Ghost of Clough Posted March 17 Share Posted March 17 1 hour ago, Carl Sagan said: The question before us is, with Gayle presumably out, do we recall Dajaune from Gateshead for the Northampton game? Or do we rely on Waghorn, or NML, or try to play without a recognized striker? Leave him out on loan. Waghorn will do the job for now, with Mendez-Laing and Barkhuizen chipping in. Washington will return to the squad soon. Collins only a couple of weeks off too, hopefully around the time Gayle is back too. Crewton 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angieram Posted March 24 Share Posted March 24 Gateshead won 3-2 yesterday. Brown involved in two of the three goals, with the pull back that led to the first, and cushioned header that set up the third.

Now with Barkhuizen and NML out and Waggy being poor, does this cause a rethink?. Yes Collins is coming back but hes our only true focal point. Washington and Waggy are not that. Brown could be useful from the bench. Oldben 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Waghorn will start vs Blackpool, with Washington and Collins on the bench. The hope would be to get at least one of them fully fit. r_wilcockson 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carries a great deal of risk given that we are unlikely to beat Portsmouth and we still don't know collins and Washingtons exact return date or how quickly they will be back to scoring. Bolton has an opportunity to overhaul us. Portsmouth is a game we could easily lose. Andrew3000 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When players have been out injured for a long time, they often take a while to start scoring a lot of goals if their going to get to that point at all. We don't have a lot of time, so will Washington and waghorn just make up the numbers on the pitch without scoring. Do we have the luxury of waiting for them to start regularly scoring Andrew3000 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chopper Posted March 24 Share Posted March 24 I think Brown should stay out. I love seeing that he's playing, scoring, assisting, making an impact on the mens game. I can understand the argument to bring him back though. Washington and Waghorn aren't fully back or 'in nick' and Brown would certainly hit the ground running. But he is in form at Conference level, it would be a gamble. He could come straight in and give that different option score early and then go on a run. He could just as easily need a run to get acclimatised too. Plus I get the feeling that Warne would hold him reserve, on the bench perhaps playing 10 mins when chasing the game, achieving neither scenarios above. Thinking long term let him stay, let him go to Wembley, let him finish the season on a high and then see what preseason brings. Closing the season with Gateshead could be just the experience that he needs and in season 24-25 we may glean the benefit regardless of our division. r_wilcockson, angieram and Foreveram 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Impact of Long-Term Injuries on Football Players Increased Risk of Re-Injury: Players with a history of injury are significantly more likely to suffer a re-injury of the same type in subsequent seasons. This highlights the need for tailored rehabilitation and prevention programs. Lengthy Recovery Periods: Re-injuries often require longer recovery periods than initial injuries, particularly for muscle strains (e.g., hamstring, groin, quadriceps). Injury Burden: The combined impact of injury frequency and severity is crucial for understanding the full effect on teams and player performance. Age as a Factor: Older players (over 30) are more prone to severe injuries, which can lead to extended absences. Need for Ongoing Surveillance: While overall injury rates may remain consistent across seasons, specific injury patterns can change, emphasizing the importance of continuous monitoring for targeted interventions. In conclusion, long-term injuries significantly impact football players' performance, increasing their risk of future setbacks and prolonging their return to play. Coaches and medical professionals must work together to optimize rehabilitation, implement prevention strategies, and carefully manage the return-to-play process, taking into account individual player factors like age and injury history. https://www.howdengroup.com/sites/g/files/mwfley566/files/2022-09/Football-Injury-Index-September-22.pdf RoyMac5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carl Sagan Posted March 28 Author Share Posted March 28 Yes this is two leagues below, but you look at all these goals - left foot, right foot, headers, and often very clever finishes, poaching in the six yard area, running from the halfway line, shooting from outside the box - And this fast, powerful, skillful, confident young striker looks *exactly* what we (and any team at our level and probably above) needs. It seems baffling he's not had proper first team time this season. But huge plaudits to Dajaune for putting down a marker, and getting an U23 international call up as an 18 year old. The future looks bright with him on our books - scoring goals is the hardest thing. angieram, DavesaRam and RoyMac5 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
