Before Ipswich scored on Sat I said to my friend that I thought our players were running around as if they were already tired. I note that A N said as much and that he had finished Friday training early as a result. If I were of any influence, and had the money, I would take the squad on a two day spay break. Massages, swimming pool,etc etc with built in analysis time to look at team plays cos at times players were on different wavelengths, and forget about ball work, just refresh the body and refocus the mind in prep for the run in to end of season.
Any others think this would be useful. What would you suggest.
I shall sit back and read responses with interest.

I agree there very fit young men a day or sos rest will not do them any harm and allow them to recharge their batteries
 
I thought they all wore monitors nowadays? I'm surprised a session would even be started of they were showing signs of fatigue or tiredness?

Keeping them ticking over now is all that's required I would think, especially with a Tuesday night game coming up.
 
We have enough quality by far in the squad to see off Ipswich..Mcartneys team are just a bunch of plodders with centre halves who head the ball away all day.The fact remains is that North End either wernt up for it on the day or its again down to the business end of the season where we regulary come up short.Ive said it many times in the past,this club doesnt want to go to the Premier Legue otherwise we would be signing far better players.Im not blinded by all this tosh PR and co put out at fans meetings they tell you what you want.If North End actuallly get promoted i will personally travel back home 9 hours and show my arse in Fishergate !

That doesnt really make any sense whatever, if Im honest.

Yes I agree we have far better players than Ipswich.

Just take a step back and think about that.

"PNE have far better players than Ipswich."

That statement alone is amazing especially when you consider its not many moons ago that we signed anthony elding.

Im sure Saturday was one of those collective off days that every team and PNE have occasionally. We`ll find out soon enough at bolton because Id say that PNE also have far better players than Bolton have, also.

Any more performances like Ipswich and they should be sent on a Spar break
 
TIRED ? They want to try working on a building site nearly 6 days a week then playing football Saturday Afternoon & sunday morning. They also had 24hrs extra rest than Ipswich, NO excuses, just one of them days.
 
Sod the spa break. I'd suggest some warm weather traing in Gran Canaria, or maybe even the Bahamas. I'd go along personally, just to keep an eye on the training and to make sure the players aren't stealing taxis and stuff like that. A couple of weeks should be enough.
 
Spa break !!
Ffs no one on this forum should know what that is, its the first question on the membership form, all persons on this thread admitting knowledge should be banned.
What is a spa break by the way.
