Regarding this so called "complete lack of training" do we have any actual evidence that this is the case or is this just heresay?

How ridiculously unfit we look is a fairly big giveaway.

The league table can point to a lot of things which is wrong, Chris.

Management not being driven by the owners/board.
Poor recruitment resulting in an unbalanced squad.
Tactics not suited to the players or league we are in.
Illness and injuries to key players.
Lack of a fitness coach even though when we had one results were just as bad.

Obviously, a lot of these issues fall firmly at the feet of JS.

But, my question about "lack of training" was simply to try and find out as to whether or not this is true or false because, so far, from what I have read on these boards I have seen rumour being been turned into fact.

Now, according to JS, there are a number of players suffering from illness. If this is the case I can understand those particular players requiring as much rest as possible particularly over the busy Christmas and New Year period we are coming to an end to.

Well short of stalking the players like those cranks who turn out at daft o'clock on Xmas morning for a glimpse of Lizzy Windsor, Bob's Board 'rumour turned to fact' is what we have.

But then those 'rumours turned to fact' have proven pretty damn accurate for the last four or more years...
