Notts County Manager Luke Williams Discusses Pre-Season Injuries and Stoke City Friendly

i am not too concerned about the injuries, its pleasing to know jodi was not injured but was resting due to only just coming back. i think the squad is big enough that we can focus on getting them fit and ready before the season starts. hopefully, then we can try to keep the players fully fit as much as possible.

i would not risk any against stoke but i do hope to see jr morias play at some point.  

It’s good that Luke Williams is keeping us informed because it prevents misinformation from being spread or rumours from starting to speculate that certain players might already be on their way out. There hasn’t been too much of that, but Junior Morias’ ongoing injuries and absence might start to raise questions.

As I said, it’s good to know and everything seems to be transitioning well towards the actual season. We have a few big games, with Stoke and then Forest, but I think we have the depth and squad to be competitive in those without risking injuries.

I am impressed by Williams' approach and attitude towards the pre-season injuries and the match with Stoke. It's clear that he has strong leadership skills.

The Stoke City match will be a great opportunity to test the team’s resilience. No points or titles on the line, just pure football.

I admire Williams' practical approach. Accepting minor injuries as part of the pre-season is important. He does not let these incidents sway his positive outlook.

Williams' confidence, despite the pre-season injuries, gives me a lot of hope for the upcoming season. Can't wait to see the boys back in action, showing the same energy and passion that they exhibited last season.

I am quite reassured by Sam Slocombe's injury status. It seems pretty minor, and his recovery should be swift. We could do with him back in full fitness as soon as possible! I do think Aidan Stone looks like a comfortable backup keeper, which takes the stress off the club from needing to find cover if Tiernan Brooks is to go out on loan.

Happy to hear the sense of excitement from Williams at having the fans back in the stadium. Can't wait to be a part of the atmosphere at Meadow Lane again.

Exciting times ahead! Williams approach and attitude towards the upcoming season and his appreciation for the fans spark optimism. It’s a testament to the strong unity within the club.

I agree with @TheSkipper how great it is to hear straight from the horses mouth about injuries and progress, Luke Williams is very honest and open.

Reading about the bond between the fans, players and staff just reaffirms why I love this club so much. Can't wait to see them back in action against Stoke City!

These are the updates that should happen when the club has a few players out. I just love how Luke Williams is open and goes about detailing the answers to questions. Notts County’s media team deserves credit for stepping things up; they have been doing great, and we are all very lucky to have everyone at the club now.

Luke says how he sees things and does well to keep us informed, I think the way he relates to us is similar to how he connects with the players. It's level sign of respect.
