    When youth players who aren't anywhere near good enough have to be drafted in, like during the Bowyer season when James Vennings and Ben Dempsey started getting game time

    I think Fullah is injured as well?
  • Worryingly, quite a few of these injuries have happened in training!

    Can I be the first to say - What are the medical team doing?

    Can I be the first to ask, what was the point of signing Burke given his injuries history? Of course 🤔…….. he played for Luton

    In fairness to the medical team, Edwards impact injury, Kelman impact injury, Collins looks ACL, Mannion is unclear but a shoulder injury probably is impact. Pretty sure Ramsay was impact. No one on planet earth keeps Burke fit. 

    So what Koumetio and Godden are our only muscular injuries and they’ve both had injury concerns in the past. 

    It’s not we’re getting players going down holding their calf every week a lot of our injuries are very much out of the medical teams control

    Ohh I know. It was a poor attempt at humour in anticipating the usual questions whenever we get a few injuries. Second on the list "its the pitches at the training ground"

    Yeah, we need to include Hardiness as a key attribute in all fucking future signings, I've had enough of this

    Did we ever replace Dr Will Abbott?
    Seems we had a much better injury record when he was running the medical side.

    Though there is an argument that with Collins his adapting to the intensity of the championship hasnt been handled well on the sports science front and that twice he has carried on with an injury when he should have come off.

    It's crystal clear he quit because his advice was being ignored or outright rejected imo

    Like, I think Conor Coventry is a good example. If it's up to Abbott, he doesn't play last winter at all

    I will say that people with bad knee injuries quite often play through for a bit in football causing more damage, that isn’t a uniquely CAFC thing

    And if Nathan Jones has a serious flaw, it's his belief and faith in players who can still physically move, putting in every effort to represent the club, extracting everything from themselves rather than quitting. Sometimes you have to quit

    The double mishandling of Sichenje has honestly made me so angry, it's some of the worst player management I've ever seen

    It would be nice to have a sticky locked thread that lists injured players, their injury, and anticipated return date. That would be quality. 

    The physioroom website used to do this when we were i. The prem.

    wasnt it also mentioned that Godden was mis diagnosed which led to a much longer lay off ? actually might have been Kelman

    Well that for starters. Of course Steve Brown often points out that the player himself insists on trying to play on. But anyone who watched Sichenje’s two incidents would have to conclude that this wasnt the case here. Edwards case may have been more the player’s  insistence.

    Could you possibly update the list to include the nature of the injury and suspected time out?

    Latest from NJ via Rich Cawley:

    “Collins is worse than Billy. Billy isn’t bad. That was precautionary, we brought him off. Whereas we will have news on Collins in the coming days, but it is not a good one,” said the Charlton boss.

    Which international break? The September one or the Easter one next year?

    NJ has described Godden's injury as "self inflicted" and from "doing extra". Didn't sound happy about it

    Also says that Chalobah was a sore thigh and they've taken him off as a precaution.
    Reckon he'll miss Wednesday (with Bindon in the squad instead if he signs), but hopefully be back next Saturday
