You've mentioned some good points.There are loads of injuries knocking about and there seems to be an increase every year.
I'm sure there's a reason but I can't find it. Squads are deeper now, more players get used throughout a season, more subs in games., it's less of a contact sport, pitches are better. I think the game is a bit faster these days, I wonder whether an increase in backroom staff on things like the Physio side lead to more "knocks" simply not getting played through as much.
Barrow for us. Speaking of cup finals, this is mine because of the way Peter "Pete Wild" Wild winds me up. We're due a result against them you'd hope.
H&S is now paramount than in bygone days when a player was told to run off their injuries.
