Coltrane Posted December 18, 2017 Share Posted December 18, 2017 40 minutes ago, lincolnowl said: I’d say the fact we aren’t able to sustain a decent tempo for 90 minutes suggests we aren’t fit enough. When people talk about our lack of physicality, although players who can bench 100kg for warm up and do the 100m in sub an hour and half would be nice, it’s their lack of durability that concerns me. Anyone who who went to pre-season and didn’t admire the beer gut on Bannan and Hooper to name two is a liar. Dave is looking svelte these days as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not saying Palmer is the authority on such matters but considering he played the vast majority of his career in the Premier League where you have to be physically fit, I value his opinion more than I do yours. Isn't there a reason he needed major heart surgery at 50? Maybe because he over stretched himself as a player? Maybe not the best person to ask about how fit someone should/shouldn't be.

For a start, Carlos brought in both Reach and Joao at massive fees and salaries so shouldn't be missing sitters. Secondly, the injury crisis you and he blame has been created by new medical team Carlos imported in the Summer. And it also is nothing, relatively , compared to Blades for example. Also, CC has to be judged over 2.5 seasons , not last few games, and we are now back to same place when Gray was sacked. But this after £25 million spent on players and highest net expenditure on transfers this season in Championship. Plus his £20,000 per week. Come on. You're gonna look daft if he's canned or we get into a relegation scrap. And so will I if he gets us into top 6 - but I'd really welcome that.

I'm asking the question that's all. I'm no expert on heart problems but when you look at the amount of players who played in that era that need operations earlier than expected it makes you wonder doesn't it.

fred mciver Posted December 20, 2017 Share Posted December 20, 2017 Lawrie, While I disagree on most of your above points, of course name calling's daft. That said, some of CC's excuses now are a real insult so he's provoking some fans. I think most of us just want best for our club where main problem is recruitment - which if Carlos has not done, he's signed on with that contract extension. I also don't like his agents Doyen trying to nick our best youngster for nowt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
