If the season restarts who.....?

[CBRammette]

.....do you think will hit the ground running and who will be miles from match ready? Will it be like starting new season fitness-wise with no pre-season?

Shinnie, naturally fit. Waghorn, seems to have a paddock in his back garden and full training kit! Sibbo, Bird and Knight have yoof on their side.

I fear for Davies, Martin, Huddlestone and young Bogle, who possibly spends more time on FIFA than training. ?

Surely Chrissy will be his usual pre-season svelteness and back a week before the rest? ?

I hope so. 

Would like to hear a bit more in the club videos from Martin, Wisdom, Marriott, Lawrence about how they are doing and a bit less from Waghorn, Davies and Fozzy's wife (can't count Fozzy as he doesn't seem to appear!) 

It's not that I don't like the ones we are hearing from but it's a bit uneven.

Some players need to be fully fit because of the way they they play the game. Players like Martin and Huddlestone can get away with it because they rely more on their intelligence and touch than physical fitness.

It’ll be the same as any normal pre season I guess, depends who’s been keeping fit at home. Lawrence and Waghorn seem pretty consistently fit, so I suspect they’ll hit the ground running. Marriott is never fit, so it’s not a stretch to fear he might come back from this unfit and pick up an injury early doors.

Not anymore if the other night is anything to go by. He either threw it across the room or took an hammer to it. ?

In theory they should be keeping themselves fit because they are still being paid their wages. Otherwise the club would furlough them. 

Id imagine the club are giving them fitness schedules and tracking them every few days.

I'm praying that Marriott will be fitter than before. The Leeds rerun today reminded me of how lethal he is when he's fully up to fitness

Would have thought they would be set a home training programme by DCFC fitness coaches. They are professional athletes who are still being paid, so they would be expected to stay as fit as possible, subject to home environment and available facilities.

Didn’t we kit the players out with gear that could be monitored by the fitness coaches a couple of seasons ago ? 

(That might be one of my weird lockdown dreams mind)
