I looked for research on whether hybrid pitches contributed to player injuries. Although inconclusive, there appear to be indications that they do in some research, particularly for foot and ankle injuries, but not for others.
"From a biomechanical perspective, artificial turf exhibits higher frictional coefficients than natural grass resulting in higher foot and ankle injury rates." https://www.researchgate.net/p
"The higher incidence of ankle sprain on artificial turf warrants further attention, although this result should be interpreted with caution as the number of ankle sprains was low." https://bjsm.bmj.com/content/4
"The overall incidence of football injuries is lower on artificial turf than on grass. Based on these findings, the risk of injury can't be used as an argument against artificial turf when considering the optimal playing surface for football." https://www.thelancet.com/jour
The team seems to be entirely made up of U18s. What's irritating is that the numbers given on X are incorrect so it's nearly impossible to identify most players.
The live video for Enfield Town v QPRDS tonight isn't working. That's twice in a few days. Given that they ask us to pay for this, it's extremely unprofessional of the club.
Years ago my family and I were walking along the side of Central Park. I was wearing a QPR shirt and had told them I'd definitely get a few URRRRS. As I hadn't I rushed on ahead and without the family seeing, I asked a stall holder if he'd give me a URRRRS when we all walked past. However, when we walked past him his URRRRS came out sounding like a panto pirate shouting OOO ARRGH and everyone fell about laughing.
Given Lamptey is so injury prone, will we need another RB as cover for Adamson? Cirkin has never played at RB and Kemper has only ever played there twice.
Thanks so much for posting that update, Mart. Your willingness to share these deeply personal things with us on here is amazing. I think I can speak for all LFWers in asking you to pass our love and best wishes to your wife.
