Player Lucas Bergvall

Anyone concerned about the lingering affects of his concussion? Had to withdraw from the national team.

Apparently can't head a ball at the moment.

Some people get concussed really easily and a few concussions can end a person's sporting career...

I don’t know if Lucas has had concussions before, but what you say is true, although I think Lucas is probably a way off the high risk zone yet.

A young, talented Aussie batsman, Will Pucovski, had to retire because he got hit in the head a number of times (whilst wearing a helmet abviously) and had to retire very young. He now suffers what he called “scary symptoms”. He did get 13 confirmed concussions mind you.
 
These are the FA's recommended concussion guidelines. Prem clubs tend to not follow it exactly but gives a good idea of the process.

Was that bloke actually aware he could use the bat to stop the ball hitting him in the head! 13!!!!

I feel a bit sorry for him, I genuinely think playing at another club and starting every week would be better for his development than whatever it is we’re doing with him.

He’s got ability but you don’t get better by not playing.
 
Meh. Off the ball he tears about like a puppy on a PCP enema. On the ball, very little composure, can carry but vision/passing is nothing special.

Like Odobert, Gray, and Tel, he should be out somewhere getting regular football under less pressure.

Just typical of the neglect and poor squad building that has left us woefully short of the top end of the PL.
