Witham hampered by lack of training facilities

[FF News]

A LACK of training facilities is hampering Witham Town’s matchday preparations, according to manager Danny Greaves.

 

The boss is worried that his players are going into crucial games, which they must win to stand any chance of promotion, without being able to have proper training sessions.

 

“We weren’t able to train on the pitch on Thursday like most clubs because priority had been given to an U18 game being played,” he told thisistotalessex.co.uk. “It means you can’t train properly, work out set pieces and make the right preparations.

 

“I’m really worried for the players who give their all because at our level you simply have to be prepared and switched on from the start of the game with everyone knowing what’s happening.

 

“The people running the club must decide on their priorities in such circumstances but we can’t be expected to perform at our best when we can’t train properly.”

Saw this article a couple of days ago and held back commenting. Have to agree with the Witham faithful (see forum) that its very harsh comments from their playing management in respect of the set up there. Are not all ESL teams in the same boat?

DO ME A FAVOUR......who does Danny Greaves think he is managing, Chelsea?

 

Wow..get a grip. I have been at Southend Manor, Hullbridge, Basildon and Concord down the years, whether its Intermediate, ESL or Ryman, the conditions hamper things. Don't blame lack of training/set pieces on anything - jesus. Get real.

 

Even Southend United spent 9 days training indoors recently
