Baldyman Posted November 5, 2016 Report Share Posted November 5, 2016 Genuine question . Are several of our lads spending too much time pumping iron ? Wilbs looks more like a weightlifter every game . Korey also looks to have bulked up and Joe B looks a stone heavier than he did 12 months ago . We looked slower and far less mobile than Brighton today and fair enough they are a very good side but have a few of our lads bulked up a little too much ?

Donkeeebles Posted November 5, 2016 Report Share Posted November 5, 2016 As we've been far stronger in the 2nd half in almost every game this season I'd say the fitness regimes are spot on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redapple Posted November 5, 2016 Report Share Posted November 5, 2016 Not my strong point . I'd like to think I know a bit about tactics, performances and body language, but weight training and physiques ? You might have a good point, as to me JB, LF and recently KS all look jaded and short of pace . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lrrr Posted November 5, 2016 Report Share Posted November 5, 2016 Thing is a lot of fans then moan when we're weak and get pushed off the ball, can't compete with the opposition physically etc. The players will be on training programmes based on getting the best out of them designed to how we want to play. Wilbs being used as an example, he's a target man upfront, I'd rather he was stronger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baldyman Posted November 5, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 5, 2016 I'm not really referring to the players stamina as I do agree with your point about our staying power . My concerns lie with our mobility and pace with players carrying extra bulk . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Midred Posted November 5, 2016 Report Share Posted November 5, 2016 JB certainly doesn't chase balls to the byline like he did a couple of seasons ago when he then cut back for another player to score. But as on another thread if there's no one there , what's the point? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, we've generally performed well in the second half of games which indicates that the fitness is working. If the implication is that the players have 'bulked up' significantly since LJ has come in then that's also probably wrong. They are essentially endurance athletes, it would be really difficult for them to add a noticeable amount of muscle mass that alters their agility in 9 months or so.
