Max Wright

Quoted from golfer

This is quite a sensible suggestion Davec.  . Hypermobility  or  E.D.S. can cause all sorts of problems in the joints and can eventually lead to arthritis although the joints can stiffen with age to make them more stable. but sitting in the same position  ( eg on a coach ) can be detrimental. Light exercise after coach journey can be beneficial to sportsmen.    Dr  Golfer Bs Hio Fcp  

So he should do what I used to do when I played ., Go to away matches on his bike !

Quoted from lew chaterleys lover

In this weeks interview Hurst said Max was running ok, as indeed he was before the Kiddie game when he was scheduled to play till he "felt something. "

We all have things that aren't 100% but still go to work.  Would playing through it be a possibility? It can't be that serious as he keeps returning to training.

Of course you have all the usual caveats that a top level athlete likes to be confident he is 100% but he wont be a pro footballer much longer unless he can find a solution.

Totally different thing from going into work feeling off colour.

The scan that followed proved that he did indeed feel something.

I guess that's why I put the caveat.

We can afford to pay his wages whilst he gets back to full fitness when you think about the extra income generated by the great displays this season,part of which he was involved in.
His goal against Wrexham shows what he's capable of.
If you look after your employees they tend to repay you with loyalty and better performance.
Also you get a good reputation for future signings.
I'd give him this season and go from there.

Yes I heard that but nonetheless he was back running and seemed ok a few days later.

Is what he is feeling bad enough to stop him trying to play through it is the point I am making.

I am a big fan of his ability but we wont be able to keep a player that is not on the field regularly enough which would be a crying shame.

I’m a big fan of the Undr The Cosh podcasts and almost every single player on there says they played most of their careers with some kind of injury. Stewart Downing said last week that Sturridge used to pull out if he ever felt anything which is why he’s deemed as ‘injury prone’.

I’ve no doubt Max has the desire but surely ‘feeling something’ isn’t a reason in itself to pull out. At some point he’s going to need to risk things or he’ll be without a club in the summer which would be a crying shame.

Rugby players keep muscles flexible and warmed up with exercise bikes at pitchside.

Does he need to have leg warmers or similar when sat in the dugout, and a repeat touchline warm up at set periods during the game to avoid cramp or overtightness?

I saw an interview with Paul Merson years ago where he said he only played about 20 games in his career where he felt good. Most games there's a niggle or something and you just have to play through it.
