We need better injury management and a post mortem within the club about how this has happened and what can prevent it structurally and procedurally … but as a managerial criteria I’m not sure this should really be on a list of things we’re considering when looking for an Ange replacement?

I also think getting the balance right of introducing youth players in a way that aids there development and preserves the results fans want is nigh impossible. Possible with an individual, but multiple players is wishful thinking and not a realistic criteria. Class of 92 was a complete anomaly

What we’ve done this year is already extreme in terms of young players and circumstantial. No way this happens if we had not had the injuries etc because these are the types of results you are likely to get

Add to this that Dragusin Udogie and Sarr are 22. Kinskey 21. Brennan and Mickey are 23. These are all players still developing and a long way from mature and experienced in the way that produces consistent performances and results. It’s a multi year process in its early stages whomever the manager

I fully agree and think the medical squad needs a post mortem and a review (again). I think @windycoys.bsky.social has a point about ange’s rotation and subs but equally think there’s something seriously wrong in the background here.

This is it for me… we have history which predates Ange of having players with consistent injuries with us then going on to be injury free for long stretches elsewhere. I think it is very telling that we have been hiring in that area.

Exactly. The people accusing Ange of causing all the injuries are the same people who have complained about our medical department's record since forever.

All clubs fanbases say this when they go through injury crisis.
