughts that I was trying to pass off my opinion as fact to bed...
