Quite. It seems like Sam's knee problems require a bit of managing and, while the club succeeded in doing that in the second half of last season, it's proved rather more problematic over the summer and in pre-season.It's strange how he managed to play a few months of continuous games last season and the knee held up well. It's really frustrating for us but even more so for him.
One imagines, in a situation such as this, they're learning all the time and that, moving forward, once the knee has settled they'll be better placed to ensure the same issues don't arise again. To be clear, this isn't in any way intended as a criticism, it's simply a casual observation apropos what the situation might be.
Certainly, Sam was exceptional in the second half of last season so we have to hope that moving forward we learn to manage his knee problems.
