Wouldn't surprise me if they sacked the medical staff that came in to improve things in the summer.
Last season there was a period without a full medical team after Adam Brett was sacked so there was at least some justification for all the injuries. This year is just worrying. Something surely isn't right in how we're looking after the players if so many are constantly getting injured.
I’d be staggered.

They've run out of trolleys in the corridors.
I believe the medical staff are currently injured .
Did Adam Brett get the sack, or just resign?
There was a lot of mystery about what happened to the medical department last year - but I can't remember hearing he'd been sacked? He'd been at Brighton over 9 years, and the injuries seemed to start after he'd gone? Although, to be fair, he's at Tottenham now and they are injury ravaged.
I know someone who worked with him then. He told me Brett was sacked.

Most Premier League clubs are complaining about injuries this season, and it's been like this for numerous seasons now.
I think the tolerance these days to 'play through injuries' has become zero, due to respect of medical science and focus on player longevity, which is understandable as they're a football clubs most valuable assets.
I don't think our medical team or any other clubs medical teams are to blame here.

The way it's going, I think the medical team must be WFH
Didn’t we hire some specialist who was going to stop this happening?
I know who I want fired on Monday morning.

The way things are going, the new fanzone will need to be commandeered and repurposed as a 'Nightingale' Hospital.
Perhaps Bloom will be on the phone to Eileen Drewery.

Not sure it helps that FH has our players running round like loons in training rather than working on technical skills which seem to have deteriorated since last season.

No Brighton supporter could ever know or bump into someone at the club is what I've heard on here.
Makes me wonder if it’s all a bit easy at Brighton to pull out with “injuries”. Wonder if we’ve got some “don’t fancy it today” players especially if not is all happy in the camp. Players are well known for pulling out of games when things are a bit rocky but willing to play through the pain barrier when the team is steamrolling everything in its path.

Just realised how annoyed he'll be he's had his account suspended for a month after the result today. If West Ham beat Chelsea on Monday it might be the greatest moderator move in years
Difficult balance………player wants to play, medical team advise against it. Player says they’re not fit, medical team say they are…………
We seem to be very cautious with anyone with a niggle. Maybe a safety first policy
Tony’s whole being is embedded in risk management - would be interesting to know how the medical team view this.
