They seemed to cope alright.

which makes it both unfair and unsafe.

It has been an issue this season at that stadium, and AM players have complained several times. There are articles about it on t'internet. I suspect the players have been wearing different footwear for sometime. Obviously our fantastic 'advance' team failed to see them. I do wonder if we actually realised that we had an insider in our squad who could've given us all sorts of info...

Hilarious that some people still want to blame Ange for injuries that have occurred since he left the club.

The only long term injuries when Frank took over were Dragusin (ACL) and Kulu (knee injury sustained from a tackle against Palace).

I think its head in the sand time for you not to attribute the frankly ridiculous condition the squad has been in since half-way through Ange's first season. Its way beyond average for PL in all 3 seasons inc this one and killed our league campaign in all 3.

There is a difference between a player that has been passed fit to play with no issues and a player that is passed fit to play but managing long-term chronic issues. Most of our players have demonstrated an exceptionally increased propensity to miss games due to injuries and fitness and many are out long term.

Ange himself admits that injury risk is part and parcel of the way he trains and plays. Players and medical staff have adapted where he's been previously but nowhere before had the level of intense physicality, competitiveness and pace than the PL did

Kulu, Dragusin, Solanke and Udogie. Maddsion arguably as he had a break down on his come back from his own longer term injury.

Not blaming Ange just reminding you of who was missing.

if it is indeed a recurring issue then it seems many teams fell foul of lack of prep so maybe it’s not that easy to prepare for- added to that is as you say Gallagher would have known. Why would he have kept a schtum?
