Obviously you wouldn't blame them even if we do.

He wasn't referring to needing a fitness coach - he said coaches, management and players have to take responsibility for getting and maintaining fitness.
Despite being a critic of baker he, when thorn was in town, took it upon himself to get and maintain fitness.
What he is getting at is there has been a lack of co-ordinated training activity which has resulted in players not maintaining levels required.
A lot of players like Haynes, Reid bigiamarana, Jones are just not capable of playing 90 minutes.

Professional footballers not fit after 46 games so far this season. You couldn't make it up!!
What do they do every frigging day in training. Un,f'ing, believable
The whole back room staff from Fisher down to who ever cleans out the bogs needs sacking.

Sprinkle some speed in their half time oranges, should get them through. If they have to much and do themselves a mischief then at least we won't have to see them play again.

Totally agree. This season is done. Experiment with line-ups, give the kids a go. Enjoy our day in the sun on 2nd April and then rebuild like Gould did in '83.
We need a new team and I wouldn't be sad to see the back of most of them.

It's pretty unforgivable for professional footballers (apply the term loosely, if you wish) are not fit with 8 games to go. You have to wonder just what the hell they've been doing? It's a basic thing, surely, that footballers need to keep their fitness levels up....

It's ridiculous.
I'd understand if we were semi-pro or something, turning up after a heavy drink session the night before, but these players are meant to be "pros"?
This season has been a complete debacle from the very start. The apathetic "meh" to relegation is insulting to the badge and fans.

Damn. I was hoping we could blame Oggy.

So a coach with the title "fitness" should improve fitness - is that what you are saying Tony?

No, only for his failure coaching our keepers.

If the goal keeping coach is responsible for improving goal keeping I wouldn't think it's unreasonable for a fitness coach to improve fitness. Would you? Or are you suggesting that the title is misleading?
So who specifically and since when?
Half the side have only just arrived and the others have been left rudderless for three months.
Looks like an exercise in blame shifting to me.
Just ask Mr Fisher on Monday to confirm Venus's statement to the SCG that this year's player budget is £2.1M.

Ah but weren't you saying Oggy should not be responsible for failing to improve our keepers? Can't have it all ways.

There's just a plain sheet of A4 on it which states:
Hold this clipboard for the duration of the game. Glance at it randomly during the 90 minutes. This is especially important when we are making substitutions.
DO NOT LOSE THIS CLIPBOARD. IT IS THE PROPERTY OF SISU CAPITAL LIMITED.
FAILURE TO COMPLY WILL LEAD TO AN IMMEDIATE EXTENSION TO YOUR CONTRACT AND AN INVITE TO THE JSB CHRISTMAS PARTY.

I think he holds it upside down though, so probably hasn't read anything written on there.

What do you mean by even you Tony?
You do realise this really is a damning indictment of player attitude more than anything else and an attitude that has more than likely prevailed for some time?
Ultimately if a player decides to ignore the advice of a fitness coach the responsibility is the players and the manager.
Some players I'm sure have had a lazy attitude to training for some time. If a player wants to retain fitness he can and he will. As I said before Baker knew that the thorn "training" regime was a joke and many sessions never happened st all so he made it his personal responsibility to maintain fitness.
For players this is inexcusable.
