Does anyone know who's got the ball? Has someone taken it home?

If we have not trained this week, that is unforgiveable. If Brian Noble has had personal problems, that is understandable.

The lack of training is a surprise, especially when we are having to win most games in the run in. It is very unprofessional and could be one of the factors that ultimately cos Calland his job. He did say he'd give them a couple of days off, but a week, that a joke.

It seems strange that when Noble was away due to personal reasons the training situation goes out of the window. Is it a case of while the cats away the mice will play.

I am currently reading some very unprofessional twitter posts from some of the players.
I'm afraid to say the endemic culture we have moaned about for some time is there for all to see.

If i were Michael Steele i would remind some of these 'boys' who is paying their wages.

We'll find out the impact tomorrow I guess.

Who's twitter are you alluding to? All i see is shock and confusion and support for Matt. Not their fault if they've been left in the lurch about things, must be hard not knowing who you'll be playing under or why its all happened.

How many days a week do you think the players train? A couple of days is nearly all week isnt it?

I do know he was maybe a little relieved in a way at Sundays loss as it saved him £15000 in bonuses!!!

I would have thought at least 2/3 times a week not including Saturday morning. Give them mon/tues off have a debrief/training weds, train thurs and then in sat for final match prep. Training schedules need to be adjusted to accommodate situations like this.

The players train tuesday, thursday and saturday.

So people are just reading more in to this than there is. They were due in Saturday morning.

So what happened with the Thursday session?

Didnt we train 5 times a week last season, just aksing? We looked fitter last season then this id say. We looked sharp last season.

Happens everyday in the private sector world, people come and go, who's my boss from one week to the next i dont know sometimes, whether i have a job next month i dont know, whether the companies going to be sold, closed. You just have to get your head down and crack on. I sincerely hope the players support Damian Ball on Sunday and give it there all, its a game we need to win, whats done is done. Move on...

Many people on here work 5 days a week full time and play sport at the weekends also, they also train midweek, 2 nights, maybe more, surely you can also see its not ideal 'if' they haven't trained this week as a team. I know many sports clubs that wouldn't pick people if they hadnt attended training, for a semi professional side not to train is a bizarre state of affairs. I dont think its a case of reading more into it than there is, were reading into it whats been reported.
