Fitness - Late Goals
Mon Oct 20, 2014 9:01 am
We have conceded a very high number of late goals in previous seasons but there have been questions asked regarding fitness levels at the club under Ole. According to the press double training sessions have now been held under Slade.
It was noticeable again on Saturday that after the hour mark our players seemed to be off the pace and quite a few were struggling to get around the pitch. I don't think its a coincidence but we have only scored 1 goal in the last 30 minutes of the matches played to date (none in the last 15) and yet we have conceded 7. Many of these have been in the last couple of minutes.
I hope that our fitness levels improve and we stop giving away silly goals late on. We have only kept 1 clean sheet which is not promotion material.
