Cuvelier injury...

[B&W Blood]

Just listened to the sports news on radio joke and unsurprisingly they never mentioned anything about the injury,no update,no info about what the injury was,no info about how long he is expected to be out,never even mentioned Vale.

or is it the moulded boots players wear now

 

I agree, the opposition players havent been injured , i know for a fact one of our players "tampers" with his own boots and is the reason for his injury.

I dont buy into the idea that the pitch is to blame. Besides over the course of the week players spend more time on the training pitches which I dare say will not be as good as our home pitch.

[Coskickabo]

My point is that in the last 2 matches 2 players have been injured because of the pitch and I dont think that is acceptable.

 

WHO says that they were injured because of the pitch?

Lines said on twitter. Plus both Duffy and Cuvelier pulled up without a challenge, could be boots as suggested could be the pitch.

It would guess he wouldn't be assessed until today because I'm sure they said they'd need at least 24hrs for it to calm down before making a diagnosis.

 

I just hope it's good news.

I did my knee in years ago when they first came out the moulds a down both sides so when you turn on soft grass they stay there and your body turns the round normal studs turn with you cause there's only 4 round studs my daughter plays for sjoke and she's changed hers for that reason

Are modern Pro boots suitable for all types of pitches, probably designed for firm pitches with excellent drainage, which quite often are watered before and even at half time. Whereas with the recent weather, pitches like the Vale become difficult, and require specialist or old fashioned studs, or even a change of boots.

The blades are a solid strip of plastic that stops you turning quickly I was looking at Nike muricul and there's no protection on top of the foot and they are blades players need to go back to boots that protect them to an extent instead of trying to look good in flashy slippers

The boots they wear in the premier league seem to make you fall over when in the penalty area for no apparent reason. If lads are getting injure on heavy pitches it must be their boots not the pitch as these have been played on for decades with little or no injury caused until todays flashy boots with the dangerous blades on them.

Don't know what type of boot's Cuvelier was wearing at the time.But Fergie wanted a ban on bladed boots a while ago.

From the picture in the sentinel they look like blades

I believe if you look a bit more you will find that there are Nike Mercurial boots (for example) for different surfaces. Some only have blades. others, for soft pitches, have studs as well. I'm no expert but it may be that the players need to have better advice on which boots they wear. Or it may just be one of those things that happen in a game of football.

Any news or tweets from him?

Thanks Doha. Hopefully some crazy results soon. Hope he is ok as he struck me as a class player who clearly wasn't match fit.
