Do you not think our availability has improved out of all recognition since Dave Rennie arrived? Weimann returned under him & then didn’t miss a single game the following season.

Hardly “so many” injuries, is it?

I would expect we are pretty much in the middle of the table regarding player availability & would be interested to know for instance how we could have stopped Atkinson & Benarous doing their ACLs.

It did for a bit but bare in mind we brought new players in so we couldn't do that without them being fit. I would call 6 injuries before the season even kicks off pretty heavy, especially when one is your lead striker and another is your brand new signing who's longest injury prior to this was 3 games missed due to corona virus and now he's out for "59 days".

Bit more of an interview with Fleming. Mentions a few others. Naismith seems be the one that will be out the longest

The key bit:

Quote

Kal Naismith is yet to play in pre-season and once again wasn’t in either squad for Tuesday’s matches against Exeter City and Cheltenham. New signing Ross McCrorie played last week against Swindon Town but was missing for the weekend double-header against Newport County and Oxford United and again on Tuesday.

Andi Weimann, meanwhile, played and scored in the 4-1 win over the Us on Saturday but has since been suffering with a bruised foot.

Fleming wouldn’t go into extensive detail over Naismith but accepted he has been dealing with several niggles, while raising the fact the whole season needs to be taken into consideration rather than just the first game, indicating the Scot is a doubt for the start of the campaign. McCrorie’s problem seems minor but unless the right-back is involved against Portsmouth on Saturday it seems unlikely he’ll be in consideration to face Preston.

“Kal’s not far away, we’re just being a little bit careful because he’s had a couple of niggles as we’ve gone on,” Fleming added. “The season isn’t August 5, we average 54 games in a season, so it’s important to have everything right.

“It’s the same with Ross, it’s a little niggle. And Andi has bruised the bottom of his foot, so it’s not a bad injury, it’s just every time he plants his foot it’s like being on glass. He’s grand, we’re just getting the ice on it. They’re not major, they’re not months away, they’re days and weeks, so that for us is very good.

“If you're a player now, at this time of the season, you’re trying to calm them down. They say two days’ rest saves you two weeks. Sometimes three days' rest will save you two months. So it’s just calming them down. They’re all working hard but at the moment we’re just being careful.”

 

[Davefevs]

As per @GrahamC re Rennie, the amount of games lost to muscle injuries has dropped drastically.  Compare that to the muscle injuries and subsequent re-occurrences we saw.

Contact injuries, whether in training or in matches there ain’t a lot you can do about.

ACLs are often freak in how they happen…but I do think the speed of the game, the hard-pitches (underneath) they play on have an impact.  They are becoming almost as regular as the cartilage injuries of the 70s and 80s.

Essentially we’ve been playing two mixed up 11s through pre-season, not having Naismith for game 1 is not as important as having him for more games when he’s properly back.  Rushing now may lead to re-occurrence later.

We are still in good shape.

[GrahamC]

That’s disappointing to read, though the general point about having players available for the majority of games & not simply the start is spot on.

We’ll know more after the Pompey game & maybe McCrorie could still be back by Preston, but on this basis it looks like Tanner, Vyner, Dickie & either Pring or Roberts will start the first one.

We should have clarity on Kalas by then so if it is confirmed that he’s gone & then depending on the prognosis for Naismith maybe we will look to add another?

Yep but surely he would want to sort his future out as soon as we stop paying him?

Just expect us to clarify the situation then, we don’t even know if our offer is still on the table.

Plus if he is coming off the wage bill that’s another saving.

I might be wrong and I'm sure someone will correct me, but I was under the impression that Kalas had bought land in Long Ashton and was building new property?

Nope, that’s definitely the case.

Could well be that is his long term plan whatever happens to his career in the next few years though, especially as his partner is from here.

Let’s say a Coventry or Cardiff offer him something, he could commute or live there part of the week whilst this gets built.

Fair enough. Don’t mean it in a derogatory way against Naismith himself at all. Shall I try again?…

Seems like Naismith is quite injury prone at the moment which is a frustrating one for him and us. We need him available more than he was last year, especially with Atkinson out for another few months.

You're not wrong about him being dissappointingly absent. We were notably better with him in the squad with both our purple patches last season coinciding with his presence in the team. Fingers crossed they're being cautious and he'll be back soon after the season starts.

[BCFCGav]

Some welcome returns to the squad for our final pre-season game. 1 week til the real stuff. The boredom is almost over!

 

Injured:

McCrorie

Atkinson

Naismith

Benarous

 

Take a 3-0 loss today with a clean bill of health!

[TammyAB]

Tinns said Benarous should get some minutes in an internal game on Tuesday

[BCFCGav]

And with that, pre-season is done and dusted (barring an away kit I’m convinced the club are too scared to release!).

Assuming no new injuries or returns, we should have all available to start against PNE barring:

 

Injured:

McCrorie

Atkinson

Naismith

Benarous

 

I think the keeper and back 4 picks itself, and the midfield may well be Scott, James, Knight. Front three harder to call with all the forwards staking a good claim this pre-season.

I’m so happy football is back next weekend COYR! ️️

So with Atkinson (February) & Benarous (last December) being injured a long time ago, the only 2 potentially missing as a result of pre season are McCrorie & Naismith.

As for the side I would be very surprised if the front three isn’t Sykes, Conway & Bell, which is slightly harsh on Nakhi & provided Scott is still here next weekend the rest literally does pick itself.

I wouldn’t be amazed if Cornick or Mehmeti got the nod to start to be honest. More Cornick than Mehmeti actually - I think Bell starts. But it’s a good discussion to be having - competition for places and all that!

Don’t think Mehmeti has done much to earn a start pre season & Bell has been prolific.

Sykes is such an underrated player, with another goal today too, take your point about Cornick but expect him to start.

Think it's a toss up between Wells and Conway.  are you thinking Pring over Roberts?

Definitely.

Those are the only two questions, but provided TC is 100%, he’s our main striker.

Roberts has been really impressive but Cam has done nothing that means he should be left out.

[Davefevs]

Cornick’s bit of physicality earns him the gig in my eyes.  He was pretty good today too.

But would I be surprised if Sykes started?  Nope.

Wells and Conway have both been excellent, harsh on whoever misses out.

For the first time in a long time, we have almost a squad where we mostly have two fairly equal members for each position and even a few who can also cover other positions.

In fact, I cannot remember such a situation before in my time and that includes promotion sides in 1955, 1965, 1975, 1990 and 2015.

I smell that a very good season is coming. This is where Nigel will really earn his pay cheque by keeping all squad members happy and doing their best to be first choice.

I wish Nige would find a way to pair them.

Nige-luvver that I am, I wish he didn’t play 3 forwards across the pitch.  They are often too far part imho.

However our press in the first 45 was near-perfect today and with Knight (especially)and Scott breaking from midfield it looked really good.

So, what we might gain by me playing “Football Manager” and devising some kind of diamond or 4312 or whatever has to work with AND without the ball, in controlled possession AND in transition, etc, etc.

So, I’ll let Nige off!

I`d much sooner he said that than tell us he`ll be back in October and it doesn`t happen. It`ll be a nice surprise then when we see a teamsheet before Christmas and he`s on it.

[Nogbad the Bad]

We've got a strong squad so with Benarous and Atkinson I'm looking at them as being 2 out-of-window strong new squad additions to look forward to, hopefully in October and December respectively.

Fingers firmly crossed for them both when they make their comebacks; I think we'll all be holding our breath whenever Ayman, in particular, goes down.

I think Nige is holding back on the last signing.  He wants to see if Naismith and McRorie are okay and the other defenders okay come the end of August.  If they are the money left will go on a keeper. If he thinks we need an extra CB, the money will be spent on that. There's also the advantage of saving on wages until then.  Expect a signing 2 to 3 days before the deadline.

When you think about it, it is about risk management.  There's a risk Max might get seriously injured, If he does then we need another keeper without question.  If Vyner or Dickie get injured we need a CB without question. 

[BCFCOFSWEDEN]

Any news?

Presser this afternoon….Nige and Andi on duty

[redkev]

Personally can’t see Naismith getting a start before September even if he is fit and back training this week ,

done nothing since the Austria trip ( minutes wise ) that will put him a fair way behind the other players .

starting to become a bit of an injury problem ,  hopefully can put this one behind him and get fit .

as I have said before he does have a mistake in him but I generally feel we’re a better side with him on the pitch 

[mozo]

The McCrorie injury is a stroke of luck for Tanner and gives him an opportunity to make right-back his own.

Totally agree , not that Tanner needs someone breathing down his neck to keep him on his toes ( he’s not that sort of player ) but mcrorie on the bench will just give you that 1% extra drive . 
agree though Tanner starts for me 

[BCFCGav]

No spot in the squad for the injured 5, as expected. Bajic misses out through competition, with HWR taking the bench keeper spot.

 

Injured:

Atkinson

McCrorie

Naismith

Scott

5 out. One or two too many given our small squad size, but the quality we now have throughout the squad means a strong starting XI and bench today.

Here we go again then. Nervous, excited, desperate for three points. COYR. ️

[BCFCGav]

A point on the board is ok, albeit we showed some old traits - poor after taking the lead and poor late in the game. But it’s Matchday 1 - nothing won or lost today! Onto the Cup and a nice home win.

Weimann joins a growing injury list.

Certainly not excessively fretting and all sides will get injuries but I wonder, is the balance in training right?

Do we work them too hard or maybe do we do little with the ball and too much without.

5 injuries going into the Season and a 6th on Day One isn't desirable- okay McCrorie has the infection thing but the point remains.

Conway has torn his hamstring. This may be an injury crisis at this point, 7 injured in a squad of 26 is over 1/4 of the players. Of the players we gave squad numbers too, we have 19 left, not enough for a full Matchday squad. When will we become a club that gets some luck? Or just less bad luck? Hopefully it turns soon, let’s get behind the boys we still have until then ️

I basically include any players who aren’t match-fit for the first team, so we know who we can expect to be picking from for any upcoming games. Great news about them both though, hoping we may even see Naismith tomorrow (in which instance he’ll leave the list - and save our season ).

The Injured List has been going for a few seasons now and it would be fascinating (to me anyway) to see it all on one continuous thread from the start to show just how consistently bad our injury situation has been over the last few years.
