slartibartfast Posted August 4, 2022 Report Share Posted August 4, 2022 Don't know if been mentioned before, but Nige's interview on official site the other day.... he seemed less than enthused by some of the training days ! Can't quite grasp his meaning. We well understand an actual game going pear-shaped, but training? Don't get it, they should be doing what's required of them, we've got enough coaches !

Cardy Posted August 4, 2022 Report Share Posted August 4, 2022 (edited) A bad tackle led to a full on scrap I heard. 3 now out injured with broken bones & some of the others were sent home on gardening leave. Expect to see some of the u23s on match day. Edited August 4, 2022 by Cardy 1 9 3 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If true, that is a hugely serious reflection on the togetherness of the squad. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which interview? Could very much just be a case of players having an off day and not hitting standards expected of them. Sloppy passing/finishing, too many mis controlled balls etc. The number of coaches won't differ the level of performance of players in training on the day.

Not surprising - apparently someone at Arsenal sliced up an onion right in front of him, and then poked him in the eye!!

Yes, I don't buy the "fistycuffs"scenario either. If something HAD gone on, don't think NP would highlighted it in a presser . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mad Cyril Posted August 5, 2022 Report Share Posted August 5, 2022 I would like to think the players would replicate match day commitment in every training session, conceding at least 2 goals in the last few minutes. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roger Red Hat Posted August 5, 2022 Report Share Posted August 5, 2022 I heard that Alex Scott had nutted Kalas and TK's head came off. Dave Rennie has managed to fix it back on , and TK is in the squad for tomorrow. Only repeating what I was told. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

REDOXO Posted August 5, 2022 Report Share Posted August 5, 2022 Never happened at City! Little never swung for Frederick and Gerry never had to be held off Booby Gould. However if a punch up had occurred this time I would back Pearson to sort it and City to win tomorrow! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
