This will be a good indication of where our season will go. A win, following the others should boost the confidence of the team and may indicate we have turned a corner at the start of our horrific run. Lose and we may have to get the lube for Nov-Dec and expect a pounding. A draw will be inconclusive, as we got a decent draw against the Dippers then went back to last season form almost immediately.

With these injuries ongoing, a draw would be a good result. Honestly, we are at best hoping to be somewhere near top ten until January can bring back an almost full roster.

That sucks if true.. 

Like someone suggested on the other thread these players need to also practice Yoga or something different if their fitness is so poor.

Even light work puts their body under strain??

[Blue Armour 4,168]

Also, coincidentally.

That might explain a lot.

[Special Juan 27,104]

Reece James is a crock, end of, bloke is completely broken.

[DH1988 1,199]

How is it such a mystery when he is the stiffest guy known to EPL.

[bluesman2610 1,227]

He needs to stop lifting heavy weights , stick to body weight exercises, plyometrics, yoga for improved flexibility and ice baths and massages after every session. As a club who spent millions on sports science data and staff how can they not see this. When I was playing D1 US college soccer this is how they kept us optimal especially in season.

Or, maybe that isn't the underlying issue?

Part fo the Clearlake clearout was to get rid of the physios and backroom staff that had been there for years. The Physio was outsourced to a company called 'Restore' - dont know if thats ironic or not or whether they support Red teams

I expect Palmer and Disasi to start. From others only Nkunku and James I see for starting 11.
