Mostyn6 Posted January 27, 2014 Author Share Posted January 27, 2014 My post was more on the basis that you somehow would know the exact way you could improve the fitness of a player, based on absolutely nothing. So you somehow think you know what I do or do not know about fitness coaching? Interesting. Can I ask if you have seen my CV and qualifications?

Alph Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 I'd stick by Martin. I think he's tired. I think our football (due to everyone being tired) has been a bit clumsy and it's just been a tough period for everyone. Pretty much every player has produced a poor performance in the last 5 games somewhere. We've had debates on Ward, Dawkins, Hughes, Hendrick, Wisdom, Keane, Eustace and Buxton all in the last few games. We'll get it back. These lads still play some of the better football in the entire league. They still keep within range of Houdini's dream team and ahead of Forest and Reading. If Bamford forces Martin out then so be it but I hope Mac doesn't just experiment. The tiredness wears off as more time to rest is available instead of matches every 3 days (shame we've got Yeovil on Tuesday). Martin could do with a goal or two dropping for him.

No, but I think you will agree that football fitness is very different from, for example, marathon fitness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mostyn6 Posted January 27, 2014 Author Share Posted January 27, 2014 No, but I think you will agree that football fitness is very different from, for example, marathon fitness. You'd be surprised. Lung capacity and core stamina are relevent, but the lack of core strength training (bursts of pace) etc would effect a footballers fitness. I'd suggest for fitness, 2 days with Usain Bolt's coach, and 2 days with Mo Farah's coach with rest periods in between would do Martin's joints, power, lungs, stamina and muscles the world of good.

Gary Teale Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 So now it's Martin that needs resting/dropping. We seem to have targeted ward, Dawkins, Hughes and now Martin. You lot are ruthless if someone has a few average/poor games it's drop them. It seems to have got worse than previous seasons even though the side is playing better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who is targetting anyone? Martin is my favourite player in this team and will be for at least the rest of this season. But my opinion is that a) he's not performing his best, b) the team needs a new(ish) plan to surprise the opposition c) the rest of the squad could do with gaining match sharpness in case injuries do happen! There's nothing worse than throwing a player in who hasn't been on the pitch for ages when there's an injury. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Scarlet Pimpernel Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 Just watched the second half on Rams Player. We have our sharpness back it seems. I thought both Ward & Dawkins were sharp and creative. Nothing wrong with Martin. I am unsure if Bamford can link up play and occupy the centre of defence just yet so I'm not sure if I would start him. Start any three from six: Dawkins Ward, Martin, Bamford, Sammon & Russell. Nice position to be in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leicester Ram Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 Start any three from six: Dawkins Ward, Martin, Bamford, Sammon & Russell. Nice position to be in. Utterly true, we could pick 'the worst 3' from those 6 and still have a very good attack. Against Yeovil I'd like to see: Dawkins Bamford Russell Could be deadly.

blackNwhites Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 Relax, we've got Yeovil this Tuesday and I'm pretty sure Bamford will start. I really like Martin, but I want to see Bamford get a start and see what he can do. No offence to Yeovil, they're a really good League 1 calibre team and Bamford has proven he can score at that level consistently. No offence to MK Dons either, but we've got better players around him that can supply him the nice balls from which he will score Derby's third hat trick of the season. Martin can watch on from the bench, supporting his team mates whilst waving his burger in the air every time we score. 7-0 mate. Bamford, Ward, Bamford, Bamford, Hughes, Bryson, Martin.

TroyDyer Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 I must admit, i have wracked my brain and shook every bit of football experience out of it, and I still can't explain how a professional footballer actually puts ON weight during a gruelling 46 game campaign. I'm lost. I love him as a player. But I'm lost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leon the ram 2009 Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 Just a thought, are all the accusations of diving earlier in the season, influencing refs desistions now, I noticed a couple went against him against Chelsea and that form seems to be continuing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
