Hopefully not the only team struggling with it.
Hopefully not the only team struggling with it.Sounds like flu has claimed some more people tomorrow, Lampard sounded downbeat on that.
Lampard was asked about it before, he said it was the players choice. He didn't sound keen on having to have it.If that's the case, is there a reason why professional footballers don't have the flu jab? Genuine question.
That’s a big rabbit hole.If that's the case, is there a reason why professional footballers don't have the flu jab? Genuine question.

If there has to be a bug going round better now than when we have 4 games in 9 days.Doesn't have to be flu specially, a bad cold can absolutely wipe you out and there's nothing you can do other than wait it out.
Though the reality was that we'd already collapse in December. We only started that month second on goal difference and finished it fourth, four points off second having played a game moreI don't disagree with what you say but you won't stop we worrying. I'm still haunted by that season under Mowbray when we collapsed after Christmas.
Probably been talking to Le TissierIf that's the case, is there a reason why professional footballers don't have the flu jab? Genuine question.

I’m pretty sure about 90% of hospital doctors and nurses don’t take it either.If that's the case, is there a reason why professional footballers don't have the flu jab? Genuine question.

As a principle, unless you’re immuneo-compromised I don’t think fit and healthy people should be inoculated for common illnesses.
As I said, better this week than next.Cba with the vaccine debates. Reminds me of my Covid family Xmas again. Clearly nobody on either side going to be convinced. As for the football, very worrying that flu is running through us. They’re not an immediate recovery either as Torp has shown. Would snap your hand off for a point with that news.
Rather condescending as per, people should have choice whether or not they take a vaccine. If people choose to not take something and they get ill, you reap what you sow.You might think that but all available evidence would disagree. Any anyone who has met a nurse would know they’re hardly immune (lol) from internet madness.
I get most of that but I still felt Joe Cole didn't have the desired effect, was it beat Barnsley on a twelve game losing streak for top of the table on his debut, after being 2-0 up the losing 4- 3 or drawing 4-4?From memory it actually started in November then as you say went into December.
Also, it was an incredibly young side with zero depth and no real hope of recruiting well in January.
Beyond the Starting XI we had next to no quality. Couple that with Armstrong's form dropping off a cliff it ended up being a perfect storm for our collapse.
Flu vaccine is made based on best guesses from the southern hemisphere, can't always get it right and this year having the vaccine would probably not have helped. Got this flu about 6 weeks ago and it wiped me out for a week, our players should be more robust so you'd hope wouldn't be out for as long.This flu is wiping people out even with the vaccine and even if they are fit and healthy. Most of my colleagues have been off work for a week with it and can't get out of bed.
Now I wasn't at all confident on Ipswich. I was convinced we would lose. The Saints game, I am a lot more confident on and can well see us getting something from the gameNot confident for this one. But the last game I got confident for was Ipswich so not doing that again. Think we’re in “limp to January” mode and they’re finding their feet. One of the toughest games of the season remaining for me.
We don't have a manager that tries to defend 1-0's for 70 minutesNot that I'm that worried, but the elephant in the room is that Sheffield United were top this time last year and they didn't make it.
Going to be a decimating tomorrow. Worrying timesSo who is out/missing if George Shepherd (who has only just returned from injury himself!) is in the squad!?!!
They got 94 points last year which in most seasons pretty much guarantees a top 2 finish.Not that I'm that worried, but the elephant in the room is that Sheffield United were top this time last year and they didn't make it.
EMC said it in the presserWho said we've had a flu outbreak in the squad or is someone just putting 2 and 2 together and coming up with 5?
I get most of that but I still felt Joe Cole didn't have the desired effect, was it beat Barnsley on a twelve game losing streak for top of the table on his debut, after being 2-0 up the losing 4- 3 or drawing 4-4?
Not a criticism of his talent but just the wrong mix?
Rather condescending as per, people should have choice whether or not they take a vaccine. If people choose to not take something and they get ill, you reap what you sow.
In any case, elite athletes aren’t exactly people who need to be pressured into getting a flue jab that might not even stop getting ill. They’re fit and healthy people who aren’t gonna get seriously ill if they catch said virus.
No, this isn’t anti-vaxxer nonsense. I’m entitled to a free flu jab and got the COVID jabs pretty early, but decided against getting the jab this year.
That is bollocks. 90%? no way is that accurate, just some online bullshit. It is a surprisingly high number considering their profession and experiences but interestingly the numbers are not often published.I’m pretty sure about 90% of hospital doctors and nurses don’t take it either.

it always seems to be the ones who act holier than thou who are constantly hypocritical.
