Dujon's got this, just need backfills for him at left back, right wing and central midfield.
Think we can take the Goldson injury out of the suggestions of training pitch issues I've seen posted. His injury was as a result of another player landing on top of his knee after a challenge for the ball.The managers coded message about knowing why we are getting so many injuried players is something that’s of great interest to me. Why can’t he inform us? It’s not as if it’ll will stop any further injuries or help our opponents.
Yep, realistically we’re stuck with him.Who is taking an injured 31 year old's very expensive contract off our hands ?
Goldson's one strength was his durability. That's been blown to bits in the last 18 months. That's now three major injuries since October 2022.
I don't see how we shift him now. It was always a big ask this summer but I think there's no chance now.
I’m lost with where we are at with Davies. Played 90 minutes in majority of the European games and nowhere to be seen outwith this. Last time he pulled the jersey on was 90 minutes vs Betis away.This is all heading towards a Ben Davies come back and another arse collapsing performance at parkhead isnt it?
Thanks, injuries does seem to be an inherent problem with our team but freak incidents like the one you quoted can’t be helped.Think we can take the Goldson injury out of the suggestions of training pitch issues I've seen posted.

One word - toiletlickers.

Our injury problems long predate the GVB/Beale era.there is the possibility that the shambolic pre-season has left our players vulnerable to injuries
Must've been carrying the injury all season then.Playing with an injury? Could be what's happened with his form
5 games in 3 weeks, I'd like to think so!All the best to Connor.
Can Leon Balogun play every game these days? There used to be an issue.
Been playing DM for Scotland U21s and also our B team iirctime to defrost Ben Davies in case he is needed. Anyone seen much of Leon King this season to know if he is up to the task if called upon?
They all from Greenock?Only eight players from our full squad have started half or more of our league games -

Need to clone him a few timesDujon's got this, just need backfills for him at left back, right wing and central midfield.
Davies is nowhere near as bad as made out. He’s far from great and Clement evidently feels others are ahead of him, but if he needs to come in and do a job so be it.I’d rather see Suck at centre half than Ben Davies.
It’s really bizarre - he looked good at Preston.
Not fancying our chances in that regard, mate.Still got a treble to win, bud.

They didn’t play an awful lot of football mind youHonest to f*ck, world war 1 regiments didn't get as many injuries as we do.
He’s been a very poor use of our resources and we do need better (we actually need better than all of our centre halves), but at least we have options.He’s woeful.
Genuinely looks lost.
£25k ish a week. Mental.
If it predates several different managers, sets of coaching staff etc, then what do you think it could be if it also isn’t bad luck?Our injury problems long predate the GVB/Beale era.
I just don't believe in 'bad luck' being used to explain everything.
I don't think you can fake ligament damage.I think Goldson's finished and overdue getting moved out of the club, but to accuse him of faking this injury is absolute nonsense. Genuine moonhowling drivel.
He's down the pecking order for me but it's still a loss of yet another player you'd expect to see plenty of minutes before the end of the season.
So we're left with Balogun and Souttar as our fit centre-halves, thrilling what with their famous durability, as well as wherever the elusive Ben Davies might be.
Injuries have devastated our season even worse than the last few years. There's clearly a few things contributing - if it was one factor it would have surely been resolved by now. Recruitment, medical staff, training set-up, pre-season work - it all needs properly looked at.
This season must be a record breaker for injuries.
There are several pitches at the training ground. The first team continue to play on the same one.
Surely if there was a problem with the training pitch they would at least have moved pitches ??
I'm not sure it's the pitch, but either way this whole injury thing needs urgently addressed as a priority.
Poor recruitment has led to a reliance on too many players spreading themselves thin. That leads to tiredness, that leads to fatigue, that leads to injuries.I don't know, the last two seasons have been just as bad. It's beyond ridiculous now and it surely can't be bad luck.
Where is Ben Davies?According to Chris Jack
Torn Ligaments
Leaves us with 2 centre half's... and no doubt one of them will get injured before next week
I guess I was more alluding to Clement's cryptic, "we know what is causing this stuff" with regard to us picking up so many injuries.Somebody fell on him
Hopefully not like the Oliver Khan / Mols one.
Would be a factor ye but it’s wider abd deeper again isnt it I’m sure there is lots of information at the club but no one seemed intent on dealing with it is how it ‘appears’Poor recruitment has led to a reliance on too many players spreading themselves thin. That leads to tiredness, that leads to fatigue, that leads to injuries.
Seen this and instantly knew he’d be accused of faking it
It's not bad luck. There's something wrong with how we look after our players.
Absolutely cursedManager says a duel took place and a player fell on CGs knee in that joust no suggestion it was surface related in that is there ?
The gaffer says another player fell on top of him during trainingAnd that’s the result of a player playing continually without a break for years. It’s
I wouldnt say that, its early May.Yep, realistically we’re stuck with him.
