[Albion] Injury Situation

[Uh_huh_him]

Troy deeney , pukki , Chris wood.

I'm sure we won't sign two either. But it's just not good enough. We started with five strikers last season. Why has our squad suddenly been cut down so much without reinforcements?

I think it's because we made a £39m loss in 18/19.
We have been buying players and not selling any for 5 seasons, this and our increased wage bill has caught up with us,
Andone, Locadia and Knockaert were loaned out with a view to sell, to reduce the financial pressure.

Covid has ****ed this plan badly and I really can't see us bringing in 2 top end strikers on good money this season.

Loving how people on here have already diagnosed and assessed the injuries, required recovery time and when they’ll be playing again, whereas Potter says he doesn’t know yet.

In fairness, Lallana’s injury record was as much talked about in the national press and by pundits as his transfer. It’s hardly filled me with confidence he’s an astute signing when he didn’t even make half time in the opener. Fans are naturally concerned, despite the optimists putting a spin on things. Could well be another Kitson signing.

White has real pace, he dug both Dunk and Webster out a couple of times when they got a little caught on the turn. He reads the game very well. Impressive first PL start for him.

He does, and it was most in evidence in catching up with Werner to block his shot which caused his injury.

And dunk dug him out a few times when he jumped into tackles/interceptions and got caught out and beaten. It is what good defensive combinations do. All three worked well together.

Like the formation

The OP is either being thick..or deliberately provocative ...COVID has an impact on earnings last season and will this ..are we really expecting TB to bear an even greater load?

...when his own business will have most likely been impacted very significantly too......

I thought when Lallana went down and was taking off his shin pads he worded to the physio something about feeling his groin.

More concerned about White then Lallana. Thought Ben was outstanding last night. Very exciting talent.

A few reports online suggesting it was cramp

Well if you don't ask you don't get, I suppose.

Has there been any officioal word on eithers physical wellbeing ?

 

[Nameless]

Not sure about White's probably just a knock didn't look too serious. Lallana looks like he cramped up maximum time out for that is usually six weeks then bedded back into the squad expect him to be back for united game though as he walked off.

Maybe if you're a 22 stone IT nerd, but I'd have thought a professional athlete whould be able to shake it off a bit quicker . . .say 2-3 weeks in Mykonos?

Exactly....I’ve had a couple of pretty severe attacks after long runs, but legs are usually ok within a couple of days (and I don’t have the benefit of hydrospas, ice baths and a full time medical and physio team).

I might have to try that one.

This. I tend to cramp every time I get out of a rowing boat, it doesn’t stop me from getting back in the next day for another session ... and 8’m in my fifties.

Completely missed White going off injured... must have gone to make a cuppa. What happened to him?

Lallana did look a worrying one. His expression was not one of a small knock he could run off, but more the realization of a returning injury.

Lallana s looked like shin splints - whatever that is - It was a great idea doesnt look like its going to work if hes injured all the time

Well, normally, you mate bends your foot back, you give it a little shake and on you run. Doubt it is cramp
