A training day doesn't need to be all physical does it? Having the players in at the club for longer periods and keeping them together whether training , doing skill sessions ( by god do we need more of that ) , doing video work or even R&R must help create a team spirit. Much better than just turning up doing a session/playing a game and going home. Probably easier to control those that are most likely to have lifestyle issues as well.

Don't all players have to come in before training to have breakfast together everyday and do tests and get weighed a couple of times a week before training?

Haven't thought we looked unfit this year tbh, just that our skills aren't good enough.

I Personally dont think fitness has been an issue this season..theve had a go to the final whistle.....its been tactics and mentality thats done us...like iv said before,agar has to go as hes not bringing the best out of the players,his subs are bizzare etc but sometimes the players have to take some of the the flak aswell!!!

I dont think it was portrayed as being beasted for 6 days a week, I kinda sussed that....but collective as a team at work....that could infact inc a multitude of sessions, match analysis, video, individual development programs, swimming, PR work etc etc....only asking cos thats what was put over to me and prompted the question?

I don't think players could ever be considered overly fit. IF we want to have the best chance of winning then fitness plays a massive part of that. If you're fatigued you make mistakes so even if you had the skill & no-how in the first instance you'll look like a bag of e as you're too tired to perform. You fall off tackles, don't make the ground to a tackle.
personally I never get the impression that their fitness is an attribute, just that it's okay. I reckon we could raise it up a notch or two.
