Oldblueyes Posted 2 October 2021 Posted 2 October 2021 Something I need to get off my chest. Watching our players in so called training videos which includes jogging around cones, swinging opposite legs, playing piggy in the middle etc, etc or standing around.joking. Where are the shots of players bending forward with hands on knees coughing and gasping for air. Where do you see players running around with soaking wet T-shirts. Where are the shots of players lying prostrate after physical effort. Has Seagrave become more of a recreational venue with its swimming pool, golf course, than a physical training center. Foot note Athletic Bilbao forward Inaki Williams broke the record for most consecutive games in La Liga history. The Spaniard, 27, played his 203rd successive match surpassing the record held by former Real Sociedad defender Juan Larranaga from 1986-1992. Do you see 203 not just 3 games like some of our lot.That is fitness. Rant over.. 1

HighPeakFox Posted 2 October 2021 Posted 2 October 2021 The recent reaching for reasons why, along with the terrible use of our mother tongue generally, has been quite something.
tom27111 Posted 2 October 2021 Posted 2 October 2021 Ah, there's nothing like an over-reaction on Foxestalk. Whilst we are shite at the moment and I'm not particularly looking forward to attending the game tomorrow, we're in the best situation we've ever been in and won the FA Cup less than 5 months ago. Get a grip. 2
st albans fox Posted 2 October 2021 Posted 2 October 2021 Photos of players sweating profusely aren’t as attractive as those where they’re not. (yes @Suzie the Fox, I know Vicente in any physical state is more than attractive ) the media stuff is always showing the guys having a good time - they media team aren’t invited along when it’s gets intensive - they’re a distraction for the players.

You might have a point about players becoming too comfortable with their surroundings, but I don’t think training players to the point of physical exhaustion is the answer.
Unabomber Posted 2 October 2021 Posted 2 October 2021 So to confirm you want to see photos of sweaty men at Seagrave? 4
Tielemans63 Posted 2 October 2021 Posted 2 October 2021 More young men in wet t-shirts! Preferably dead ones who have perished due to sheer physical exhaustion. 2

Apart from Kasper holds the current record for most consecutive games in the Premier League and no player has played more games for a single club in Europe over the last 10 years.
davieG Posted 2 October 2021 Posted 2 October 2021 I'd hazard a guess but I think the training at Seagrave will be the same as it was at Bevoir Drive and just as sweaty but with better facilities and more of it. That being said why the topic titled Seagrave?
urban fox Posted 2 October 2021 Posted 2 October 2021 Playing two games a week, add in the travelling etc, doesn’t actually leave a lot of time for any intensive training. Probably more a case of recovery fitness, assessment of any knocks, tweaks etc and a little bit of tactical sessions and it’s bags packed and ready for the next one. would we really want to see the players running up and down old John/bradgate park or sand dunes at wanlip gravel pits the day before a match? 2
MalletFox Posted 2 October 2021 Posted 2 October 2021 I want to see a video where Rodgers pulls Daniel Amartey aside and gives him a right good dressing down for consistently hitting the net whilst playing football tennis in teams of 3! Not sure it fits with the ‘image’ that’s trying to be portrayed through the training clips on our social media channels though.

I often wonder how many ankles were wrenched during the Wanlip gravel pit runs. 1
Guest Danny Clender Posted 2 October 2021 Posted 2 October 2021 And the team bus….THE TEAM BUS…don’t get me started. THE DRESSING ROOMS….bloody rubbish.
Oldblueyes Posted 2 October 2021 Author Posted 2 October 2021 You get players taken off because they are so tired with having to play tippy tappy football for 65 minutes. Modern football is rubbish at times
shailen Posted 2 October 2021 Posted 2 October 2021 Our issues aren't a lack of fitness imo. Our defending is and has been so niave all season. Even if you had the stamina or fitness of a marathon runner, you're not going to win any games if you defend like we have. I'm surprised we've managed to even win 2 games already!
