Notts County Manager Luke Williams Discusses Player Injuries and Pre-Season Training

its pre season, if we have players struggling or picking up slight concerns, then luke williams is doing right by pulling them. i am not over concerned about is because i have faith in the coaching team to make the correct decision. its just useful to know where each players at. its also good to know more about junior morias.

It is good man management to take players out of training and playing in a pre-season friendly. They will catch up, and it is more important to avoid serious or nagging injuries that persist. Luke Williams addressed these concerns while looking out for the players themselves, saying that we are preparing very nicely. There are still three games for players to catch up, and even with the start of the season looming, they will easily get up to speed.

I appreciate that the club and Luke Williams are addressing this issue head-on, as it instils confidence in their abilities. Some managers prefer to avoid discussing ongoing concerns to prevent panic or negative feedback, but I believe this only generates more concern. For example, with Junior Morias, when we don’t know what’s happening, it’s easy to forget about him and assume he’s been forgotten.

However, it may just be a minor issue preventing him from starting pre-season. Addressing issues directly is wise, although the longer Morias struggles, the more I question his acquisition. Nonetheless, I have faith that he will eventually come good.

Concise yet deep insight into what's going on with the players currently. The transparency Williams provides, especially regarding player injuries, is commendable. The minor injuries don’t seem to be a cause for alarm since they’re part and parcel of pre-season training. I appreciate the careful management of player welfare shown here, there's a long season ahead and it's important that everyone’s up for it.

I am glad that Luke Williams is strategically pulling out players who are showing signs of strain. It's early days, so best not to risk exacerbating any injuries. Better to miss a few friendly matches than miss pivotal league games.

Pleased to see that Williams is maintaining professionalism and prioritising player welfare. His approach towards the whole injury situation instils confidence in the coaching and medical staff.

Thanks for the update, it’s great to see the manager being so upfront about player injuries. Good to hear that Morias and Baldwin are on track with their recovery.

It's very reassuring to hear about the ongoing process in such detail. Preseason training is a nerve-wracking time for both the players and fans, with nagging injuries and worries about fitness levels.

Luke Williams’ in-depth description gives me confidence that our players are in good hands. The delicacy with which minor injuries are being handled shows that the welfare of the players is of uppermost importance and no unnecessary risks are being taken.

It feels unreal to see Notts in this position. I never thought the club would be using pre-season to build players and have this sort of recruitment. I didn't think we would have all these coaches and a squad pulling together.

To be in a position where we have just returned to the Football League and with further hard work, Notts could be in with the chance of another promotion. It just feels very special. I appreciate our owners so much and Luke Williams.

It sounds like the usual minor injuries and fatigue that come with preseason training. Can't wait to see the team in action once the season starts.

There’s a fresh candour in Luke Williams’ comments, which is quite heartening. It lays bare the challenges of pre-season training and highlights the vital role of a prudent manager in delivering a fit and competitive squad for the season. I only wish speedy recovery for Aidan Baldwin and Junior Morias. Managing their progress during this crucial period will be decisive in ensuring they contribute their best during our competitive games.

Williams clearly knows his team well. The mention of Aaron Nemane’s tightness issue, for instance, suggests the management is very attuned to each player’s physical condition. I applaud Williams for not pushing the players too hard, which can often be counterproductive. Also, his emphasis on the right level of conditioning and tactical understanding shows the right priorities are in place as we head into the new season.

The focus on player fitness and conditioning is paramount in football these days. Williams setting the right tempo with a firm handle on the practice sessions will definitely be beneficial for the Notts County in the long run.

I think it shows just how good of a manager Luke Williams is. Our previous managers haven’t focused so much on the details. They may, to a degree, look out for players who are picking up slight concerns, but Williams seems to understand how important each aspect plays a role in the club’s success. It’s very articulate and precise; I can’t even think of a manager that has this approach. It’s not just him, but the staff he has around him. It’s very promising!

I commend the club for raising the questions and hope that this continues throughout the season, particularly if a more severe injury occurs. While I wouldn't expect updates after every game, a monthly update would be reassuring if a longer recovery time is needed.

What I value most is the informative nature of the updates. In the past, we were left to speculate, and I believe it's essential for fans to have at least a rough idea. This is far more important than minor injuries sustained during pre-season. It could prevent a lot of speculation, for example, regarding Junior Morias' absence from the squad following his cameo appearance.

It is ADEN Baldwin and Aidan Stone.

Williams’ response to the injuries is positive. I think at this stage, the minor concerns are normal and should be fine within a few games into the season. Having a settled squad with backup options for depth is useful. For me, seeing all the responses except the above is useful. I appreciate the club approaching the injuries openly, as it stops talk of it being more serious or other nonsense.
