Looks like the club have brought in some external fitness coaching for some of the players. There is a post on instagram from lpfitness tagging Jay Da Silva explicitly.

This is a good thing, I don't think the team's fitness level has looked anything like it did last season or the one before, despite what Douglas reckons.

Dean and Claire really are stealing a living at this club. “Top 6 deck” and “fittest ever” won’t have come from Doug’s personal observations.

SHUNT31 · Jan 6, 2025

People were wrongly questioning the work of Dr Claire earlier in the season but isn’t this the area she was brought in to improve?

I think it’s obvious we are not as fit as we should be. Always seem to be second to 50/50’s and loose balls.

I think they’re just tagging the socks he’s wearing

If its not the area she was brought into improve why did King talk about how fit the squad was when he was defending her?

Be careful. You'll offend someone

Dr Claire is stealing a living because Jay Dasilva has a sock sponsor?

I’ll add it to the list

Haha fair. I still don’t think we’re fit though (not since Godden left )

I don’t know, I can’t remember exactly what was said during the forum if I’m honest. But if that’s how it went down then yes, I guess so.

Don't buy LB fitness socks

No but 'fiddest ever' might have.

Dasilva - Has sock sponsor
SBT - Fucking Dr Claire, useless bitch

It really depends on the interpretation of fitness. e.g. You could be extremely "fit" to run 100m fast, but very "unfit" if covering 12km box to box as a midfield player with 15% of that distance undertaken at top speed.
Hence, the generic use of "fitness" is not helpful ....as level is specific to the type of activity.

PVA · Jan 6, 2025

Isn't Chris Jones a fitness coach? Hopefully he can have a positive impact.

Sick Boy · Jan 6, 2025

Surely we actually have a dedicated fitness coach?

wingy · Jan 6, 2025

The person responsible for fitness should be redundant by now, they probably are tbf,we just haven't heard cos we're too polite?

I would think when they refer to fitness they’re probably talking about objective testing - eg lactate testing or similar.

You would hope that’s the level we’re at as a club. Obviously that doesn’t always directly translate to results on the pitch.

Then what’s the point of it?

wingy · Jan 6, 2025

Endurance testing might be handy?

Yes, but he's also a coach. I thought that was his remit here but probably some cross over

robbiethemole · Jan 6, 2025

2 years ago we were burning teams off after 90+ minutes, now we looked fooked after 65, what's going on here??

fernandopartridge · Jan 6, 2025

TBF on the fitness testing, given that we have spent hardly any of the season ahead in matches we might well look tired as we're literally chasing the game most of the time. Only 3 teams in the division have spent last time trailing than us all season:

Championship time spent leading or trailing during matches

I think fittest ever was Doug referencing himself when he looked in the mirror.

If its true its a good thing, we need to be fitter and stronger and be able to see games out.

Really? I remember a few seasons back half the team were dead on their by half time.
Doesn't seem too bad now.

Think that's Chris Jones who was mentioned earlier.
He's a fitness coach but also a coach. Think his remit was coaching when he worked under Lampard before but as I mentioned earlier, there's probably some cross over.

PVA · Jan 6, 2025

To be fair we have won the joint most points after the 75th minute.

And second most net points won/lost after 75th minute.

The best one is the video where we kind of spins around and points at the camera and says, "join the journey".

It's the same video!

Frankly insane that not even six months after buying the club, he decided to launch season ticket prices by posing in his underwear - and people actually liked it!

shepardo01 · Jan 6, 2025

Players have a day off today.
Possibly Dasilva doing a bit extra?
I do know that when Lampard came in with his team, they were not impressed by the fitness levels of the players.
