Rotation is working

Sun Sep 14, 2014 8:50 am

Because the players really looked 'fresh' yesterday didn't they?
Seriously though, is there a fitness problem at the club because so many of them yesterday looked absolutely shot.

Lethargic would probably be the best word to describe them after the break but the question is why??

Was watching the 'warm up' yesterday and again noticed how laid back and slow it was.

They are nowhere near fit enough, plus rotation don't work in the championship, if you look back at other teams who have gone up from this league it's a solid regular team that does well, not this rotation shite

Macheda looked absolutely knackered after 30 minutes. But I suppose when he was moved from his normal position, where he looked great to the left wing, where he had to do things he isn't used to like tracking back and defending, it's hardly a surprise! All the rotation, all the players in the squad and Ole still manages to find ways to play some players out of position. It's embarrassing!

Exactly, I think everyone was stunned Macheda was left on to play a full game!

lads dont worry, this laid back approach and exciting attacking football is what everyone was demanding when malky "pre-knowledge of what we know now" was in charge, they didnt want his "boring, defensive" play,

Interesting watching the Nottingham Forest game earlier when they said that Stuart Pierce had raised Forests fitness levels 'through the roof'.
