Spot on OWS, we must drum into them to play at a faster pace for 90 minutes. Our first half was a disaster, but again, we were terrific 2nd half.
The goals we have scored in recent games is very impressive, and shows how effective we can be. We are showing very little fear now, which is great. Very impressive, keep it going lads.

I believe that someone previously alluded to the fact that our squad is not conditioned to be able to play at the level of intensity for 90 minutes, and this may be why we are starting to see niggly muscle injuries across the squad.
The bulk of strength and conditioning work is done in pre season, and was set up to play to Martin's footballing philosophy and not the high intensity press that DR champions.
I don't think it's a choice, they just physically can't give those levels for 90 mins due to the way their bodies have been prepared for the season.

I've been reading this since MB arrived, how the players weren't fit or conditioned enough, certainly under Phil, that was said. Surely, no matter the coach, we should have a fitness dept that makes sure the players are at peak fitness whenever.
