Injuries And Suspensions

I think it’s a step too far for Swan at the moment.

Think we would be better looking to uncover a Greg Halford replica.

A spear tip.

A focal point.

Thought Millwall had 'our' guy.  That big buy who always scores against Forest.  Something like that.

SA.

Certain signings made by Forest because they looked good against us haven't always worked out well...
David Friio, Chris Burke,Gino Padula, being three that spring to mind. Lyle Taylor still has time not to join that list....hopefully.

True dat.

But we still need target man of some sort to mix things up.  If Steve goes down that route.

I'd just be happy with another younger striker to can score goals and upset opposition defences.

The most famous example I reckon was Aaron Davies. He’s going to be miles better than Chris Cohen!

With our options upfront then perhaps give one of the youngsters a chance. That said playing u23s and then playing some canny wily experienced championship defender is a very different prospect. That said, you never know.

It would be nice if we could produce (and hold on to) a good striker through the academy

i'm wondering if the traditional hoof down the middle of the pitch to someone who traps it or heads it might become obsolete, and has been by and large nothing more than a giving the ball back to the opposition exercise for a long time.

even SC alluded to his desire to see the ball sent intermediate distances if neccessary or at least observing they were more effective

the key is getting the team to get much better at playing from back to front

Why not try Silva running onto stuff or playing through from higher up the pitch alongside the likes of Lolley, Mighten, Johnson, maybe Silva is injured?

We have forgotten by and large how to attack, though sometimes just the desire to want to get forward with a bit of belief can make all the differance, this is good timing for the new management team

Cooper said in his post match interview that he thinks Grabban has a thigh injury despite coming off with concussion.

Back on track. Injuries and suspensions.

Not sure of the exact rule, but I saw something that if you are replaced because of concussion, you cannot play for 10 days, anyone know if this is correct?

Larsson looks like the closest prospect that could fit in to our team at the minute from watching the u23s this season. He has jumped ahead of Swan for me with his all round play. 

Silva may get a look in now too.

If the same rules are applied as in Rugby, the player has to complete an HIA - Head Injury Assessment - if it is confirmed the player suffered from concussion, the 10 day rule comes into play.

Just spoken to my Daughter about this as she is Head Physio at Grantham Town and she says that if a player has shown any symptoms of concussion from the point of the injury occurring, then she will 'ground' that player for between 10 and 14 days, ideally the latter. She carries out regular reviews with the player and has discussions with the team manager etc. 

I don't think there is an actual rule per se, rather a set of guidelines the FA have set out.

Interesting, Tricky.  I've learned something.  Always good.

I'd make the nets '5 a side' short and encourage the passing game.  That's one evolution of football I'd like to see.  The heading in football, to me, is a distraction.

Still, I wasn't saying that when Francis scored his. :D

I'm pretty sure that there was a test game at the weekend where heading was banned for one half and in the other half you could only head it inside the box.

Interesting development. Would cut down the amount of heading of the ball which would be a start.
