Glad you also noticed this. I read the interview that Lambert gave and he said that he meant no offence to Rovers but that his life as true pro footballer really began at Saints. He was given his own trainer and had to eat at certain times and from selected food groups. He was fitness tested at every session and was encouraged to get the best of of himself. When comparing to us he said that the players could eat when the wanted and what they wanted and that virtually no input was made in that area. I know this will be controversial but I can't help but wonder if Phil Kite being replaced has helped with injury avoidance too ? It does seem that Wael has employed the right person to help DC and we have just had two seasons where injuries were minimal when you look upon previous seasons. We are now on the way to becoming a really professional football club and I look forward to the progressing of this journey. Interesting times indeed KP I think you've got the wrong man. Kitey would have been responsible once the injured players arrived in the treatment room. He was the physiotherapist, rather then the trainer; involved in treatment rather than prevention, and I don't believe can be accountable for the injuries we had. Surely injury prevention is more important for a physio than treating the injuries once they have been suffered? As far as Lambert is concerned it's interesting that Baggies fans claim he now looks 2 stone overweight compared to his Liverpool/Saints days!!

What I'm saying is that would have been down to the trainer / fitness coach. It wasn't long ago I'd never heard of an ACL injury, and then all of a sudden we had 9 players out with it in an 18 month period. We're now a couple of years on from that period and we've not had one further ACL injury. A pure coincidence, just our bad luck, or down to the training regime at the time?

Gazza in the 1991 Cup Final was the first time I heard, I was 8.

its a darn good listen. I will listen out for this Having a Gas slot more often. Well done RadBris Every Thursday during the season. It's a shame they only stay available for a month - there have been some really good episodes all through. There's a few still available. The last one, from 21st April will be gone after today I imagine. Worth catching before it goes - studio guest was Andy Tillson - www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p03f5jvc/episodes/player

Great work Ann. And a fine figure of a woman she was as well.

But of the cruciate ligaments, it's usually only the anterior that takes a player out of all training for so long, and from which such talented players sometimes never return to their previous ability. Posterior cruciates are generally less of a big deal, although mine still gives me bother.

We get bigger even if we maintain a minimum amount and I guess his unsuccessful period at LiLiverpool didn't help. He went from hero to zero. I kind of feel sorry for him. A physio *should* be involved in injury prevention techniques or the ones I see do anyway. I am not blaming Kitey but just wonder how we have gone from having a crazy amount of injuries to the truly minimal ones we have now

It's a fair point that the Physio should have an interest, and I concede to KP and Droitwich that the Physio and Trainer / Fitness Coach should be working as a team.
The common denominator seemed to me to be Mark Hammond. Whether that's fair or not I'm not sure. It just seemed to be on his watch we had a huge amount of injuries and either side very few.
Could it be down to trying to be too scientific in approach, or simply a case of not carrying out the correct exercises or warm-up routines. A simplistic example is I'm sure we've all done something we haven't for a while (like badminton or squash) and remarked afterwards that we were aching from using muscles we hadn't for a while.
