God damn he hit me hard now!
Including my youths who are kids picked up from the local police station, I have 53 players. 20 of them are out with injuries now. Almost half of that is the dreaded groin injury. They are in rehab so out for ages.

Only a few games left of the season so I should save promotion nevertheless, but this was scary.

Anybody been hit so hard before?

retired_kswansonwoolf

No, not really. Although i've had some spells where all my strikers or left backs or GK's were out with various kinds of injuries.

20 is a wee bit over the top though :o

All groin injuries you say? Have you been Pushing them too hard. :ooooer:

Wouldn't that be "pulling", Craig?

Aye, I've had 20 out at once. Pain in the ar...erm...groin.

Not all groin injuries, about 8 I guess, don't have the game open now as I'm on my way out the door.

Not been pushing them hard either. The same schedules I've had for the last two years.

Fortunetely for me half my first-team is still intact, well sort of anyway. Had to play to DCs that were coming back from injuries, just glad they didn't get injured again.

The only difference is I hired a fitness based coach about 6 months ago. He's basically pooh, but at least he's fitness based.

They have different types of coaches?

retired_kswansonwoolf

Aye, live and learn. I'll be damned if i ever paid attention to them

Nor do you pay attention to Staff ratings apparently.

I always put the huge number of injuries down to my somewhat over-enthusiastic use of the 'Cross Country' option in training. Kinda like the Slim-Fast plan:
One for breakfast, one for lunch...
And something else for dinner.

I generally do, but if i don't have many options to choose from, one might encounter physios with physiotherapy ratings &lt;10 in my teams
