Quote: Bullseye "I think fitness has actually got worse for some players (e.g Patton). I get the feeling there's discontent in the dressing room. Some are pulling their weight and some aren't and that's not going to end well as some will end up wondering why they bother if other's aren't.
Personally, if I was playing at this level and 6 or 7 of my team mates were sporting beer bellies I'd be looking for a move to a club that gave a poop.
This is why we need a change in coach now. If we wait then we'll miss the recruitment window as the season progresses and potentially lose those players who aspire to be better. Players want to know who they'll play for and want to know the club they're joining isn't a basket case. If we limp onto the end of the season and finish mid to lower table we'll have a job on to recruit anyone decent.'"
I was thinking that the other day. I can’t remember a time when our players looked so unfit compared to the teams we come up against. You sort of let it go against full timers but even the other part timers are miles ahead of us. To think of the stick Martin Clawson used to get compared to where we are at now.
