What's going on with Campbell?

[Danetheblade]

Has he gone to fat camp?

Chris criticising another manager for squad or player fitness levels is beyond parody.

 

[3Cheers4Ramirez]

If he's come back in poor condition I'd be interested to know what his plans are regarding his next contract

League One?

Or does he think 1 half decent season in 3 years will get him another good one?

So because they had a poor fitness plan pre-season last season that means this pre-season doesn't count?

I do like Wilder's position that the fitness of this squad isn't really his fault.

Jabbed up?

I took it as he hasn't met his expectation rather than directed at a specific other manager?

Why? Wilder has bemoaned the lack of fitness for years. What's he done about it?
Sometimes you have to look inward first to solve a problem. It's very easy and very lazy to keep blasting criticism outwards whilst the same reoccurring problem still persists after years of being responsible for fixing it.

It's weird, Wilder 1.0 seemed to be proud of the fitness levels of the players and made sure they were tip top. Wilder 2.0/3.0 seems to think any fitness issue is not down to him.

I think that's the bit of him that's missing, he doesn't appear to be striving for those same levels anymore. Maybe he still is behind the scenes but we certainly don't see it on the pitch.

Eh? No. The complete opposite.
Because last summers pre season was shit, he's trying to rectify that during this one.

 

[Darren William]

So basically he has come back more unfit than the other players and requires extra training.
Does not surprise me after his “performance's” last season

 

[Darren William]

United have basicaly got to put up with him cos no cash to replace him !!!.

 

[Mario1889]

There’s no excuse for a player reporting back for pre season training out of shape and well behind his team mates in terms of fitness.

Get rid/

You say get rid like theres a big queue of people after a striker with injury and fitness issues...

Bladeloyal was telling me a week or so back that they were putting the graft in at training and Campbell looked half a stone lighter. Seems like Wilder wants the other half stone as well. Good luck with that. He seems to have lost his appetite for football but not much else.
