This. I suspect  we are really going to struggle early doors, simply because we are so far behind a number of other clubs in terms of recruitment  and fitness


Unfortunately there are a fair few of us who are not renowned  for patience. Cynicism yes...patience no!

How do you know we are far behind other clubs in fitness?

Probably because we started pre season training later than a lot of other teams.

How do you know this, or are you just guessing?

Most teams are starting with a few new players who like ours have been keeping fit on their own.

Our contract players are fit because they have been monitored by our fitness coach.

So most teams will be in the same boat as us imo.

I think it will take a few more games than usual to see who will be at either end of the table.

I trust Ollie to have us near the top by the end of the season not the begining.

When reading other forums, most teams (not all) had reported back for pre season before us and nearly all have been playing friendlies for over a week or more now.

Well on Aug 9th Trevor Green reported in the Gt that Town players were reaching new levels of fitness, having been back in training for a week. I don't think many clubs outside the PL have been training much longer than that.

The bigger issue is getting the squad to gel with the new players coming in and sorting out the system. I know we have not  had friendlies but have there been trial matches we don't know about?

Hewitt has come back ultra fit according to reports from Holloway . If the other squad members have used the lockdown in equally effective manner I’d guess that they are in good condition. It’s just match sharpness that will need to be worked on . Sure we’ll have enough games prior to league games starting to work on that .

Didnt see anyone capable of bossing/running the midfield on that show, very one dimensional, played it sideways and backwards comfortably but then went long diagonals from the back after being patient.
Some of the younger lads looked ok, Hope carried the ball ok from fullback.

Didnt create a great deal in open play, nice free kick for the first, defensive gift for the second and scrambled a corner in for the third outside of that didnt exactly carve them open.

Noticed the camera caught Ollie on a few occassions with his arms up and open in frustration.  Kick off now looks ominously close after that showing.

This seasons a write off before it even starts imo, it’s just about trying to make it through in one piece and seeing what happens next year
