Tomo Posted February 23, 2016 Report Share Posted February 23, 2016 I would expect Wilbs to be carrying a little weight in view of his age but has anyone notice that Mark Little is looking a tad "tummy fied" albeit he has been in and out since the shoulder injury. Freeman also seems a little more bulky - is it the weights or are they simply not in trim ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phileas Fogg Posted February 23, 2016 Report Share Posted February 23, 2016 I think it's the cut of the kit. There's no way Wilbraham would be able to play pro football at this level if he was in poor shape given his age. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nickolas Posted February 23, 2016 Report Share Posted February 23, 2016 If i notice one thing, the better teams do all seem physically bigger and stronger than the majority of our players. I'm sure theres no lack of gym work but we always look physically inferior to the better teams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WOODSY1111 Posted February 23, 2016 Report Share Posted February 23, 2016 Didn't LJ say that the team looks unfit maybe extra training is being put in place as clearly not up to it tonight! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomo Posted February 23, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2016 I think Litts has put on a few pounds and doesn't appear to be as quick as last year imo! Wilbs is 36 - in great shape but a league 1 player at best nowadays! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lack of Action Man Posted February 23, 2016 Report Share Posted February 23, 2016 No team we have had has been anywhere near as physically fit as the early Gary Johnson era promotion side. He really got our players into fantastic condition. Reckon Tomlins been on the pies myself. After all, it would take a pie eater to know a pie eater.

He looks like he needs to be replaced 10 minutes into a game he looks so knackered. I agree - he defo looks overweight compared to last season and significantly slower!

'Orns Posted February 24, 2016 Report Share Posted February 24, 2016 That has to be a trick of the light on the Wilbs pic - he's in great shape Freeman has certainly bulked up a lot from last season, but muscle.

He's a stocky "badger" of a bloke. What he does on the pitch relies on great close control and a sharp football brain. He doesn't need to be the best sprinter.

In his first home game when I saw him my first thought was 'I recalled him being fatter than that'... that's not saying he's svelte mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The build and sidies remind me of the Viz strip when Billy the Fish has temporarily retired from Fulchester United and immediately becomes a slightly paunchy pub landlord.

FlintWonderwall Posted February 24, 2016 Report Share Posted February 24, 2016 I would say some need to bulk up. Vyner and Reid for example Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see most of them in David Lloyd Gym at Ashton, I think the club has an agreement with the gym. Still see GJ, Jamie McAllister and Cotts in there too...

When Benny took over from JW in 1998 he hard to start pre season training during the season as players were not fit. Players complaining about training twice a day as it disturbed their golfing. Players throwing up at training having been out in Birmingham all night. The Bristol City DNA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, you could see that in the game v Walsall last season, when they wore it for the first time. Joe's got Elliott Bennett's shirt...it's a medium...it's like a youths!

Give the lads some credit ffs Wilbs is fit as a butchers dog. Agree, trick of the light. Do people seriously think that the sports scientists etc at the club would allow players to be overweight, notwithstanding players returning from injury etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
