I don’t believe for one minute the players aren't fit, it is just one of those lazy observations that gets bandied about. We probably do lack legs in the team though which is different from fitness.

HarryBosch Posted October 5, 2023 Share Posted October 5, 2023 A big factor in Unsy fluking a few wins back end of last season seemed to be us having a lot of long term professional footballers with the physiology & fitness that comes with that playing against recently part time former binmen and accountants.....

Then begin to be on the front foot and move the opposition. Thats the complete antithesis of 4-4-2. 18 minutes ago, deyres42 said: I don’t believe for one minute the players aren't fit, it is just one of those lazy observations that gets bandied about.

Im pointing out that there are other factors contributing to the leggyness. Chasing a ball around for the majority of a game saps your energy, it's the mind that gasses first. Then going on to do that 2 times a week must be a factor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Worcester Owl Posted October 5, 2023 Share Posted October 5, 2023 23 hours ago, mcfluff1985 said: People saying Norwood retains the ball well seriously haven't been paying attention. He gives it away plenty. I'm not convinced at all by him. If Nuttall was putting in his performances they would be burning effigies of him outside the ground. Also a lot of those people who said Unsworth was the problem are now blaming the players and saying the squad isn't good enough If you exclude his spell at Tranmere, where he averaged a goal every other game (82 in 165, very good) his career record is 102 goals from 338 appearances - good, but not earth shattering. I think people got carried away by pre-season optimism. He's a good player and he's been no doubt hampered by our poor start and lack of service from midfield, but he is not the saviour some want him to be. He's also 33 years old. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
