Incoming? Kalvin Phillips

Apart from taking the team for a week long piss up instead of training before the Play Off Final v Palace….and then wondering why the team played like they’d been on the piss for a week.

And whilst pissed telling some players they'd be fucked off if we won

He talked a lot about players not being fit when he came back in last season, and seemed to be lamenting that pre-season wasn't intense enough under Selles.

Friendlies are where the actual work happens in pre-season. Most players don't even make 90mins in them, and they're always fairly pedestrian. My understanding is that Wilder gets the players doing a lot more physical work in the gym and the training ground, and whilst I know we've called out how often players tend to break down under him, I think he values players that can go full-tilt for 90mins so that reflects on how he organises pre-season.

God knows what Selles had them doing last summer...

Oldest managerial trick in the book to buy time, come in and suggest the players aren’t fit enough!

Been done since the year dot

This signing ,loan whatever, can go a number of ways. He becomes a cult hero after not missing a game and playing through injuries etc. Yea no!!! He does well in most games, has a big impact on the younger lads, probable.
Makes about half the games, good but has lost a step and not the impact we had hoped, most probable. Only plays a handful of games, career over.
It's a risk bringing him in and I hope he has a major impact on and off the field. It's all up to him.

I'd be fine with adding him as another midfield option. But if he's meant to replace Peck then I'll be worried.
