    If I had a million for every time someone associated with the club has referenced soft tissue injuries over the last 7 or so seasons I’d be buying Rupp out.

    Again GA brings these up, when does the grown up conversation happen that this may actually be down to:
    A. The injury prone players we recruit season after season
    B. Our facilities - trainning ground and stadium pitch.
    C. Medical and performance staff

    What are we actually doing about it?

    Well I think we're looking at a fitness geezer right now after sacking the last one.

    Sparks has finally had to accept he can't just hire a bunch of his mates from rugby.

    It's only taken 4 years.

    4 long, wasted years.

    It's hardly surprising soft tissue injuries are mentioned alot though as it's a catch all term that basically covers muscle, tendon and ligament injuries which are basically the most common football injuries. Obviously they can be managed, most of Man Utds injuries this season have been these, most happening in training which suggests overtraining when in the red zone so you need both the right diagnostic tools to identify when players are entering that point and a manager who will listen to the medical team but even if you have all that in place it will still be the injury that's mentioned the most

    Spot on


    Why they show a pic of Stubbs in relation to soft tissue is mind boggling….He had a fractured eye socket ….Some soft tissue!

    Many of us have banged on about this for years - our injury record has been absolutely appalling since PP took Nick Alanby with him to Bolton, and we didn’t react accordingly

    What the hell did Sparks et al expect would happen!!
