They should be back in training todayAre the players back ? The one who lives by me and I see training everyday i haven’t seen around. Big kick off is rumoured to be mid September when it’s normally mid August so players may be away on holidays now travel is easier which might explain why O’Hare and others haven’t signed yet.
Wouldn't be a surprise if we needed a longer pre-season than usual though would it? Haven't played for 4 months. Usually there's only a couple of months gap between last game and pre-season.Is that official or based on other years as I said the big kick off is likely to be two months away when normally they go back early July for a mid August

I think this was from a story with Hamer, he returned to Holland after signing and told a local journo that he was returning to the uk with his partner and child and was reporting for training on Wednesday
Didn’t his uncle play for Blues?I think it’s a shame for both club and player that O’Hare isn’t coming. We’re the right club in the right situation for this part of his career and he fits well in our system. He rejected Villa, Norwich and a Forest but then Blues came in. He wants to go there which is a complete basket case at the moment, easily one of the clubs that could end up in admin and a league below us next year.
He should grow with the club not be another that stagnates and lets the club grow past them.

Thing is in about 3 weeks that stops they’ll then want a few weeks off, I don’t think it’ll make much differenceYeah, the championship teams will be a lot sharper. Same for the teams relegated from the premier league.
Us and Rotherham will have a lot less minutes.
Anyone worried about quality, Middlesbrough vs Hull last week was like a flash back to league 2

I think this is probably what it’s come down to. He rejected more at Villa than we could offer so it wasn’t about money. He wants to play football but he's been given a chance to join his club so is backing himself to force his way in there instead of being guaranteed it here.He's a Blues fan from an area that is a stronghold of their support, i think the heart probably rules the head for him as it would do for most of us in reality.

Yes, teams not looking sharp in competitive matches according to Magwitch are definitely not sharper than teams that haven't played competitively for 4 months.I’d question if these teams will be sharper from what I’ve seen with these bcd games teams look far from at their sharpest. Agreed Preparation will be different but I don’t see much difference, we will be fresh and hopefully champing at the bit and with a few newbies to boot.
Are you on crack? The BCD games will be building up match fitness and sharpness. They won't be sharp straight away but will be ahead of us in that department.I’d question if these teams will be sharper from what I’ve seen with these bcd games teams look far from at their sharpest.

We’ll definitely be at a disadvantage at the start of the season but we could start to see a bonus around Christmas when you’d think we’d have fewer injury issues.In no way does not playing for four months put us at any kind of advantage against other teams in the Championship that currently are.
It isn't even an argument.
