Used to be only Wednesday at egham, did hear they hardly trained at all last yr.

[The Mayor Of Simpleton]

Twice a week at Hartpury College, I am led to believe.

[Chubby Brown]

Adam, go on why don't you give chapter and verse of Hartpury College, you know you want to!! I'm sure its somewhere you've had one of your many 'experiences'......... bore off.

[The Mayor Of Simpleton]

Would be delighted to Chubby, why not entertain us with some stories of your own as well dear....

[Redrup No2]

We're training once this year on a Wednesday!!!

[Mark-Tommo]

A few clubs are trainin once this season, any reason for this? Cost of floodlights? Work commitments? Surely this is going to have an effect on the football played in the CCL?

[Smudge]

Training is pointless at this level in my opinion.Reason being, a Coach never knows who is going to turn up to each Session.How can he work on set plays etc.Take Corners as an example ,when taken all the offensive players just stand like statues till the ball is kicked.Watch next time your at a game.

[The Mayor Of Simpleton]

Providing the players all keep their fitness levels up by cycling, swimming, jogging etc. then perhaps they can get away with only one session of training a week.

[Smudge]

Whats the point in that Adam,all negated by the Saturday night Clubbing.Drink in quantity,brings the best of us down.I speak from experience.

[The Mayor Of Simpleton]

The point being that if they don't work on their fitness off the park, then they will struggle to play on it.

 

It's no good having the skills of Ronaldo or Messi if you have a Buddha belly preventing you from doing anything with them.

[Smudge]

Why bring Krooner into it?

Only once a year seems a bit extreme

[Chubby Brown]

That would explain Knaphill's poor start to the season I suppose!!

[Mark-Tommo]

Fully agreement with your first reply Smudge!!

[Mark-Tommo]

To be honest, is this league really that tactical?? At this level, if your 11 is better than there's, your gona win!

[The Mayor Of Simpleton]

I would argue that fitness is probably more key than tactical nous at Step 5-6.

 

The fitter teams tend to do better than those who just use training as a 'kick about session.' Most of the sides who won their respective Step 5/6 leagues last season did so because they were fitter than most of the sides around them. True, you need a resilient defence and one or two strikers who can put the ball away, but sides that can go for 90 minutes are usually those that finish on top.
