[Albion] Should Glenn Murray play this Saturday?

[beorhthelm]

on the one hand follow the medical advice, on the other time for someone else to get a shot anyway so dont take the risk. we need the other strikers to come through and they cant do that from the bench, and if they arent upto it then in to the market in January.

 

[Uh_huh_him]

Nothing I would like more than to see Glenn score his 100th goal tomorrow.

But no he shouldn't play

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

Most seen to think he's fine to play if the club's medical staff clear him. Now if Glenn was your son would they still be entirely accepting of the decision?

Bit over dramatic, shirley?

Anyway, my son is a brick folly with flying butresses so I'm now being drawn further towards play the bugger, thanks to your provocative post. Hope the team doctors aren't reading this btw .

 

[Marty___Mcfly]

If he’s cleared then he can play.

But I do get the impression that we are a bit behind the times in the UK when it comes to these issues. A greater understanding could show that it should be taken more seriously.

A bit more information on the PL concussion protocols.

I find it interesting that some are saying that 6 days rest is nowhere near enough. What is your reasoning for this? One assumes the protocol was formed with the assistance of neurologists and the like?

Protocols are drafted with assistance from medical experts but the ultimate end products are often far more lenient given the demands of the sport. Even so, head injuries in football have been taken far less seriously than they should. Wasn't it this past year that Karius played the UCL final while concussed?

I don't know the severity of his injury or the results of his evaluation, but you'll be hard pressed to find a doctor that'll clear their patient for that degree of intensive mental and physical exertion less than a weak after the incident.

 

[Dick Knights Mumm]

No. And that's a full stop.

 

[Fungus]

I'm not risking him in my Fantasy Prem team - he'll be on the bench this week.

Have gone the opposite and put him as captain Have a niggly feeling that he'll start.

 

[Frankie]

Absolutely not , the consequences the club would face if something unfortunately went wrong would be disastrous even if all protocols were apparently followed .

 

[The Antikythera Mechanism]

I think that the club doctors will decide this

Llorius was deemed to have been playing with a concussion weeks after having an absolute mare. Genuine or clutching at straws after a shocker?

 

[Norman Potting]

..will come on as a late sub with the team already well ahead of Wolves. Will score a spectacular goal for his 100th leading to marvellous scenes - possibly.

Exactly.....guidelines were changed as a result of his injury. Good article here after the Karius CL final incident

Only if he wears Foster's headband !

 

[aolstudios]

Rest please

 

[father_and_son]

No rest for the wicked

 

[Petee]

Yet again, the expertise of NSC is ignored. When will the club learn? #FFSMurray

 

[Hampster Gull]

For ignoring NSCs finest, Barber OUT

 

[Brok]

Only if he wears Foster's headband !

And what a difference he made...

Looks like Glenn is the only one not suffering from concussion- bring on a better 2nd half
