Far too often in the past two seasons we have been beaten , not by better teams , but by fitter ones who have lasted out the full game much better than we have. And superior fitness also tends to bring added confidence with it, so perhaps we might manage more crosses into the box from promising situations instead of the ball ending up back with our keeper without the opposition touching it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plonk Posted June 18, 2018 Share Posted June 18, 2018 Think with the players we have and an obviously improved fitness regime I can not see us having our recent bad start again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest wilyfox Posted June 18, 2018 Share Posted June 18, 2018 Hopefully players have stuck to their regimes. Bannan always returned carrying some timber, then played his way to fitness. Hoping for a better approach this time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swiss Toni Posted June 18, 2018 Share Posted June 18, 2018 Rightly so. It’s no secret that the players got off a little lightly under Carlos in pre-season with them leaning towards a heavier ball-work schedule over fitness. The Championship is probably the most demanding league in Britain when it comes to fitness and physicality so good to see we should be well prepared on that front. You can understand a player having an off day performance-wise but there should be no excuse for lack of effort and fitness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
full fathom five Posted June 18, 2018 Share Posted June 18, 2018 Hopefully by having higher levels of fitness we will have less levels of injuries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prowl Posted June 18, 2018 Share Posted June 18, 2018 The first season under CC we won a lot of games with last 5 minute goals, the second season we didn't seem to. The third season we usually gave goals away at the end of games. If my memory is right it indicates the teams fitness got worse year by year. You can blame Carlos but the players must take some responsibility as well, they should take responsibility for their own fitness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sweetsheri Posted June 18, 2018 Share Posted June 18, 2018 Looks like we are starting at least 10 days earlier than last year and no golfing break on the algarve either...... Happy days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy days I guess last season we finished the season about 10 days later due to play offs so it’s all relative. But yeah no holiday camp abroad will be a good thing. Hopefully see a fitter more determined team this time round Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoop Posted June 18, 2018 Share Posted June 18, 2018 I hope Jos keeps his balls locked away for a couple of weeks. Carlos always got them out straight away Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

room0035 Posted June 18, 2018 Share Posted June 18, 2018 Fitness cannot be allowed to be used as an excuse this season, fitter players will go hand in hand with hopefully less injuries too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
