Did I see a picture recently seeming to suggest that James had shed a load of weight? I think his bulk, and the associated forces on his joints, is one of the factors that leads to the recurrence of his injuries. Chilwell on the other hand has only become injury prone since joing us. He had a couple of bad ankle injuries back in 2018 but then missed only 9 games over the next three years while playing for Leicester. The recent hamstring issues are more than likely a result of his body subconsciously reacting to protect the more serious cruciate injury. Whether that will continue to be an issue who knows, but I'm not about to fling him out with the bathwater at this stage. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Floyd25 Posted October 17, 2023 Share Posted October 17, 2023 Getting beyond fed up with these injuries now, you can’t have a club captain that never plays, should’ve made Silva captain for the season and then analysed it again next season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
My Blood Is Blue Posted October 18, 2023 Author Share Posted October 18, 2023 Reece James is starting to become a bit of a liability to be honest, much like Chilwell on the other side. We base so much of our game on the way James plays his game, that whenever he’s out, we have to readjust, although the signing of Gusto does minimise this a bit more than previous seasons.

In the past I'd agree but with Poch's arrival we've transitioned away from our FB/WB's being as influential in our build up play. Whether that's been intentional and would've happened regardless, or if it's been an adjustment that's come due to both first choice options being out, it's certainly been a notable change.

Sleeping Dave Posted October 18, 2023 Share Posted October 18, 2023 Is this the time when we are seriously considering whether we can ever get a full season out of James and Chilwell? It is beyond worrying that two of our best players are out injured at least 30-40% of a season... 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, we have gone to playing 2 or 3 Kante's in midfield. I suspect that was aways the plan - at least it was certainly the budget. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
