villa4europe Posted August 5, 2022 Share Posted August 5, 2022 The club have released this on social media don't remember them doing that before, i like it, the negatives would be some sort of conspiracy theory that declaring injured players gives the opposition an upper hand but i think you can weigh that out vs hopefully stopping unnecessary negativity when the team sheet gets released in anticipation of mings and buendia being on the bench tomorrow and fans speculating mings is leaving and gerrard should be sacked if enough people see this then it should stop that kind of bullshit (and we are terrible for that kind of bullshit) interesting to see how this develops 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm for this kind of news, but just a shame the first time they've done it it relates only to players that would have had a valid shout to being in the starting 11. Will be interesting to see where this goes. More helpful when we've had someone out for months after being supposedly only injured for "a couple of weeks". 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DakotaVilla Posted August 6, 2022 Share Posted August 6, 2022 Don’t see a downside to this. Good that the club are being more transparent to help avoid some of the crazy talk that otherwise would occur. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah the admin would have had a torrid time explaining the ups and downs of Ross Barkley and JG return to fitness that season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Picking players based on opposition etc.. If we keep them guessing who will start, how will they set up then that can give us a little edge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vive_La_Villa Posted August 6, 2022 Share Posted August 6, 2022 I think they did it because of all the rubbish being posted everywhere about Gerrard not fancying these players so didn’t take them to France. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
est1874 Posted August 6, 2022 Share Posted August 6, 2022 (edited) Yeah I don't think they'll be doing it every single week. Periodically maybe when there are fresh niggles etc to major players. Edited August 6, 2022 by est1874 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zab6359 Posted August 6, 2022 Share Posted August 6, 2022 It’s a great idea to keep fans updated on injuries but If someone is back in training and available I don’t think they need to let us know, I just want to hear updates on current injuries on those not available for selection.
