Well lets hope Benteke is a success then!!

Johnny will return

It's time for appiah to shine so I hope he's used

I cant believe that our constant injuries are all just bad luck! Its almost as soon as a player puts on a palace shirt he gets injurd!
3 games in and Cabaye is knackered. One training session and Remy is knackered and how long until Wickham is knackered?
Im sure someone who loves stats will prove it is all run of the mill, but it doesn't look like that to me. The whole training/physio set up may need to be seriously looked at.

Following Palace since 25 Feb 1978

Cabaye and Remy are at the stage in their careers where problems are going to lead to retirement, bad injuries often put pressure on other parts of the body through compensation movement and when in a situation of being so finely tuned as all players are now these particular players are at an disadvantage due to this, they really need much much longer to recover and are always brought back too soon, + bad injuries have an awful psychological effect on the injured because they will forever be worried about the movement of their injured parts and that can in many situations actually lead to a bad movement and another injury.
Next time you trot down the stairs look and think about what your feet are doing and you could end up a mess at the bottom!...don't do it.

I think you're right. I know it could be a bit blinkered, but I really don't remember this many injuries in the 90's. How many Darren Anderton's are there in our team, let alone the prem!

Better diets, less matches (smaller leagues and less replays), so why is there such any endemic of injuries?

8 of the 25 are out injured. Also take out the 3rd keeper and that's over a third of the squad not available and we're having to include Flamini who last kicked a ball in anger months ago. Something is amiss somewhere.
