Boss Posted July 15, 2016 Share Posted July 15, 2016 Looking through some of the photos from the players arriving last Monday and training out in Portugal the last few days, the players are looking in great shape. Bradley Johnson and Martin in particular seemed to have slimmed right down. I read from somebody on here that a few of them had been running most days down at Shobnall. Great commitment.

BathRam72 Posted July 15, 2016 Share Posted July 15, 2016 I agree, they do look in good shape. Let's hope they are and remain so throughout the season. You can't legislate for injuries caused by bad tackles, but you can prevent injury through poor fitness. Bring it on COYR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomsdubs Posted July 15, 2016 Share Posted July 15, 2016 Two players have said in interviews they are way fitter than this time last year. I'm liking what I'm seeing, tight knit group all looking in great shape. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angieram Posted July 15, 2016 Share Posted July 15, 2016 I already posted on another thread but we were told on our training centre tour that every player reported back to Moor Farm at or below the target weight they were set before the break. Apparently not so the previous season. Also there were some pretty impressive stats on the watt bike sessions undertaken in training. They were grouped into teams of three so looked like there is a competitive element to encourage them to keep going. Martin, Weimann and Butterfield were top of the list I saw, which was for 12th July. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it self improvement on their part or attributed to the new regime? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The optimist in me would like to think the players have turned the disappointment from the end of last season into 'drive' and desire to do it this time.

tomsdubs Posted July 15, 2016 Share Posted July 15, 2016 Looking at the pics Pearson seems to spend a lot of one on one time with players, even hugging Ince giving him a pep talk in one photo. Just looks good right now, quite impressed with Pearson. Players look really focused in the vids. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
