AshtonRobin21 Posted June 9, 2021 Report Share Posted June 9, 2021 It's good to see Jay Dasilva and Tyreeq Bakinson putting the work in early during their time off. On Dasilva's Instagram, he has posted a video of the two of them training, alongside Dasilva's brother. Whilst many players will currently be off on their holidays, it's a credit to them that they are working hard. The young players in the squad may just have the desire and determination required to put themselves at the forefront of Pearson's plans. A fully fit Dasilva is up there in the top bracket of Left backs in the championship. And if Bakinson can improve his stamina, to match his technical ability, he could be a stand out.

Dasilva being fit going into next season is massive. Good to see them putting in the extra work NPs comments about fitness (or lack of) starting to register?

Wolf Island Posted June 9, 2021 Report Share Posted June 9, 2021 Absolute minimum I would expect. Hoping NP gives the whole squad a beasting first day of pre-season. Week long survival exercise on Dartmoor or something. Goodbye easy street. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Merrick's Marvels Posted June 9, 2021 Report Share Posted June 9, 2021 2 hours ago, JonDolman said: Really hope Rennie sorts these big problems out. More important than any new signing imo. Rennie's a physio - he fixes them when they're injured. What we need is someone who gets them fit, strong and robust enough not to get injured in the first place - i.e. the bloke from Exeter rugby we've been linked with. If he, or someone else in that role, does a good job then Rennie will have nothing to do and that would be a big improvement on last season.

Agree that it is good to see players working on fitness during the close season. In Jay's case he needs to be doing this work as he hardly played last season. My point being he doesn't need to rest and will need a pre-pre season. Bakinson looks to really have the potential to be an exceptional player at this level and possibly beyond. Extra fitness may accelerate this potential. It's pretty clear NP wants a more robust, physically fit squad and he will be expecting players to return from the close season at a level of fitness he would want as a minimum. I wouldn't want to be on the wrong side of those expectations when they get back! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phileas Fogg Posted June 10, 2021 Report Share Posted June 10, 2021 I don't think it's necessarily unusual for players to train in off-season at their own accord. It's likely they'll be given a regimen to follow by the club, but can find their own PTs or S&C coaches to guide them. Equally the right amount of rest is important so hopefully that'll be factored in. I also wonder whether going abroad to 'train' for your profession is a loophole to enable players to visit countries that they're not supposed to be visiting at the moment.

Could be, also could be similar to high altitude training but hot training in Dubai. If you can run around in 40 degree heat and be fine, you'll be double good in 15 degree in Stoke.

Maybe Marvin Elliott. I remember bumping into Bobby at Ashton Court mansion one summer as they had a little gym there. Shows the dedication of both those lads. Yes, Marvin has some engine but with Bobby it seems effortless. He seemed to be the one the set the high press under Johnson in the last really enjoyable football I've seen us play. He lead and with Korey hunting behind we were relentless. Once Bobby left we didn't have the forward player capable of doing that sadly. That's one of the reasons I was happy enough to see Famara go. I'd like to see a more nimble pesky front man that can do that kind of running and harrying. A big man just isn't build for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
