Callum Robinson

Injured AGAIN. What the hell is the matter with these players? Ridiculous. Made of glass. Slight bump , sneeze or cough and that’s it. No doubt I will be criticised for my opinion. But out injuries this season have been phenomenal.

Lots clubs having same problem is it the sports science staff being over cautious? Only need to be 5% under par for player not to be risked?

Said before he got his new contract, that Robinson's injury record is not good. He had injury issues at West Brom so it shouldn't have been a surprise.

But there's clearly something wrong with the way they're training the players, we've had way too many injuries.

It’s correct the only difference is that the sports science is so much more technical in modern times that anyone injured or carrying a slight strain is kept back.

Years ago players were encouraged to play on with injuries and even given temporary injections just before going out on the field to get them through a game. Then post game the injury was obviously a lot worse. Then the following week it would be a repeat of the same thing in the end almost crippling a lot of players like the Liverpool legend Tommy Smith.

The modern way has got to be better in all ways. And that opinion is coming from someone who’s usually old fashioned in the way of football.

Also the myth that our club has more injuries than others is exactly that, a myth.

As an example look at Spurs a couple of months ago who had literally 8 first team players out including the whole back four

My point exactly obviously some injuries are bad enough to keep players out for weeks or months like rambos. but a niggle as you say wasn't enough years ago but now with the monitoring of every aspect of players fitness eve a small drop off is enough to get you substituted during game! It's highlighted more when team is not doing well like city.

So it begs the question - who is in charge? The manager or the medics? Or do the latter have too much sway and self importance? It also keeps them in jobs. Sometimes players have a cold and are under the weather and then are out for weeks. This is why certain people like CR should never be given a 3 year contract. You should have to DESERVE one by bloody well playing.

Callum Robinson does deserve a contract - afterall he's our top scorer this season or did that escape your notice?

You would think its a bit of both when comes to decisions..... but would you go against your Dr's advice when they tell you something? Musnt forget being out for one week is better than 1 month in footballing terms.... these medics are highly trained and qualified to make such decisions so why would manager ignore their advice ..... unless we know why he's out hard to be critical of him.... if it's a virus that is energy sapping ect and not easy to get over when your a sportsperson same for any athlete.

I take your point Tina. But in my mind despite his goals - which I’m really pleased about - he continues to not play ENOUGH

Probably right about appearances but unfortunately some players are like that prone to frequent absence? But if he's worth a contract length is not so important as is he worth one.

Players contracts need to be matches played and results based then you would see a difference. Not that it will ever happen

I actually believe the same with O’Dowda on the injury front , 3 years???

Agree. Three years for O'Dowda who is injury prone was strange.

Robinson has had his injuries but to be fair he's scored a lot of goals this season, so two years is probably about right when I think about it.

As I said at the time City had a good transfer window except for the ridiculous decision to give Robinson a 2 year contract.
In 60 years watching City CR is probably the laziest player I have ever seen.
I wish him no harm and glad he has got been in the right place to score some goals this year. But I am glad that having travelled down from N Wales for tomorrows game, that he will not be playing.

Agree, Ned. We simply have to accept that Robinson is a goal scorer and not a battler. Without him in the first half of the season, we would already be down and the addition of Salech plus the emergence of Ashford, has seen our fortunes (if not our League position) boosted considerably. We now have choices where previously we only had a single outlet
