sheded 0 Posted October 22, 2005 How is it that Huckerby , arguably the most kicked player in the league, can still remain un-injured for most of the season ? How is it that players like Safri and Docherty can suddenly become " key " players for us , shortly before their respective internationals , and after the internationals have been played , they become " injured " again , or revert to playing crap ? What is the difference between cynicism and realism , as it applies to football ? If we beat QPR today , and go on to reach the play-offs , will the Worthy-outers finally shut it ? I ask these questions because I know that the " intelligentsia " on this forum will know all the answers ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Northern Canary 0 Posted October 22, 2005 1. Probably just not very injury prone. And he usually goes down quite easily ever2. Safri has always been a key player. Doherty was rubbish but is now showing some great form.3.I dont know4. No. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sheded 0 Posted October 23, 2005 1 , he`s not very injury prone ? what does that mean ? he has elastic bones ? or is it that he`s just a genuine pro with the nous to develop an answer to the challenges he faces because of his style of play ? .... I think its called a survival instinct !! 2, Safri MAY be a key player , but , so far , only when HE`S ready !! he spends most of his time " injured " ... in other words , on a week by week basis , he`s a waste of space ! ...as for Doherty , on yesterdays showing , it looks very much like that brief flurry of "good form " ,shortly before the international , has disappeared , and he`s now just not bothered enough to repeat what he`s obviously capable of !! What I saw in ,ysterdays match ,was a demoralised bunch of players , I wont call it a team , because , apart from sporadic flashes of joined up play , this was NOT a team ! I will leave it to the clever suds to put me right on whats going wrong here , but , just for the hell of it , these points might be relevant :- Green should be replaced immediately! he`s making far too many basic "errors" ... and its costing us points !! The suggestion that getting rid of Worthy will be the answer to all ills is just being naive ! this is NOT a one man problem ! ..maybe a look behind the scenes may be in order ? Worthy could well be the whipping boy of the " establishment " of which the coaching staff play a leading part ... Dave Carolin " sports scientist " [ roll in your grave Cloughie ] who`s ethos is speed and endurance skills ,agility and mobility drills , warm up / cool down exercises ......... where do we get most of our injuries from ? TRAINING ! James Hollman , an ex-Ipswich goal keeping coach .... Steve Foley 1st team coach , and a member of the Norfolk football coaches association .... an association that Worthy , to his cost ! takes advice from !! What comes across , loud and clear ? That Nigel is taking all the flak , while the real culprits remain silent .... Just my point of view , take it or leave it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
