cidered abroad Posted October 6, 2021 Report Share Posted October 6, 2021 As an elder City fan who is quick to remember and praise the nostalgia of my young days in the late 1940's and 1950's, this is an astonishing example of how special training on Weston Beach and players who smoked 20 a day has developed into the present day. It's easy to say that Pearson may take us to the Premier League but we should never forget those people in the background and their modern methods that are making it a real possibility. My great respects to Rennie, all the other backroom specialists an NP. Hoping that Nigel makes a full recovery from his latest bout of Covid. What a manager of people he is. Always WE and never ME. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had to start behind everyone else & fitness improving by the day but agree it needs to improve and is. Why people suggest attitude issues is beyond me without any knowledge. Are we sure it's actually him in the graph though? Could it possibly be anyone else? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Britton ? Not sure we know for certain that it's the same player at the bottom of the graph in both pre-season and then the second graph. It's reasonable to suspect that it might be...but it could be that one guy really caught up with the pack, and another dropped off badly.

TedsHeadIs Red Posted October 7, 2021 Report Share Posted October 7, 2021 It’s good that we have moved away from an era where players had fish and chips for lunch before a game, a couple of ciggies at halftime and a pint of milk at the end of the match. Rennie obviously knows his stuff and it’s good to see a professional approach to fitness with technology and data. But I do wonder if things are starting to get over-complicated with too much fine detail possibly clouding the bigger picture. Players may start to avoid taking a risk in a game (the sort of thing that can make a game exciting to watch) because they know it may affect their performance statistics. There is such a thing as paralysis by analysis. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lenred Posted October 7, 2021 Report Share Posted October 7, 2021 Still getting used to the fact that we have experienced, knowledgable, high quality professionals in charge at our club who speak in a language we can all understand, clearly and concisely and with the confidence that they know what they are doing and that it will produce results. Such a relief to know the club is in such good hands as we now go forwards and it must instil great belief and confidence in the players. Exciting times. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a player who is likely still to have some growth, they may not "load" him at adult levels. Developing muscle in young players before they are fully grown can have adverse skeletal effects. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As Rennie says, it's a regime taikored for the way Pearson likes his teams to play, other Managers will have different thoughts and requirements, and other performance specialists will have different ideas for producing the results. The most important thing is getting the buy in from the players, especially if they are insisting on them taking personal responsibility.

Interesting that Rennie suggested that the pace required in the Premier League is higher than the Championship, and that's what they're prepping for. I guess my comment isn't necessarily about how other managers set up, but how we compete with other teams at the top level. Really refreshing to hear. We're not focussing on how we get out the division, but how we'd cope if we did go up. A really good long term viewpoint, so hats off to them for that.
