jaded!!!!!!!!

[esdailles left foot]

after 3 feckin' games. try doing 5 night shifts. you pampered, overpaid tossers.

[mjdgreg]

I know. It's ridiculous. Too much time spent without the ball running around like headless chicken.

[afro goal machine]

they should let the ball do the running ! 

[Not Now Kato]

They should train better.
 
Their lack of energy looks more like they sit around Cantley Park reading the Sun than actually training.

Think about it. 3 games in 7 days. Players run on average 4-7 Km per game, 12-21 km in a week. THEY are not marathon runners you know.

It's the same for the other teams. Shouldn't be used as an excuse.

But they are professional athletes who should be training as such.

Some of them are new to this level. Some are coming back from significant periods of injury. Some didn't have a full pre-season. We're a long way from settling as a side.

Look it's simple. Keep possession better. Let the ball do the work. Sorted.

[GazLaz]

They could play everyday but the more often they play in a week the level they play at drops. Slight fatigue can just take the edge off, and then clueless fans complain and compare it to them doing 5 night shifts in their tin pot job. Jokers.

I'm sure once James Harper is fully fit and in the starting XI that will improve. That said, we have to accept beyond Spurr we don't have defenders comfortable on the ball and playing the ball around for 90 minutes at this level just can't be done as defenders who can do the nasty stuff AND play the ball around just aren't available at this level.

I half expected some tired legs to be honest. 3 games in 7 days, no strength in depth to rest/rotate players, I bet Saunders is pulling his hair out. I wish the powers that be would give the bloke a chance,let him have the 3-4 players he desperately needs & then we can judge him as a manager.

[DonnyBazR0ver]

Always amazes me. The number of coaches we have in the game and the players are still underprepared physically and mentally.

When you look at the preparation athletes and their coaches put in the can only be one conclusion about the attitude in football. Lazy.

DS Said that "Some" players looked "Jaded", not all and not that they were "Jaded". With a squad size like DRFC have, if 2 or 3 "Look Jaded", what can DS do. Not an excuse.

jaded my arse ha ha

I used to do 3-4 10 mile runs a week whilst been a constant 2 stone over weight and I never considered myself to be nearly as fit as a pro footballer.

[nortikorner]

theses a difference from jogging to running ( less whisky)

[hoolahoop]

If we're ''jaded'' now then we need to sort it out . 3 games in and we're jaded...........feck me this is going to be a long long season. 

[whisky]

Yes, there's also a difference between an average slightly over weight man and a professional athlete.

[Wild Rover]

Ok, look at it this way, how many times does Bolt, Farah, or any other athlete run their distances in a week. i would suggest a sprinter maybe competitivly 3 or 4 max, a distance runner  2 , and those runs are circuits, not here there and everywhere. Is there a reason why the "Runs" are limited , yes of course there are, DRFC ( and i dont know this ), obviously do some form of "Running" in training, perhaps as much in a week as enough to fill two games of 90 min, so its not all about just 3 games is it. Neither is Bolt , farah etc about 2,3 or 4 competative races.

[DearneValleyRover]

I'm sure all who work on here are 'jaded' at the end of their working week compared to the start of it. No one can perform at the very peak of their abilities all the time and in an athlete being a couple of percent below par is noticeable. I run 40 miles per week and even with all conditions being equal I never feel exactly the same on each run and my times vary accordingly and I'm not a professional.
