headhunter Posted January 15, 2020 Report Share Posted January 15, 2020 With the away game at Reading being postponed due to their ongoing cup commitments there is a 13 day gap before the away game at QPR. Will LJ and his coaching team be taking the lads off to Dubai for a winter training camp in readiness for the final 18 game push for the play offs or will he allow them a natural break for family time or, for the single chaps, a week's holiday in the winter sun in Dubai, Cancun, Maldives etc etc.?

Nomad Posted January 15, 2020 Report Share Posted January 15, 2020 They should use the time off constructively. A trip to Specsavers maybe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Geoff Posted January 15, 2020 Report Share Posted January 15, 2020 See, Lee knew what he was doing all along. Who wants to play the European Champions when you can have a nice break in the sunshine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Instead of Dubai or similar they could go to Weston-Super-Mare. Added advantage of not adding to climate change and they could donate the money saved to the clubs sponsored charity. A few days training on Weston beach with the wind whipping across from Brean Down might toughen them up a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember the days when our players were made to run along Brean beach and then all the way up the steps and then all the way along and then back down.

Personally @Taunton_BCFCI wouldn't chance it, I'd bet the game won't finish until near 10pm. You'll be lucky to even be on the bus by that time. When going before on a Saturday we've just made the 6pm train but usually we book on the 6:30pm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
