Darthter 542 Posted April 8, 2013 Share Posted April 8, 2013 It may just be me, but we seem to have (and have done for a good few years) an ongoing problem with injuries to players. Going back a few years, Andy Webster was constantly "injured"......goes out on loan with no problem....comes back to us - "injured".....sold to Hearts - no problems. The latest appears to be Kane Hemmings. Lots of injury issues, then goes on load on Cowdenbeath and performs well. Comes back to us early, makes a couple of appearances (has he played a full game yet???), then picks up another injury. Templeton appears to be another that has regular injuries. More often than not, a lot of these injuries happen in training...... It may just be bad luck, or me reading more into things, but I just find it curious.... 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
simplythebest 0 Posted April 8, 2013 Share Posted April 8, 2013 Could be related to Yates departure. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GovanAllan 0 Posted April 8, 2013 Share Posted April 8, 2013 Templeton had problems at Hearts and as far as I know Hemmings was still training with us although I could be wrong. As for Webster his problem was his bottle. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darthter 542 Posted April 8, 2013 Author Share Posted April 8, 2013 As I said in the OP...It may just be me seeing something that's not there, but when you look at the squad this season & in particular the "big stars" that were brought in, only Black has really been unaffected by injury. Sandaza - appeared to have constant niggling injuries, resulting in being in & out the squad (facial injury being the exception) Kyle - previous injury problems but believed to be over them, yet constantly injured and freed as a result Shiels - in & out the squad all season as a result of injury Temps - same as Shiels Darren Cole - appears to be constantly injured As I said previously, this is something I have noticed for a good while, but when the squad numbers are low, I tend to notice it a lot more.... 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We do seem to have more than out fair share of bad luck, I agree mate. All I can say is the equipment at Auchenhowie is world class I've seen it so take from that what you will. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
the gunslinger 3,366 Posted April 8, 2013 Share Posted April 8, 2013 i think this kind of thing is probably though by most clubs fans. it's just because you notice your own injuries and forget others. actual statistics would be interesting. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pete 2,499 Posted April 8, 2013 Share Posted April 8, 2013 I follow Dutch football and there is just as many injuries to top players. Ajax had a lot of players injured this season. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
