Personally I reckon the physio will have said...

....Robinson CAN play if he himself thinks he can. Then it will have been up to Worthy to decide whether he really could from the way he gave the answer and his general body language.

Just down to experience and knowing the guy in question well (which of course in this case he doesn't).

        yeah you're right, they must all be shit (NCFC) - Tweedy, Jan 3, 14:42:45
        
        I expect injuries but how many have come on the training pitch compared to injuries in (NCFC) - lovely old job, Jan 3, 14:46:22
        
        they are crap (NCFC) - Ian Henderson, Jan 3, 14:46:09
      - In that case - Sack the physio... (NCFC) - Brandonio, Jan 3, 14:40:01
        
        Funny you should say that... (NCFC) - Steve in Holland, Jan 3, 14:41:48
        
        Wouldn't be the first time in recent years the physio has been doubted, ability-wise. (n/m) (NCFC) - Arizona Bay, Jan 3, 14:41:43
    - agreed...brave effort from Robinson but much like the man he's replaced... (NCFC) - Brandonio, Jan 3, 14:37:12
  - As a coach... (NCFC) - Steve in Holland, Jan 3, 14:34:03
    - "one of those injuries which won't get any worse if you play with them" (NCFC) - Tricky Hawes, Jan 3, 14:37:59
      - Doubt it was because of cracked ribs. Must be something else going on there... (NCFC) - Steve in Holland, Jan 3, 14:40:40
        
        That's exactly what happened to Holty last season isn't it...? (NCFC) - Brandonio, Jan 3, 14:43:53
        
        No he had thoraheamoblahblah. Basically blood between lung and ribs. (n/m) (NCFC) - Steve in Holland, Jan 3, 14:47:50
        
        Yep - haemothorax not pneumothorax. (NCFC) - Arizona Bay, Jan 3, 14:53:07
        
        Tension pnuemothorax wasn't it? (NCFC) - Arizona Bay, Jan 3, 14:46:52
        
        I always thought it was a cracked rib he played through... (NCFC) - Brandonio, Jan 3, 14:49:43
        
        No not a collapsed lung. Much more dangerous actually. (NCFC) - Steve in Holland, Jan 3, 14:49:25
  - it was informed by the knowledge that (NCFC) - Tricky Hawes, Jan 3, 14:33:31
    - true his reluctance is frustrating (NCFC) - Tweedy, Jan 3, 14:35:07
      - Personally I reckon the physio will have said... (NCFC) - Steve in Holland, Jan 3, 14:38:13
        
        But Robinson isn't a man thinking straight IMO...them sort of decisions are best... (NCFC) - Brandonio, Jan 3, 14:41:16
