And yet I've heard it was the dead opposite under Hecky, with the emphasis on weights, weights, and more weights, and the injury list was possibly at its worst then.

I'm thinking more cardio than weights Greenwich, we look like we're shot after 60 minutes.

I feel that lack of fitness / injury record has been a common denominator under both Hecky and Wilder. So that issue is a bit more complicated than merely blaming the manager

I thought our fitness in the 92 point season was excellent. We’d go right to the end, and possibly the reason we won a lot of games by one goal.

Likewise with the previous promotion under Wilder.

Last season was a Selles pre-season which we never recovered from.

Let’s just see how we go once we’ve had 10 games or so before judging anything.

Yeah, I know; probably badly worded by me. What I was meaning was two different ways but both had rubbish results. One meant too many players were unavailable full-stop, the other meaning too many players are breathing out their arse after an hour.
