It’s injury prone not hamstring prone or ankle prone etc it’s a players ability to be available for games, different injuries unless they’re proper skeletal or contact which is down to others not himself doesn’t change that.RonnieMoore said:Think Burke a very good player people call in injury prone but actually his injuries are all different .. that’s unlucky not injury prone … seen vids of him working really hard in the gym and outside on the grass looks pretty fit but clearly building up strength…Working really hard, looking fit and building strength unfortunately isn’t enough to stop it3 -
The guy it's huge...
Everywhere but his spaghetti legs. Far too skinny to support someone that size in the physical game of football.0 -
Of course he is injury prone.RonnieMoore said:Think Burke a very good player people call in injury prone but actually his injuries are all different .. that’s unlucky not injury prone … seen vids of him working really hard in the gym and outside on the grass looks pretty fit but clearly building up strength…
Over 700 days out injured in the past 8 seasons, so that's probably closer to 800 days now if we count this season.
He might well be a good player but this is pretty meaningless if he is never fit. As the saying goes 'the best ability is availability'. He is a waste of a salary.

To defend him slightly I think if he was played as the middle of the 3 centre backs, there would be less emphasis on him having to get forward and back, and from side to side. Less movement = less strain on his hamstrings.Chris_from_Sidcup said:

Am I advocating him replacing Jones? No. No. No. No. No...0 -
I’ve heard that he’ll be fit for the first team on 3rd May3

Which year?ShootersHillGuru said:I’ve heard that he’ll be fit for the first team on 3rd May2 -
This year0

He’ll get paid for a few more months of doing nothing in any caseShootersHillGuru said:This year0 -
I’m all for the manager leading on transfers but this transfer should never have been allowed to happen .2

I see what you did there.ShootersHillGuru said:I’ve heard that he’ll be fit for the first team on 3rd May0 -

2 year deal, apparently little to no fee would be interested to know his wages but it’s not like we’ve spent millions on him it was always a gamble but it wasn’t a massive gamblewmcf123 said:I’m all for the manager leading on transfers but this transfer should never have been allowed to happen .1 -
I'd forgotten all about him; missing presumed sold.0

Will he manage to get through the pre match warm up uninjured?0

Jones was struggling after about 10 mins today. I’m not sure he was really fit to start. Of course being superhuman he struggles on but our defence looked far less solid today than usual and he was nowhere near 100% imo. It’s a real problem then when we only have dear old left-footed Macca and “emergency” Burke on the bench. Surely Gough would have been a more obvious option?2

I agree. I think Jones has been playing while not 100%. If Collins was fit or Burke properly fit then he would have had a rest in recent weeks.Weegie Addick said:Jones was struggling after about 10 mins today. I’m not sure he was really fit to start.

We look weak in the air at set pieces and in general at present. We missed Clarkes height….. I would give Burke a go at Sheff Weds to try and alleviate the pressure on Jones having to win every ball in the air - especially considering Bell isn’t exactly aerially dominant0

Its also a problem that his stated goal is to play in every game. I love the bloke but what chance do the medical team have in telling him its best to rest when he's hellbent on always playing?Weegie Addick said:Jones was struggling after about 10 mins today.

Not about starting, just playing. Of course its down to the manager but if you had Lloyd Jones telling you he was sit to play would you leave him out?mendonca said:

So the Manager, physio and sports science team can all be swayed by somebody's will to play?fenaddick said:

Yes . That’s what the manager is paid to do .fenaddick said:

Quite clearly yes, otherwise we wouldn’t have played with a walking wounded so much. I’m not really criticising Lloyd here (although I think it’s a silly goal) but everyone else for enabling him and not building a squad strong enough to cover his absence._uptheaddicks said:

What seemed to be a minor issue Godden played through has ruined his whole season. I really don’t want that to happen with Jones too3 -
I think he’s playing “walking wounded” as even a half fit Lloyd Jones is better than the alternative. I think it’s far more likely to be that than some nonsense about wanting to play in every match.fenaddick said:

Makes the Reece Burke signing all the more questionable1

Stop bottling it NJ. Play Keenan Gough in that RCB role rather. He's not let us down in any game.3

Keenan Gough far better, more resilient and more reliable than Burke, as is Sichenje._uptheaddicks said:Stop bottling it NJ. Play Keenan Gough in that RCB role rather. He's not let us down in any game.1 -
I wouldn't say Burke looked rusty, but I thought he was gonna seize up.2
