If he's getting injured in that sort of game, he's in big trouble. Peterborough didn't lay a glove on us when we had possession, and never attempted a press or a tackle. Worrying.

[cockneyclaret]

Another position needs replacing

Not sure how often hamstring injuries are caused by being pressed or tackled.

[Granny WeatherWax]

Wood came off with a tight hamstring too.

I’m not sure that the hamstring works like that.

[FactualFrank]

Neither Lennon and JBG seem to be back long before they pick up another injury so it's difficult to really count them as players. They'll make the odd appearance here and there, but feel that's about it.

Are you not? Maybe you could find out and let us know what you find out.

It was an easy game which didn't require as much exertion as a PL game, was the point I was getting at.

[Buxtonclaret]

Can't remember who it was who played a through ball to him, near the end of the first half.
Might have been Jay, but neither were on the same wavelength.
Think JBG wanted it playing short. It was played long, he didn't chase it but just turned back upfield and touched his hamstring then.

If you’re game is all about bursts of pace, then it’s probably the most common injury especially if it’s an injury you’ve done many times before

I don’t really get your point. You can pull/tear your hamstring as easily whether you’re playing a football game against Peterborough, Manchester City or The Red Lion.

Agreed. The pattern of recurrence is becoming problematic now though, for him and for us

Yes you certainly can

My point is most of the games he plays in will need greater exertion than the game he played in today. If he's getting injured today, it doesn't bode well for him when he's having to sprint further and faster to evade presses/ tackles/ make recovery runs etc against better teams. It means there will be more opportunity for him to get injured in those sorts of games.

Gudmundsson’s time on the treatment table is certainly becoming cause for concern. But it seems that you’re overthinking it with regards to the relevance of today’s opposition.

Poor sod, he was a glimmer of hope in the last two league games, sadly now though it is time to either move him on or just watch his contract run down.

Been a pleasure as always Riley, what would this board do without your circular motion.

Apologies for replying to your comment. Maybe don’t post on here if you don’t want people to respond.

[claretdj]

The new Darren Anderton..

Don't be so tetchy young man. There's no need to be so serious all the time. Apology accepted on this occasion.

I pulled my hamstring buying a quiche in Aldi. Last one, mind.

[FCBurnley]

So let’s look at worst case scenario. JBG hammy say 4 weeks. Wood same although unlikely. Barnes groin could be anything. Brady not fit for sure. Sell Vydra and Gibson who is unfit anyway. Pope inured v Villa. Unknown. Westwood still struggling after injury. What’s left
Hart
Bards Tarks Mee Taylor
Lennon hendrick cork McNeil
J Rod and ?
Mmm. We could buy but we are saving it for a rainy day. Well Mr Chairman it is ******* down really hard !!!!

One of the most injury prone players we've had at Turf Moor in a long time and I think 'injury prone' is being very kind.

And yet the experts on here got on there condescension horse when it was suggested by many of us in the summer that we needed another winger due to his total unreliability.

Good player, sometimes, but even when fit he’s hardly consistent. Third behind a centre mid and right back for replacing on a permanent basis.

That is a problem with our transfer policy. We try to sign players out of favour at other clubs with plenty of experience. They are out of favour for a reason.

[jrgbfc]

With him likely to be out for a few weeks and Barnes carrying an injury we're pretty much down to the bare bones in midfield and upfront. If we don't seriously attempt to strengthen this month then we deserve all we get. Hopefully it may concentrate a few minds in the Board room.

Strangely enough, I did my hamstring playing against the Red Lion.

I wish him a speedy recovery.
