Saint Charlie Posted 29 March, 2016 Share Posted 29 March, 2016 (edited) Shane Long injured whilst playing for Ireland tonight. Still on the field but he may come off before h-t. Not good news if so..., Ice pack on his knee at HT in the tunnel apparently. Edited 29 March, 2016 by Saint Charlie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VectisSaint Posted 29 March, 2016 Share Posted 29 March, 2016 Ice pack on his knee at HT in the tunnel apparently. Tripped by Skrtel for the 2nd penalty. Skrtel seems to have it in for Saints players in the box recently. Injury doesn't sound too bad, played for 20-odd minutes from when he was injured until half-time. Maybe a doubt for the weekend, but could be OK beyond that. We have JRod and Charlie back in contention for the Leicester game, don't we? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sheaf Saint Posted 7 April, 2016 Share Posted 7 April, 2016 What's Leicester's secret with injuries (or lack thereof)? Is it really just pure luck? There was a Leicester fan on here the other day who reckoned it was all down to the sports science that was implemented while Pearson was still manager which somehow manages muscular injuries a lot better than how other clubs do it. Obviously though, that doesn't account for impact injuries. So in that respect they have been very lucky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint-Fred Posted 7 April, 2016 Share Posted 7 April, 2016 What's Leicester's secret with injuries (or lack thereof)? Is it really just pure luck? Less games? -went out of the cups quite early, and no Europe? Players desperate to play? Hasn't Vardy play with numerous knocks? Perhaps they bought players who aren't prone to injury? - what's their records like at previous clubs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Boy Saint Posted 7 April, 2016 Share Posted 7 April, 2016 What's Leicester's secret with injuries (or lack thereof)? Is it really just pure luck? Here's the bit from the Leicester fan Hi, Leicester fan in peace. Just a point on the injuries, of course luck does play a part in some way as you can't do much about impact injuries. I think most injuries are muscle based though, whether it's a hammy, a calf, thigh, groin etc. Since Pearson arrived here and setup the sports science department our injury record has been fantastic with regards not losing players to muscle problems. We do things quite differently to most with regards extra rest days (something Ranieri was baffled by and wanted to change until being convinced otherwise), the cryotherapy chamber we had installed at the training ground, along with lots of other innovations that were embraced. So whilst I agree, luck does play a part. It can't just be attributed to that, you have to give credit to the clubs setup. Yes other teams have lost more players, but I'm sorry. The likes of Man City, United, Arsenal, Chelsea and even Spurs to some extent, can replace one injured player with someone else who cost anything from £5m to £30m. Then having a few more injuries is no excuse when we're doing it with a starting 11 that cost less than one half a Raheem Sterling. Of course top clubs aren't performing as well as they might usually but often you only get one or two per season who get it right anyway. What we're on course for is more than enough to get you 2nd or 3rd most seasons. I did a count up a while back and with our current ppg ratio we'd end up on enough to win the league about 30% of the time. So whilst the lack of that one exceptional team might help us get the title, where usually we might not have. We'd still be there or there abouts, 4 losses in 41 games is no fluke. Plan B is a variation of Plan A, so you're right it's pretty close to what we did before. But more of a shift to the defensive side, people started giving us the ball and sitting back. We don't want the ball, it's not how we want to play really. So we've sat deeper, got more people back, aren't pressing as high up the pitch as much as we were. Basically forcing the other team to come onto us, even though their game plan wasn't to do that. It's of no surprise that we've scored pretty much in all our recent games when the other team has been having a "good spell". The beauty of the team is that they are capable of doing both sides of it. Opening it up and bombing forwards with pace and some skill (see the game against you earlier in the season after we went 2 behind). Whilst also being more than happy to sit back, absorb pressure and grind it out like in this game. There are 1000 little things that have got us to this point, enough to honestly write a book about. From training ground improvements, to scouting, past and present managers inputs, the owners mentality, bloody clappers!. All just culminating in what's happening. I'm sure some people will look at our style and think it's that they need to copy, but I don't think it can be. It's more than that, it's a once in a lifetime chain of events that brought us to this point. Just want to say thanks to the saints fans I met the other day as well. Really nice bunch.

Obviously though, that doesn't account for impact injuries. So in that respect they have been very lucky. I doubt Leicester are any more advances on sports science than most other Prem clubs, it's been widespread for a long time, even things like cryo chambers - they've just had the fortune not to get injuries or suspensions to key players at key times. The exception being the impact of losing Simpson for half an hour against Arsenal and Wasilewski coming on instead, which shows what would most likely happen if a "normal" level of injury/suspension affected them. I'm not buying that they've got a sports science setup that makes enough of a difference until they get through another couple of seasons with far fewer injuries than most others. Of course the recent "blood doping" allegations were vague enough to raise some eyebrows too, not that I'm suggesting for a second that's what's going on there.
