On a heavy, rain-sodden pitch against the back up players of a lower league side? What could possibly go wrong?

Are the back-up players of a lower league side dirtier than those of a Premier League side?

I would say yes.Trying to prove themselves against some of the bigger names in the divisions.Not dirtier but trying a bit harder than normal.

I suspect they can't time a tackle as well and have a point to prove, as said above.

 

The 'Chungy at Newport' syndrome.

I disagree.

 

I'd say if an injury is going to happen then it's going to happen. If they are ready to start playing then they're ready to start playing. You can't start picking and choosing which teams to pit them against. Maybe Oldham's reserve central midfielders are a couple of Chris Eagles whilst, say, Man Utd's are a couple of budding Paul Scholes. I think I know which would be most likely to inflict injury..

 

If they're not fully healed then they shouldn't be playing anyway. Playing matches should be about regaining match fitness, not about rehabilitation.

Like 'Jonny Evans at Old Trafford' too?

 

Shit happens.

Why does the "need to impress" seem to have to go hand-in-hand with "more likely to injure someone else" ?

 

Is that what impresses managers? Lunging dangerously into tackles?

FA Cup ties would be furiously fought affairs if that were the case

It doesn't.But being less talented and not being able to time a tackle properly makes it more likely that injury will occur

Apparently he injured himself falling out of the transfer window.

Heard it was a serious paper cut?
