Why is our fitness so poor?

[Rojos]

Yengi out with a quad for "an extended time" and now we're in the transfer market looking for a striker come January.

Mauk clearly isn't fit that's two seasons in a row.

Bernardo won't be able to handle more than 30mins off the bench, seems a similar approach with MoToure.

Ansell is out for the season.

Goodwin still getting over an ankle problem.

Javi Lopez has never looked as sharp as he did in his first 2-3 games for the club.


Sorry but there is a problem year in year out with the strength and conditioning of our lot. Very brittle, always prone to breaking down and given we started the year unfit and without depth, we now find ourselves in a hole. Combine that with Carl's rigid formation for which players must conform and were in a right old spot.

This thread though is purely on strength and conditioning, what are your thoughts? Why can the eggballers get 18-19 year Olds through a season and we can't ?

the club ran an independent investigation into S&C at the end of last season, due to the amount of injuries (inparticular soft tissue) that we had (most in the league last season)

those results were never published, however Django (head of S&C) still appears to have his job

fast forward a few months and we are seeing a spate of injuries again, i guess that independent investigation wasnt the best
