Standing round in a circle doing kick ups is no way of warming up and is something you would expect in a school playground rather than from professional footballers. why are they going to go through a thorough warm up when they are not going to go on any time soon. Pointless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pointless. How do you know someone will not get injured straight after kick off? Not saying go through a full warm up but at least do something that makes you look half professional rather than like a 10 year old on the park.

WamRam Posted December 3, 2015 Share Posted December 3, 2015 They're not out there on their own, there is a coach with them. So I'm sure Clement is aware of it and if he's okay with it then who are we to tell players how to warm up. They do a little jog from side to side after a while anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How do you know someone won't get injured at any point in the game? With this logic should they be warming up for the full 90 minutes? Why do a full warm up at half time if you know you're not coming on? Typically sides will make changes from 60 mins onwards, so they'd have to warm up again anyway...

Doing a little at half time shortens the amount you need to do before you come on 30 minutes later. A warm up doesn't completely wear off in half an hour.

They aren't standing completely still for the 15. As someone already mentioned, they can jog in straight lines any time they want during the game. Half time is an opportunity to learn the pitch, how the ball is moving on that day etc etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ball's movement on the iPro pitch is not going to change very much at all, and they train on a replica anyway. I haven't seen a problem with players coming on looking off the pace, sometimes they haven't gotten into the game a la Bryson against Hull but we were letting Hull have all the ball. Now if I see players come on and look lost maybe this will be worth the discussion, right now I'm confused as to why I even added anything to this thread.

unclej Posted December 3, 2015 Author Share Posted December 3, 2015 If there is anything being said of merit in the half-time dressing perhaps they should be in there listening to that rather than all this on-the-pitch tom foolery. Surely this is just an overt display by the club to the fans, showing us the players that are on stand-by and available. That makes far more sense, and explains why they look so embarrassed.
