Derbados Posted July 16, 2017 Share Posted July 16, 2017 Have to say, albeit based on 2 games so far. Players look fit as a butchers dog, Rowett said he'd get them fit and it certainly looks that way. Fitness is one of the most important aspects of getting out of this division, with fitness comes consistency, not had for a bunch of ageing pensioners eh? Getting more and more excited about this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ellafella Posted July 16, 2017 Share Posted July 16, 2017 Absolutely wouldn't disagree with that. The only caveat though I would say is, whilst I suspect that GR does this high fitness regime to get the players off to a flying start when the season begins, what does the science say about the medium- to -longer term impact on the body? It's a very tough season and the question it asks of players is immense. I know that just before the season gets properly going there are a couple of international breaks, so perhaps the players will get a rest then, but I wouldn't be surprised if at some point, one of our chaps picks up a rip or tear due to repetitive strain. Hope not, but I do wonder... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carnero Posted July 16, 2017 Share Posted July 16, 2017 I wouldn't disagree with @Ellafella not disagreeing with @Derbados. Does anybody else not disagree as well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramet Posted July 16, 2017 Share Posted July 16, 2017 From what i know GR is a task master and has and will continue to do so! Its a true fact that the fitter they are the less chance of an injury.football players get plenty of time to rest for a start most training session are an am or pm session bit till their fit GR has the doing double sessions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RadioactiveWaste Posted July 16, 2017 Share Posted July 16, 2017 I think at the moment it's getting to the level he wants that's hard work, once they get there I'm sure it'll drop down to maintaining levels. I seem to remember Clement had some odd ideas about fitness (hide the gym equipment lads...and don't tell Mel) and they all went the wrong way by the time we collapsed. @Ellafella I'm sure that's whats happened to George - wants to impress and said he was going to give it everything in pre-season to get into his plans but pushed it too hard.

Day Posted July 16, 2017 Share Posted July 16, 2017 I honestly couldn't tell how fit the players are by watching them play 2 games of 45 minutes. They are professional sportsmen, kinda expect them to handle 45 minutes with ease. Once they start playing 90 minutes on Saturday, Tuesday, Saturday, Tuesday we'll see how fit they are.
