NewConvert Posted August 28, 2015 Report Share Posted August 28, 2015 If this guy can't get his body right he will be classified as another 'donkey' signing. Agree. Just like Germano - good player to have on the field but that seldom happens. Mind you, it is still early days so he his body may hold up over the course of two seasons but right now the bright prospects have dimmed a little.

Mind you, it is still early days so he his body may hold up over the course of two seasons but right now the bright prospects have dimmed a little.TBH I would not be surprised at all if the reason behind Germano's body was Heart not having the right access to facilities or the right recovery plans in place and it fucked his body right up 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bt50 Posted August 28, 2015 Report Share Posted August 28, 2015 If he can't get his body right it will be the clubs medical and coaching staff that will be responsible. Now that he's here there's no reason why he can't stay fit at 23 years of age. you do realise that most injuries come down to luck right? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimmy Posted August 29, 2015 Report Share Posted August 29, 2015 you do realise that most injuries come down to luck right?You do realize that "luck" is mean reverting and over an extended period of time means exactly zero, right? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jw1739 Posted August 29, 2015 Report Share Posted August 29, 2015 Even in the Wellington game I noted that there were a couple of periods of 5 minutes or so when they looked pretty good, passing the ball around quickly to good effect. In contrast we do tend to play what I call a "tight" game - moving the ball slowly, not making the obvious pass first time but players dwelling on the ball just that fraction too long, and having to ride body contact before finally passing the ball. I can't help but think that our style of play might be contributing to our high rate of injuries. It's also the reluctance to move the ball quickly that means our attacks get closed down and we have to go backwards and sideways. We were doing this again in the second half on Wednesday night.If it was just "luck", in our 6th pre-season things would be evening out by now, but they're not.

bt50 Posted August 29, 2015 Report Share Posted August 29, 2015 Of course there are factors to minimise the risk of reoccurrence and we haven't appeared to do well at that over the journey.But generally speaking, injuries in the first occurrence are luck related, particularly when it comes to things such as breaks or contact injuries.

jw1739 Posted August 29, 2015 Report Share Posted August 29, 2015 This is going to be a good test for the new Head of Sports Science at City, Ed Leng. Most of our previous injuries have ended up being for far longer than the first diagnosis; let's see how long this one takes.Harry N.'s absence is a blow we didn't need, but it's a good chance for some of our other players to show what they can do. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tesla Posted August 29, 2015 Report Share Posted August 29, 2015 Seriously what world do some people live in?It's pretty normal to have 4-5 players out injured at the start of the season, and even more during the mid and later parts of the season.He got injured, it happens.Yes, some players are more injury prone than others, but TBH it's too early to tell for Novillo and either way I'm not too concerned unless it's Germano-level of injury proneness. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tesla - world of reality buddy.I am a massive fan of Novillo. However this is his 3rd or 4th injury since he arrived. Once again I reiterate unless he gets himself right (whatever his problem is) then he will be classified as a 'donkey' signing. Now you can talk about what's normal for players to be injured, who is responsible for his injury, length of injury, cause of injury but the facts are he is missing more games than he is playing thus far. Time will tell but so far it's not looking good....Quality of the player is great, time spent on pitch and not in physio room is not so great. Care to disagree with me and I don't give a fuck. Facts are facts. I like that you quoted yourself. I always appreciate shameless self promotion That's cause some cunts don't read the thread and just bob up like they fucking know it all.

SF33 Posted August 30, 2015 Report Share Posted August 30, 2015 Better it happens now with six weeks and a few warm up games before week 1 to plan a different set-up without Novillo for the first few weeks (if necessary) than for it to happen mid-season and make changes on the fly.

jw1739 Posted August 30, 2015 Report Share Posted August 30, 2015 CFG have specifically hired Ed Leng as Head of Sports Science straight out of the EPL and sent him out here to improve City's performance with respect to injuries.Yes, the club has had a history of having persistent, niggling injuries (e.g. Alex Terra) and injuries that seem to go on much longer than the original diagnosis - for example Jonatan Germano, Jacob Melling, Robbie Wielaert, Ben Garuccio; I'm sure others could name more than I can call to mind immediately.But IMO we should give Leng time to see what he can do to improve matters.It's possible that his previous clubs got fed up with Harry N. looking as though he's about to die twice every game, and it's an aspect of his on-field performance that won't go down well in the A-League either. Apart from the performance that would have impressed the Shakespeare Theatre Company, he looked genuinely pissed-off that he was injured when he left the field in the Wellington match, and I'm not going to write him off yet. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where I add caution is that I am aware that some people's genetic make up do make them more susceptible to certain types of injuries. And there is very little any medical team can do about that.
