No Field (that I saw)....could have been carrying a ankle/knee issue for a couple of matches - needed treatment during games recently. One of those guys who plays with a knock.

Balogun doing well after that double amputation you mentioned a few weeks ago
Is that Kelli from the u18’s watching on? Good that different squads are there at the same time? Plus great tactic of having no goalkeepers. Even Sinclair seemed to score!
We have seen Laird at these training vids before, yet he never made the bench. Kakay is, I would assume out as a precaution as per the rules so, I expect him back before Laird.
I did like the session of trying to beat two players at the end. I notice it was Paal and Chair so, I assume they are doing extra as they are the furthest away from fitness.
Still the same old problem with pros. no shinpads in training. Why should they wear them? Well apart from the obvious to avoid some stupid training ground injury, the main reason is that's whats needed in the real game.
Pros will often say "well I practice better without them, learning new skills". Wrong, you improve yes and then it all goes wrong when on the day you have to put them back on. Train for the real game, not some fantasy land.
The real game requires them so, train for that. Just like the exercise where they have to beat two players, that is a really good practice exercise. That's what we want when you are up against it to use your elite pro skills to get out of the situation.

I really don't understand why so many professional players these days seem to wear very small shinpads that don't provide any proper protection against injury. They are only 1 bad tackle away from a career ending injury.

Was going to say something similar - players basically don't wear shin pads anymore in games, so why bother in training. The things they wear are so small it's like putting a matchbox down your sock.
Reality is, a shin pad won't do anything if you get a leg breaker, I suppose. Most injuries are muscle related.

And bone related or lack of back bone to be more precise!!!
AND WHEN I DREAM , I DREAM ABOUT YOU AND WHEN I SCREAM I SCREAM ABOUT YOU!!!!!
This all kinda goes back to something I said about the media team not helping themselves. Why not just say 'inside training' and let the viewer/fan comment how they want rather than jumping on a phrase that GA used? Will just cause more problems if we are made to believe that things will change and if we lose again. Just setting everyone up for a big fall.

" So that the ball can falollop out to the wingers and a very fine trittly how in a run and drop-kick and carry one and shooting in the goal if they can get by without an offsiger which is known on the ref and don't throw the bottload because he's only doing his best." (Stanley Onion or Unwin, I'm not sure which).

I noticed Khadra for Birmingham didn't wear shinpads last weekend. Who was the last player for QPR not to wear them? Stainrod? Bowles? Thomas? Ainsworth?
Last season's poor run started BEFORE Seny, Willock injured
Football's funny isn't it, whereby a perceived truth becomes THE truth after a while!
We'd certainly gone into a definite slump, which WartFace apparently didn't have the right powerpoint to get us out of, but I don't think we were anywhere near as bad as now.
I think that's more about there being different types and levels of bad. If we could get back to the old bad that would be serious progress!...

Hmm. You've tried this before and it's no more correct than it was last time.
To illustrate. Arsenal recently failed to win in 4 consecutive games, losing 3. They then snapped the run. So the run was stopped quickly. But if they had lost two or three key players to injury and carried on losing, the run would have been extended and exacerbated due to those injuries. Last season, what may have just been a sticky patch was exacerbated by several key injuries happening in short succession. The truth is, we do not *know* what would have happened if Willock, Seny etc had stayed fit, but it could have been different. Certainly it's fair to suggest just having Seny in goal would have made a large differencxe considering our issues there last season.
Your version is no more truthful than the one you seek to skewer.
Equally, a bad run did start under Beale, but had he stayed, or had there been no interminible rumours, or had Willock not been at half fitness, things might have turned round much ore quickly. You're making assumptions which are no more or less true than the idea that the poor runs were down to injuries.
