Warm-ups; Do we do any?

After discussion last night, i wondered do we do any before a match, if so how good are they? We suffer more strains than most clubs and being as i do my own warming up int the pub before a game, i miss the Blues pre-match session.

So Lads and lasses. Do we prepare properly before a game. Are we professional or do we treat things like a kick around?

Or do we have a case of players crying off with strains due to our current form and dire situation.

Successful teams hardly have any injuries. Yet its amazing how many players get injured when you in the brown stuff at the bottom of the league.

Not heard anything yet, but, Marios looked like a pull, a case of not warming up properly?
Izzet, looked serious, im afraid!

What was Taylors injury? Another case of a pull, not warming up? Or lacking the stomach for a fight?

Just wondering, any thoughts?

Of course we do warm-up's but the core of the question's spot-on, why do we get so many ******* muscle injuries?

Something has to be wrong with our set-up as it's been happening since the days of Fry.

forget taylor, his was a twisted ankle so nothing in any warm up (pub or not :D ) is going to prevent that -
i got there early last night so i could give my spare ticket to blue15, and watched the pitch warm up with interest. we did almost exactly what wet spam did, but in a different order so i dont think its the warm up or warm down for that matter -
it may be something more fundamental in routine training causing weaknesses, someone said our training pitch is too hard; could be anything, but we certainly get more than our fair share..... :blink:

I remember someone on these boards commenting on the warm-up against Boror i think it was.

They stated, all we did was flicks, kick-ups, whereas, Boro stretched, ran passed the ball, generally a more professional pre-match warm-up. Just wondered whether we're still doing the same. Sat i will try nad get in ealier and see!

yeah have a look saturday mate, get a pint at the ground! its a bit more taxing than just flicking a ball about;it includes a short bout of 5-a-side even. the thing i just remembered though, is its not very "regimented" for want of a better word, and it looks like some players opt out of certain things!! maybe mee seeing ghosts where there are none :blink:

... can I make an observation.

I am a gymnastics coach and as you will appreciate, correct warm ups and gradual stretching of muscles, etc is vital in gymnastics too allow performance of agilities requiring great flexibility and to prevent serious injury.

I have watched Blues warm ups for 2 or 3 seasons now with some horror. The cardio vascular work may be OK but the stretching is usually left to individuals and is often pathetic. Its little wonder there are so many strains and tears. Interestingly, when new players arrive they often bring their routines from previous clubs. Some last, others get into the BCFC way all too soon. hamstring stretches are particularly poor.

The thing is, I only see the pre-match warm ups. If they do the same in training and a poor warm down after, then they will increase the chances of injury very significantly.

...third rate, frankly.

:D me too lets go and analyze them!!

i dont think its enough really. we do exactly the same thing every game, run up and down in lines near the paddock and then jus go into messed up passing routine! whereas i watched west hams yesterday as i sit in the railway and they had the running ladders out and some small hurdle things, so they warmed up more thoroughly as it showed when pennant, gray (although his was probably just to make fans feel he played $h!t because he was injured, not just a lazy sod!), heskey, butt were dead on their feet!!

pennant/gray/heskey - they've been injured in the run up to the game.

butt - didnt even start, hes a lazy get and needs to pull out his money grabbing finger and start performing for the duration of his playing time!

I have said this before and have been dismissed immediately but I will say it again.


Manchester United sem to suffer with a lot of the same problems- strains, tears, muscular and ham string problems mainly.


Could it be that Steve Bruce has picked up some of Ferguson's bad training habits from his time as a player there?

If he was never tought to train and warm up prperly but was part of a team that won everything, Bruce could well have brought those bad habits with him as a manager.

I know the manager doesn't conduct all training and warming up but it is all carried out on his say so.
