Why is Harris so obsessed with fitness..

When his tactics for the last two games have been to pass it around at the back before giving it to the keeper to lump up to one isolated man up front.

Why can’t we actually have manager who presses from the front for once.

Speaks about it every interview and keeps saying he’s working them hard to get fit for the style he wants to play whatever that is.

Answering your own question there

You want a manager to play the high press but you have to have the right players and the players have to be extremely fit to high press throughout the game.

We don’t have the players nor the fitness at the moment so until we get the players fitter and can bring players in to do that we are stuck in limbo

Didn't realise we had any plan in either game so at least I know we had one now

I spoke to a player last week and asked him what’s the difference between Harris and Warnock’s training he replied nothing, I then said I read he’s working on extra fitness he then replied it’s no harder to be honest. Make of it what you want.

Can you honestly say whether the said player is generally in the first 11?

We don't look any fitter since he took over. If anything less movement.

It's basically what every manager says when he takes over if he doesn't know what to do.

Luke, that's correct and surely only the players themselves will know if they are being worked 'harder' or just 'differently' following the change of management/coaching staffs?

Don't see too much change on the fitness front and I always thought we had a pretty fit squad, which is (sort of) backed up by the number of late goals we score when a game is stretched

Having now seen the Leeds United game and spoken to my Leeds supporting brother-in-law (he's from there) I thought Leeds actually looked 'worried' once we got the first goal and downright 'scared' once we got the second

I've seen it with us on occasion and I recall being 2-0 up and cruising at the Palace once before (ironically) Zaha 'clicked' and tore us a new one pretty much on his own to win the game 3-2
