Hello negativity.... we've been expecting you
It’s interesting isn’t it. Up until now Holloway has been very positive and chipper, whereas Day has been Dr Doom to some extent. Wonder if the club have asked Holloway to reign it in a bit to lower expectations? In truth I suspect every manager is moaning about fixtures, they all seem to do this even though everyone will play the same amount of games as each other. Perhaps clubs should’ve tabled a motion to abort the pointless checkatrade game, especially as clubs at league 1 and 2 will naturally be hindered by the whole mess of the last few months. I do appreciate the EFL really don’t seem arsed about doing anything to help it’s members though. I don’t buy in to the whole male private swinging thing thoigh or who’s job is hardest etc and footballers shouldn’t moan, they only work 2 days a week and all that nonsense. They do work hard, it’s just a different way of working. It’s a bit like many professions recently, ways of working and hours of working have had to be adapted. That’s just how it’s been. |

balderdash that professional footballers can't play two games a week. You train less frequently to compensate for the rest needed.
Saturday- game.
Sunday- stretching and recovery
Monday- lighter training session(s)
Tuesday- game
Wednesday- stretching and recovery
Thursday- full training session(s)
Friday- lighter training session(s)
Saturday- game
Repeat.
Sat-start work 6 -2 quick lunch game at 3 5pints Sun am game then 5pints-gardening - 5pints Mon.-6-6work training - 5pints Tues ditto Wed. ditto Thurs. ditto Fri. ditto 10pints. Sat-start work 6-2 quick lunch game at 3 5pints Sun am game then 5pints-gardening - 5pints That's 4 games in 9 days and I'm 75 and riddled with arthritus - possibly caused by the gardening. |

So it goes on for seven weeks if we progress in the Carabao cup? There's your solution right there.

May I suggest you try nursing 12 hours a day, especially in the current climate, then you can talk about "very demanding and it takes its toll on the body" or you can just ask my wife. 
All this talk on who works the hardest is won by your wife arry how they manage with all that PPE must be very hard and they all have my respect. |

It's not a run about in a muddy field and then down to the pub for a few pints anymore (except maybe when Newell was in charge!).
If the anecdotes of a Paul Linwood are to be believed, it was largely the other way round. |

Ollie has slammed the amount of games to be played over the first several weeks, saying that playing saturday and tuesdays is way too much for players. I'm probably on my own here, but to work for 3 hours a week playing 2 games isnt exactly rocket science to me, and getting paid a full weeks wage for that. I admit they do a few hours more training, but i cant get it into my head that its similar in Premiership where Klopp and others moan that its too much for their players too for too many games in a week. 2 games= 180 minutes,3 bloody hours. I understand that a footballers career can be short, but its their career choice, and know what the outcome is. Maybe im missing something here, ive worked all my life, and sometimes doing 60 hours a week, and now at 65+, am looking forward to my state pension come next january. All i can say is.... Man up guys, 3 hours of sweat isnt a lot to ask for each week, well, for 7 weeks. I lost the interest of players when agents got involved. In my earlier days, the Club owned the players and they earnt their weekly wage, its now easy for them to be protected. End of rant, send me the red crosses, but you know im right.
But you are not working 3 hours a week. You are training all week and then trying to perform to your best ability for 2 more high intensity physical and mental situations. I won't red cross you but I don't think you are right. |

Same here Arry, Mrs works 13 hrs on average and very really gets any breaks. She was a nurse but is now an ACP (Acute Clinical Practitioner) basically a high level stoke nurse or a junior doctor. I have more respect for Nurses, Doctors, Police, Fireman and Soldiers over any over paid sad sacks. |
