Was reminded by ranger review that PC said recently only 5 players were fit enough to play the intense style he wants; butland, tav, goldson, souttar and lunny so maybe that's why he can't or won't drop any of those because the other lads fitness levels are not good enough.

It looks like none of those can play that style either recently.

you might be correct, would be sad if so but you may well have something there.

I’d say over the course of the season Tav, JL and Sima would get a 7. Before anybody jumps on me for the first two, I think they’ve had decent seasons, my issue is their performance when it really matters and their inability to get the season over the line.
You can’t argue that their performance over the course of the season isn’t as bad as their recent performance suggests.
I still hope the first two are moved on and Sima is retained.

Interesting to see what this intense style is like when everyone's 100% OWS.

Tomthumbe I think mb bought players to play a certain way and there fitness levels aren't up to playing the more intense football PC wants that's something I'd never considered until I listened to some1 more knowledgeable.

Those are the guys that have played pretty much every minute, no surprise they have looked a bit leggy in last couple games.

So anyone who is super fit starts? Regardless if they are liabilities or not.

Bigdado it was PC who said it after hibs game he only had 5 players with fitness required to play the style he wants.

Bigdado to answer your question the answer is yes, the amount of players taking injections etc is eye watering.
