great thread thanks for taking the time

I can understand the club being cagey on injuries not wanting to give the opposition information...but honestly I think every club in the league now knows exactly how we are going to line up and play at the moment.

my point being from a fans perspective I wish they would keep us more up to date on these things, better comms on this stuff helps curb bullshit spreading around things like barky and his recent absence.

Hope we can add to this thread, I think you have them all and as you list theres a shit load of unknowns

Personally very disappointed with the comms around injuries, I don't actually understand the point about being cagey to avoid other clubs getting getting info I think they're just terrible, especially the manager, at providing an explanation. Doesn't have to be a precise date of return but you can see most of his comments are abysmal.

The list contains arguably 5 first team starters, it's significant so yeah if this thread is to work people should post any info knocking about and keep it up to date 👍🏻
 
Harrop is also "injured" - apparently got a bad case of wounded pride the same day he was told he wasn't in the 25-man squad. Not been seen in the Central League since.

FM is often praised for his honest approach, but on players who have clearly been out injured for months with no sign of return, he just bullshits unconvincingly about endless "wee nicks" and "tweaks".
 
LEP says that Hughes should be back next week. No update though on McCann and Maguire (did see he was in Marbella though yesterday via Insta !). Evans and Olosunde not too far off apparenty.

Even if McAvoy was telling us about injuries, it still wouldn’t tell us anything. He’s underplayed every single injury we’ve got, and not one of his ‘return dates’ have actually been accurate. Olosunde with his “wee knock” is in his 3rd month of injury with still no sign of return even though FM said he should be back around the start of the month

Fully expecting Hughes and Bauer to be out to New Year. They’ve not even described McCanns injury so it must be awful.
 
Barky quotes personal issues as well as being knocked for 6 by covid, I hope that he's ok - and that the issues didn't stem from his truthful comments post hull since then he hasn't been seen

It was great seeing him back and firing in the Central League game. Hopefully see him on the bench for the match on Saturday, pace is something we’re still sorely lacking (although that’s partly due to the fact FM insists on getting Browne and Potts on the pitch every single match)

I’m assuming Browne is injured too because he appears to be in Rome

I would’ve assumed Frankie would’ve used the break to get some much needed practice with almost a full squad, rather than letting the players go off on holiday?
 
Maybe I'm a cynic but keeping our injury list secret may be a way of keeping this side of PR's recruiting strategy (only sign cripples and cast offs) from Uncle Trevor

Usually the players are allowed a couple of days around the weekend on an International break

The sustained absences give the game away though. Of all the criticism of TH stupid he isn't.
Like others I got the impression that Olosunde would be out for a couple of weeks after that knock in pre season.
3 months on and still no sign of him.
 
had the McCann injury be known to be long term then i think we would have been informed. In that case being informative would be more helpful than remaining secretive
