OxonOwl Posted May 15, 2018 Share Posted May 15, 2018 Nothing wrong with warm weather training but Jos knows he has a lot of work to do and he knows travelling wastes a couple of days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dazaston Posted May 15, 2018 Share Posted May 15, 2018 Looks like I've got to put up with the missus instead of sunning it up in Portugal again. O well 2 weeks away with the family it is then 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get 'em in Greno' Woods. What's Tony Toms doing these days? He must be in his 70's now but I bet he is still fitter than some of the players were last season.

Guest Posted May 15, 2018 Share Posted May 15, 2018 Well done Jos. No more jollies. They have had a good summer break to do that and its refreshing to see a manager who as his priorities right. He identified immediately the poor level of players fitness and he obviously isn't going to go down that road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cowl Posted May 15, 2018 Share Posted May 15, 2018 We've started three seasons slowly under CC - the third slow start was unforgivable, but I don't doubt that had CC still been managing us we'd have started next season slowly; the fitness of the squad isn't a priority for him, and he'll proudly never change. So it's great that JL really seems to mean business about addressing the fitness of the squad by cutting out the unnecessary from the preparations. I suppose we'll find out during August just how much JL's changed things at the club, but I really like this leave-nothing-to-chance approach.

Sticky belly Posted May 15, 2018 Share Posted May 15, 2018 That's music to my ears. If we have a really fit squad, and we can keep our best players, i'm convinced we can have a really good go this year. Warm weather training in 'Saudi green' sounds ideal to me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Tom Posted May 15, 2018 Share Posted May 15, 2018 Never understood the point of ‘warm weather training’ for EFL. First and last games of the season are t-shirt weather if you’re lucky; literally the other 96% you freeze yer absolute bollards off. THAT’S THE RULE. ‘Warm weather training’ is the football equivalent of diving for rubber bricks in your pyjamas. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DuttyTeabags Posted May 15, 2018 Share Posted May 15, 2018 The Dutch Meggo! The Dutch Wilko. No messing around. Plus sitting on planes etc. is medically proven to tighten hamstrings which is why we've avoided the Premier League and chance of European football for 20 years, and why we have such a brilliant recent injury record.

marshy Posted May 15, 2018 Share Posted May 15, 2018 I'm not too sure that the travelling wastes that much time. Austria, Holland, Germany isn't that far by plane. Even old Carlos managed to train the 1st night on the jolly boy's outing. I'd have had them running up and down the Swiss Alps fully clad in laderhosen chasing cows. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shezzas left peg Posted May 15, 2018 Share Posted May 15, 2018 Looks like we'll be driving round Yorkshire then, playing the dingles, toy town, Huddersfield,donny, Halifax etc... One way to make pre season competitive and harder, play a load of local derbies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owlinmad Posted May 15, 2018 Share Posted May 15, 2018 A week round Pitsmoor dodging bullets and crazed knife men will do them the world of good (other areas are available). 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DNS Posted May 15, 2018 Share Posted May 15, 2018 At least one game against decent and realistic PL opposition would be good, someone like Everton or Burnley. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZicoSterland2 Posted May 15, 2018 Share Posted May 15, 2018 Get them down to the Brecon Beacons where the SAS train. Then friendlies against Hereford Shrewsbury and Wolves. That would sort the men from the boys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
