Fitness

No elite athlete should drink alxcohol or eat processsed crap during the competative season-

agreed. It should be part of their contracts outside of special dispensation for a couple of glasses of wine at Christmas and on a birthday.

In fairness, a lot of footballers nowadays just don't.

I used to live in a shared house with a WAG in the late 90s/early 2000s and her other half didn't ever outside of a summer vacation.

Just a thought and I'm not suggesting that our players all drink too much, but we know one does and he like to sit down halfway through second halves!

Does he drink a lot? I genuinely don't know as being across the pond don't pick up on all the gossip!

I'm pretty sure someone came on shoutbox getting smashed doing shots with him. He's seen out quite a lot, even if it's a family meal with bottles of wine.

Everyone involved with fitness, stamina and conditioning at the club needs to be sacked.

Half the team look dead on their feet after 60-70 minutes every game.

It's not like we play high tempo or high press.

We normally score a goal and then defend or box. Our fitness is laughable.

Bit harsh, but probably for the best interest in the club. Yep, get em gone

Hopefully there's a few u21s and behind closed door games for some players to gain some match fitness in the next 10 days

Agree with this. We've got enough not currently injured for full 11-aside games in the first team squad as well. I would be aiming to get them to play two sixty minute halves every third day of training during this break. We need to set down a marker that we will never be beaten because we have been out-run.

If only we had a 6 week pre season!

Overrated concept. Instead as a club, we seemingly like to have our 'new' squad doing our pre season training in the first international break. Just a sod weve played 4 or 5 league matches by then.

Yes I know.... my previous statement above is tongue in cheek and not strictly true...
