Hmm that?s the first thing they should have sorted.
Not great having players in random commercial gyms.

Yep, and you don't need a massive space either.

I thought Hobson took up the last remaining place.

Yes, but has it not been suggested that we have a dispensation regarding Williams and him being out for the remainder of the season?

As such, he drops out to create one space in the squad.

Dispensation to replace Williams has been given.

Would like to see Jacobs again, based on the fact everyone else has been given a chance and have failed to deliver.

He is useless , terrible signing

[warfey is a spireite]

Yep he's failed to deliver his crackers. Why😛

Whoever in't nets - both as inconsistent as each other.

Shecks-Palmer-Grimes-Sparkes.

Naylor.

Duffy-Dobra-Banks-Colclough

Gonna call it - Hobson up front.

Just 'cos he'll chase everything and has as much/little chance of notching as any other option.

We will concede.

Just gotta hope we can concede one less than them, though...

Hobdon up front,no way for me, rather see Coco there.

Isn?t there a gym at the training ground?

There might be a Jim.

[warfey is a spireite]

Is he ?

[jack bauer]

cook has his hands tied to an extent on selection, he has a number of key players sidelined, from that point on he has to find a team he can trust (the most he can) to put in the required levels. the team i expect with what is available is this;

boot, shecks, palmer, grimes, sparkes
naylor, banks
mandy, dobs, duffy
pepple

is this the best we can offer up? who knows, is it the team cook can trust the most with what's available to him? probably yes.

Surely a gym of any worth is going to be several hundred thousand pounds, even if the buildings are of a temporary nature?

You could kit out a very decent functional gym space for a pro team for way way less than that. The buildings would be the cost - the equipment isn?t an issue

I thought there was a gym and an infinity pool at the North end of the East Stand. Trumpeted with the fact that when it was built we were the only club outside the Premier League with the use of our own infinity pool?

No infinity pool - they had a water treadmill which was decent.
The gym was very small - decent for rehab but not for a team use.

Which is why they use Nuffield pool and gym and they only use a fraction of the equipment as mainly use strength equipment

Amazed to see us 8/15 to win today. A shorter price than Burnley to beat Luton at home!

It could be 20 yards or 30 yards everywhere we go 40 yards or 50 yards, Pepple scoring goals


Be amazed it we don?t win today, too much emotion not to win

[Osborne again]

I'd got with,
Boot
Sheckleford
Palmer
Grimes
Sparkes
Naylor
Metcalf
Mandeville
Dobra
Duffy
Drummond
