So sounds non-contact and he was in a lot of pain, never a good sign. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators Casino Posted August 11, 2020 Moderators Share Posted August 11, 2020 From our media bloke In the latter stages, Politic went down in some distress with a serious injury which saw him ultimately stretchered off the field after receiving treatment for a number of minutes. A real sour end to a largely positive afternoon for the third fixture of pre-season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meanderson93 Posted August 11, 2020 Share Posted August 11, 2020 We're actually cursed. Hopefully we have a different medical staff these days or certainly they've improved. Not heard good things about how they've dealt with such injuries in the past. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnnyrotten Posted August 11, 2020 Share Posted August 11, 2020 It really is unbelievable if true - but also very predictable. It always seems to be the best players, last year it was Crawford not to mention Bridcutt in a season that only lasted 6 months for the seniors. Fingers crossed for him.

Naytch Posted August 11, 2020 Share Posted August 11, 2020 Fucks sake. Are we not allowed any periods of positivity at this football club? Gutted for the lad if it's a bad one. He would have had a key role to play this season, fingers crossed its not as bad as initially thought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the issue, players like Mark Davies, Holden, Sean Davis and even Wheater over the years have had very poorly handled recoveries, I hope the medical team since then has been changed or improved drastically.

That's always been a puzzle for me too. The only one I can think of that got badly injured that wasn't a top level player for us was Tierney. People saying its part and parcel of the game, I can only recall it happening to Jeff Chandler and Simon Coleman in the 80s/90s, it seems to have become common in the last 10 or 15 years, I could be wrong.

Mantra Posted August 11, 2020 Share Posted August 11, 2020 Huge shame for Politic, hopefully it's not as bad as first feared. And it's better happening now than in the first game of the season, but if it's a 9 monther then I suppose it makes no real difference. Fingers crossed that isn't the case. On the plus side, it gives us time to take stock and find a replacement if necessary. We're fortunate now that we actually have depth to cope too. Hope that's our bad luck all used up now!
