Bailey Posted January 30, 2023 Report Share Posted January 30, 2023 There must be some half decent Chelsea players going spare for a loan though. Surely we can convince one of them to join us! chicagoblue 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Small change big difference I completely get it. Footy without shin pads automatically reduces the intensity and competitive nature. Our players don’t look like they have trained in months. It will sharpen them up in playing in closed quarters. Newty82 and KinL 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wall Writer Posted January 31, 2023 Report Share Posted January 31, 2023 9 hours ago, Hafnia said: Dyche is making players wear shin pads for training….. love it. It strikes me as obvious that it should be this way. I remember reading a book as a kid about football training, the only thing that I remember from it was that you should train as your play; i.e. full kit, shin pads, boots, the lot. It made sense then and it makes sense now. My football career never took off (in fact never even got started) but I'm a musician and the same rule applies. If I practice like I'm playing in my bedroom, that's how I play. That doesn't translate to stage performance, you need to practice as if you have a crowd of people in front of you for that later to come out well when your are actually up there. Studio performance is again another thing, where it's more about playing cleanly and accurately.

If I turn up to knock around with half a set I’m no where near as focused. those players have been turning up to training bottom half of the league, laughing smiling, walking off the pitch as fresh as they were walking on it. Our physical output on the pitch is crap, I’m glad that is going to be addressed. Nom’s of this letting players run off them. KinL 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newty82 Posted January 31, 2023 Report Share Posted January 31, 2023 It could be argued that we have a decent level of fitness. 8th most covered distance in the PL, with not much between 1st - 8th.
