Almost every week Morrison says no injuries almost a full squad bar the long termers like Vassell, it can't be a coincidence, either the training is different or players really want to play for him?
Could it be that he makes plenty of team changes and takes players off at the right time?
Is it that he's positive doesn't make a fuss or dwell on them and doesn't use it as an excuse?
Whatever it is it seems to be working!
well now you've f*cked it haven't you

Morrison, Nelson, Doughty, Ralls, Watters? Pretty sure they’ve all picked up injuries in recent months.Quote:

No idea to be honest. Perhaps it just seems like City pick up less injuries now that the likes of Tomlin and Johnny Williams aren’t in the squad….Quote:

I doubt Morison himself is that clued up on arranging training to minimise injury, but perhaps he's more likely to take advice from others within the club with that expertise, than our previous old school managers (complete guess here, I could be miles off with that tbh).
I do remember an interesting comment from Morison after the Liverpool game, where he said that they were aware of the mental fatigue on the players after such a big event, even in those who hadn't played a full 90, so they would minimise the amount of instructions for the next game so as not to overload the players
Isaac Vassell is keeping all the squad injuries to himself
We appear to be a less physical side under Morison, that must be a direct correlation.
Not knocking him, it must be shit for him being out for so long but, in games ratio, he must be up there with the most expensive players we’ve ever had.Quote:

Andreas Cornelius played 254 minutes for us and cost us around £8m, so not far behind, although I think we did recoup SOME of that fee laterQuote:

Saying that it’s an injury prone game so would any insurance company have such a policy unless there was a huge premium?Quote:

It was pretty good all the time Morison was Manager wasn't it?
Probably because he made so many changes and geve players rest, or the training, but it feels like we had less injuries this secound half of the season?
Isaak Davies, Ralls, Morrison and Doughty are all currently injured, aren't they? Not going to include Vassell for obvious reasons.Quote:

Maybe there weren't so many injuries, because for most of the time, nobody was making any tackles...
You could have something there!Quote:
