I know we have seen a major uplift in results since November when MacLean joined us but I can't help wondering if some of the uplift is not down to the appointment by CW to have a proper strength and conditioning coach. Are the players better prepared?
The players seem to be fitter and stronger. We are "lasting" in games
better and are finishing games far stronger than we were. United are now scoring regularly late on i.e Chesterfield, Barnet, Torquay, Aldershot away and Bradford today.
Tonkin looks noticeably quicker and stronger for starters.

Its a good point. We look really strong in the last 10 minutes of games nowadays. I thought Midson was blowing a bit yesterday which surprised me because he's normally a very fit lad.
I think one reason we look so good late on now is that we're bringing high quality off the bench, good players like Heslop who retain the ball brilliantly and use it well.
In years gone by we've had dross coming on and panic stricken players who just boot it clear and concede possession but while theres the odd hoof we are generally knocking it around and seeing out time in an economical way.

Could be . . .Ski is a top bloke Agree! He told me the other day that he nearly got lynched in a Fish and Chip shop in Torquay after our win down there! Said some Torkee boyz were slating him and saying they wanted to have a go at Matt Green! He was only ordering 25 portions of the old tramp's supper, and he got grief from the locals! He's a good lad, good at his job, an excellent triathlete and knows his stuff. |
