big john

I've seen Big John picking up training cones at Burton.

The NLP article tells us nothing really that we didn't already know and fails to include any direct quotes from John. A bit of a non-story really.

As well as he has done, to me his fitness is suspect. After 3 or 4 games he always looked tired and jaded to me.

Utter rubbish Big Johns fitness only looked suspect when we were playing 3 games a week near the end of the season and when he was carrying the groin/hip problem!

Then your watching a different player to me, he was tired long before the 3 games a week, stopped chasing etc. But at his age 3 games a week should not be that hard compared with a lot of the older players, who were out there game after game. Groin/hip no idea about that until a few games from the final

His fitness couldn't of been that bad,he pretty much played the full 90 most games. I do regularly go and see fleet matches and have been a supporter for over 20 years.

I rather have Big John storing his energy during games, rather than chasing pointless punts up field.

Absolutely!!!! You wouldn't want him turning pointless punts upfield into goals would you.

Yeah wasn't it what looked like a pointless punt that he chased down to set up That Goal.

Pacing yourself through the game comes with experience - how often have we seen enthusiastic 18 year olds run around like headless chickens for an hour , then run out of steam?

Top strkers are just as quick and alert in the 90th minute as the first - to me big John poses as much of a threat at the end as he does in the first minute of a game.

I dont think he does Gary, how many games did he start and finish? I don,t know just asking, but I do not think it was many.

This year is his make or break year, that is certain. 15 - 20 goals, and his value will soar. A poor, injury hit season with a loss of form,and we be wondering what all the fuss was about.
