Join Gary Rowett and Dave Carolan to peek behind the dressing room door and the training ground gate as we give you the insights and context into the world of football management and working inside football! With 2200 games between them, they have seen a lot - from Premier League to Non-League, countless players and staff, as well as millions of miles travelled across the length and breadth of English football. Not to mention all the training sessions, video sessions, S&C programmes, team meetings, pre-season trips and so on! There’s even a fair few pre-seasons to be reflected upon Each episode we will cover topics that perhaps most fans would like to know the reasons behind why certain things go on in football clubs -selections, injuries, transfers, results, etc. We will look to give you, the listener the context to bridge the gap between what you might think is going on and what actually is!

It seems to happen every year at every club. Sometimes its benign and there's no real effect; a few squad members who normally have limited game time that might effect the subs bench, but perhaps no real impact on the team. Or...
...its senior, important, vital cogs in the team machinery who are all struck down at the same time and the season goes from one of immense promise and potential to a tough season, possibly staring at disaster. An injury crisis can play hell with the best laid plans of everyone at the club!
So we need someone to blame done we - that's what it's about surely?!
Normally the medical department are the ones getting the brunt of the ire from all corners as some fans, coaches, executive and athletes seek the reason behind why the crisis is happening! But most of the time the medical department is just picking up the pieces from situations not of their making!
The performance and coaching departments are far more influence in how the athletes are prepared and maintained. Is the training appropriate, is the preparation work adequate to keep the squad resilient, is the periodisation of the season appropriate? The coordination of performance and coaching has a huge bearing on wether the crisis is, really, a crisis!
And of course the athletes must take their share of the responsibility - they need to work hard, rest well, eat correctly and ensure their recovery time is used appropriately - not too much extra curricular activities!!
So join us as we discuss how an injury crisis manifests and what we can do about it - if anything!!
