Not intending to dampen the mood following a great away win but just keen to hear what others think.
For being a mainstay and a key creative outlet for so many years, hardly missing a match, I just really hope we see Illy back this season and getting 8-10 games under his belt so he can be a vital part of this team again.
I sit in F block with my dad who has a watched the Rs since the late 60s and he fears that the once robust Chair may be a thing of the past, I hope he’s wrong but am worried he’s right.
Guess time will tell and he’s still young, but to me it’s kinda startling how he’s had so many injury setbacks over the past couple of years with hardly anything for all the time before.
Really think this team with a fully fit Chair on the left (or in the middle) could really excite and help us to challenge those playoff spots. |  | | |  |

He did that on the back of playing 5 games in a row straight doing full minutes. And this was after coming back from injury. Terrible mismanagement by the club, again! |
I’m caught between a rock and hard place with this sort of thing.
On one side I’m sick to the back teeth of the constant injuries and disruption to our squad , snd feel like a big big change is needed in our set up and conditioning models overall. But on the other , I talk to a lot of football fans and watch a fair bit too, but can’t imagine and of course I’m probably wrong , many other sets of fans reacting to a footballer playing 5 full games in a row as .. ‘terrible mismanagement’ .
Thats his job!
Now you might well be fully right, with every case being different and the fact he has been out since might well suggest so (might not be linked at all , we don’t know ) and it’s not in anyway directed towards you but the bigger picture for an old sod like me is 5-10 years ago , once players had returned from injury , then that’s it …they are fit to play and off they go .
Now we are obsessed with managing minutes of certain players (RND for example ) but balls to others (Jimmy, Madsen eg ) . I don’t really get it .
In short , I think these players are molecoddled to death by an army of ‘performance and fitness ‘ folk who I think are on a bit of gravy train…especially at our club.
Players have gone elsewhere to get fit recently , that says it all .
Try and get there early and watch the 4 stage ‘warm up’ they will do today ..especially the back 4 .
It’s worse than anything I can remember doing 30-35 years ago . And we have been doing this for nearly 3 seasons . |  | | |

I'm sure that I read somewhere he has had back issues for the last year or two and I suspect these are causing secondary injuries |  | | |

It's a bigger world than Burnley. Intelligence and insight and an appreciation of context is needed to navigate nuance and subtlety. Blind acceptance of consistent .mediocrity that has made no difference to progress is admirable. Eh hup me duck! |
Please let us know what practical measures you've adopted to not accept the club's consistent mediocrity. |  |

Chair has had injury issues for a season and a half. Isn’t it common sense to “ease him”
back into it until he’s built up a lot of games and got back to proper match fitness. Common sense no? And I do think championship fans are a bit more “forgiving” on resting players due to the schedule. The key question is who is making these calls or is it more of a group decision. |  | | |

Loved the line from Jimmy Ramble the Sheffield United fan on the Hoopsa match preview.
