Cause those thighs injuries are so bad the heal from and so easy to go again.

I had a grade 2 strain on my thigh while I was running which I suspect this is 10 weeks later I was healed ready to do light running again which I did for a month then I was able  to do 10ks again.

Low and behold two 10ks later it tore again same place and was now a grade 3!8 months it took to heal and I didn't run for 12 months.

With him being a footballer more chance of him getting a knock on it again if he is back for October then he has healed very well.

I had a grade two calf tear - freak injury at a boot camp - was around a three month recovery. Hopefully it won't re occur - mine didn't - just smashed other bones to make up for it :)

Sorry to hear that - a grade two was horrible - can't imagine what a three must have been like

Absolute joke that we have yet another player out with yet another injury which will keep him out for over a month.

And before anybody tries the “but, but, b b b b b b b b b but, but….any player can get injured” excuse, I accept that. What I can’t accept and can’t understand is why we consistently have players picking up injuries which rule them out for lengthy periods like this. I’ve said this before but the words “speedy recovery” have got to be the most used on our social media platforms over the last two years. It’s beyond ridiculous now.

You have to conclude that this is down to us signing players whom we know are crocked before we sign them (the most likely scenario, imo) or we are doing something wrong in training or relating to fitness, preparation, nutrition and so on. 
 

No harm whatsoever to Jordan McGhee or indeed any of the many players we have had that have suffered injuries that have kept them out for long periods over the last two years and indeed I do wish him a “speedy recovery” but this has happened to too many players and for too many lengthy layoffs for it to be simply put down to bad luck or “any player can get injured”.

If it had been the same manager I could see the point but askou just in and to be honest this is the only injury we have had, well ox also.   Mcghee played a lot near the end of season so I think this has just been unlucky

Totally agree.  Not the new manager’s fault as McGhee had already signed a pre-contract agreement some time ago.  But, yes another drain on the wage bill that can’t contribute.

Cosgrove was terrible at Aberdeen and then went on a mad run of good form out of nowhere.

Honestly, you'd have to imagine that it was a one off since there has been little sign of him repeating it.

 

I agree with this, I always thought he was a big diddy, but he sustained it enough for Aberdeen to make a few quid.

Livingston and Ross County interested in him too 

If this is genuine and if he's any good, I'd like to think that we would be able to offer him a better deal than those two. Also, we should be seen as the better option for young players looking to launch their career.

Its hypothetical of course given that this is simply a rumour. However, you could imagine a scenario where we offer a young lad a one year deal on say £750 pw (just making this up) and Livingston offer him a 2 year deal on say £700 pw. I suspect Ross County will be paying Premiership wages, but not every young lad want to relocate to Dingwall.

He's already done a loan spell at Ross County as far as I'm aware - last season 

Which was cut short by injury apparently. Only fair to mention given the chat about McGhee being a typical Kettlewell crock signing. Not suggesting we shouldn't be looking at him but just worth saying given the angst on here when we sign someone with a recent record of injury...
