I watched a programme the other night about Nottingham Forest European Cup win in 1978 & one of the players said that a lot of them played around 70 games that season, in an era where there was only 1 sub allowed - and the state of the pitches were awful as well. I do wonder if players fitness regimes nowdays are not what is needed for a footballer - maybe for an athlete but not for a contact sport.

Boots made out of paper dont help
Whats crazy as well is the fact that many of these players appeared 100s of times, its not like they had short careers

Our 91/92 squad that just missed the playoffs was pretty tiny, but then in those days the majority of players would play nearly every game

It's a bit of a catch 22 really the pace of the game is that much quicker and the players are far more athletic that's for sure. The human body however has its limits and when it is pushed too far it will break down. There is now a very fine dividing line between being super fit and picking up niggling injuries. Furthermore the 'slippers' masquerading as boots the plyers wear these days offer very little protection to the foot. Metatarsal injuries were never heard of back in the day.

My friend works for Sky and they are at the training ground today filming something about the use of drones to analyse training. He mentioned Solly got injured, hopefully it's nothing serious.

A drone landed on his head
No I think you misunderstood
It was a piece about Karl Robinson and the use of those who just drone on and on!!

Naps is alright, he's made a public apology and it's all water under the Golden Gate bridge now

I reckon if it's gonna land on anyone's head it would be Reeves, plenty to aim at !!
I hope Jacko has been keeping his boots clean, think we'll see him (even if not a starter) over Christmas. KR did joke he still has a few weeks left in him.....
Now, Bauer, Pearce, Kashi, Forster-Caskey, Fosu, Clarke, Holmes are all injured. Novak left at the end of August. Solly's knee is still being managed. Dasilva's competition has been out for practically a year.
What other club, especially in League One, is going to have success when essentially the team you put out on the first day of the season, is completely different to the team you put out just before Christmas?!

Knee injuries did increase with the 2g pitches but we're actually talking about 3g pitches (leading to some people incorrectly dubbing them 4g)
Do think there could be someone "injured" who'll suddenly appear on the team sheet
Whats crazy as well is the fact that many of these players appeared 100s of times, its not like they had short careers
Solly Lennon Sarr Dasilva
Konsa Jackson
Marshall Aribo Reeves
Magennis
Phillips, Barnes, Dijksteel, Lapslie, Best, Dodoo, Ahearne-Grant
