Nicely explained and I agree.

Not sure how any of what Eckert says about Oriel is any different to the rest of the squad. None of them are fit enough to play on a full size pitch as proved by the constant use of 5 subs and the massive drop off in performance during the second half of just about every game. No need to single out Oriel when he's not that much different to the rest of the players.

Sorry, not sure I understand your point. What has comparing the respective height of Manning and Bree got to do with my post? 🙂

You haven't.

I'm convinced this squad has a very poor work ethic led by the likes of senior players Capt Jack, Downes and Manning. They strike me as the type of individuals who will not put in the maximum or required effort when it comes to the fitness training and that filters down to the rest of the group. They need a good kick up the arse and we should bring in a training coach who takes no nonsense and knocks them into some sort of physical shape. My sense is that training is all too cushy and has been for a long time. Will Still alluded to it and, for whatever reason (probably lack of respect from players) he was unable to make us any fitter. Manning is a prime example - he looks to be carrying a bit of timber. If you are less fit than your opponents you are handing them a big advantage.

Disagree. This team is clearly unfit so when they have the 15 minute sit down at half time they then struggle to get going again. It happens every game. They come out second half looking tired and lacking any energy. Convinced it's down to poor fitness levels.

No excuse for lack of fitness. Shows a very lazy attitude from players and coaches. If a team at Doncaster's level is fitter than we are that is a major issue.

Probably for the same reasons the West Ham fans don't like him.

He really wouldn't. Right now the last thing we need is a small, weak ball recycler in midfield.

I reckon he's got another job lined up.

To be fair that's a given whoever is our manager.

Has someone at the club upset Alfie - he seems to be quite scathing recently.

Never lost a game when he's started.

I suspect he already does either live or via Skype.

As did the team.

Bollocks to the fucking lot of them. They can now get on their private flight and be back to the comfort of their mansions in double quick time. This entire squad and SR just make me want to puke. 3-0 up at half time to fucking Doncaster and they still proceed to almost throw it away. Club is rotten to the core.

Is Ross injured?

Fixed that for you.

He's playing every week now so he has to get some time off somehow.

Did he give himself a yellow or just a bit of a talking to?

Backbones of jellyfish the lot of them.

He'll not go even if we do lose this from 3-0 up.

Well, none in our side.

Predicting we lose this on penalties.

Twitchy eyes, he's got twitchy eyes.....
