If you go to training like I do reguarly, you wll find more staff than nearly players there. We have at least 9 coaches whom are there to develop these players. They are to implement game plan, develop skills including handballing & kicking, and furthermore we have increased drammatically our fitness staff as well.

Therefore the resources are there- hopefully they will be good enough to take this club further. The issue is the playing list- and I query it heavily.

I too query the list savoydee. I think a lot of the problem with the list is above the shoulders

These guys are full time professionals with an opportunity of a lifetime. Surely when skills are so bad, you would expect them to work overtime on their skills (and other aspects) and improve them.

You don't always have to have coaches standing over you to do these things. They are elemental and basic and they have all the time in the world

Sadly I think too many are just happy to pick up their cheques and lack the real hunger necessary

If their application can be turned around there is still hope for many of them

Like the attitude of Scum bag when, if he missed a pass on his non preferred foot as a junior, he was out the next morning kicking 100-odd balls with that foot.

Or a story I heard about Vicky Wilson (form Aussie netballer), who would, before practice, shoot 50 or so shots at goal, then train with the team, then after training shoot another 50-100 shots on her own.

It's a level of dedication that sees individuals improve. And if someone comes on and whinges about load management, etc, I'll vomit.

Why?

Why?

Because I will!

Sports science is getting out of hand if the players are told "that's enough for training today, don't touch another football for the rest of the day".

I haven't been to a training session for many years, but I would like to think our forwards are practicing goal kicking a lot more than what they do in training drills. Wasn't it Cloke that used to stay behind after training with his Ipod in his ears practicing goal kicking?
