Wasting money on Aneke in January and giving him a long-term contract when we had nothing to play for that season was a mindless decision that makes less sense as time passes.
We could literally have anyone and they would have contributed more than Aneke 'the cheat code' this season.
The injuries make picking a team for Wednesday much harder than it should be added to the fact its the penultimate day before the window slams shut. You aren't going to want to risk anyone that could be going, which currently sounds like it could be anyone.
Not Garner’s choice of word, he said one will probably be a little bit longer. I would assume that’s Chuks or Inniss, from his press conference it sounds like the others are back in training or at least on the grass.
Garner told the South London Press: “The majority of the players we have out will be back within the next two weeks.
“There is probably one that will be a little bit longer, but the rest should all be back, certainly training, in the next couple of weeks.
Speaking in his Friday press conference, Ben Garner confirmed Conor McGrandles and Corey Blackett-Taylor have both been training, while Steven Sessegnon has also been out on the grass and Ryan Inniss will be assessed.
Mandela Egbo (knee) and Chuks Aneke (calf) are progressing well with their respective recoveries.

Egbo is taking much longer to return than initially thought, considering the injury happened against Dartford nearly 2 months ago

Given he missed a big chunk of pre-season, I wonder if it's a matter of not only having his ankle heal, but also getting him fully fit from a conditioning perspective. But agreed, he is taking longer than expected. Hopefully he's available for selection tomorrow, alongside Inniss and Chuks. Those three plus CBT make us a much stronger 18, and we might be at the point where there's serious competition to even get into the 18.
Plus McGrandles, who had an injury in pre season which restricted his minutes, then broke his hand meaning he missed 2 games, but was back on the bench for Bolton

I haven't seen McGrandles play much but I was very impressed with his game when Lincoln played us at the Valley last season so I'm sure there is a good player in there.
Obviously, we know about Leaburn. But what's the problem with Jaiyesimi and Lavelle?
And has Thomas suddenly gone down with something as well as he has been missing from the subs bench this last 2 games.
I think Garner wants flexibility on our bench .. Clare can fill in at centre back if required and I reckon Egbo could as well .. for me though, I always like to see a recognised defender on the bench barring injury of course, just in case
Has anyone asked Holden, the medical team, or anyone, why we have so many injuries every year, it can't just be bad luck or coincidence. It's getting beyond ridiculous, despite supposedly improving the backroom staff?

Have we improved the backroom staff though?
Do we have the right people involved (Like that Danny Murphy bloke back in 2019/20) who is ensuring that players aren't pushing their bodies beyond the limit, either because they dont know any better... Or because they don't want to, in case it ruins their place in the team and potentially their career.
If the adequate staff arent there, whats the difference between a Footballer pushing themselves too much, and some average bloke going out running every evening...
The latter can think he's looking after himself, staying fit and healthy etc. but if he's not warming up / down properly, or doesn't realise that going out every night with no breaks is doing more damage... Who is around to advise that casual runner to ease off?

Was it TS who said we’d improved the Medical Team and did he take them with him when he left or did I imagine that?

Doris the tea lady was booked on a first aiders course (allegedly).
TS provided one if his 'machines' on his arrival to aid recoveries, but whether it remains or was shown the door, I will leave someone 'in the know' to comment.

Seem to remember they got a device that detected hamstring injuries before they happened - Equally wonder if any of them left, given we have had a bit of an exodus of staff under TS

Several of the current injuries are down to impacts. Not possible to prevent in a contact sport.
Comments
Gone a bit quiet on Sess, which is weird.
Aneke and Inniss (if he is actually out for long) I mean you reap what you sow.
We could literally have anyone and they would have contributed more than Aneke 'the cheat code' this season.
Blackett-Taylor was an impact injury. Close to return.
McGrandles fractured hand. Able to play in a lightweight cast.
Garner told the South London Press: “The majority of the players we have out will be back within the next two weeks.
“There is probably one that will be a little bit longer, but the rest should all be back, certainly training, in the next couple of weeks.

Mandela Egbo (knee) and Chuks Aneke (calf) are progressing well with their respective recoveries.

I want to do an injury tracker again.
Inniss for example: https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/ryan-inniss/leistungsdaten/spieler/183284
Aneke and Egbo have of course missed all of them.
Then Sessegnon | CBT are the others so far as I'm aware.
Obviously, we know about Leaburn. But what's the problem with Jaiyesimi and Lavelle?
And has Thomas suddenly gone down with something as well as he has been missing from the subs bench this last 2 games.
Egbo (new injury)
McGrandles (new injury)
Leaburn
O’Connell
Thomas
Never far away from Aneke, Inniss or CBT missing a stretch either.
Is Jaiyesimi still injured as well?
Leaburn
Egbo
Chin
Campbell
Fraser
Asiimwe
Jones
