Why Did Blackburn Rovers Have So Many Injuries?

Blackburn Rovers suffered one of the worst injury records in the Championship last season.

Most supporters put it down to bad luck.

We think that's too simple.

In this episode of The Blackburn End Podcast, we take a deep dive into the real reasons behind Rovers' injury crisis and examine

whether the warning signs were there long before players started breaking down.

From recruitment and squad planning to player durability, availability records and workload management, we explore the catalogue of decisions that contributed to Blackburn's lengthy injury list.

We discuss:

⚽ Why Blackburn suffered so many injuries

⚽ Whether the injury crisis was actually predictable

⚽ Recruitment and player durability

⚽ The risks of relying on injury-prone players

⚽ Squad depth and availability

⚽ The role of coaching, medical and football decisions

⚽ What Rovers can learn going forward

This isn't a podcast about bad luck.

It's a podcast about decisions.

So were Blackburn simply unfortunate, or did the club create the conditions for an injury crisis themselves?
