Just asking, its not my opinion. I'm keen to know your feelings?
It's not a SISU out or a moan...
The Fred Eastwood Saga- Fitness right?
"He needs to get his act together" "had all season to get fit" "sent to fat camp"
OK, now lets explore something else...
We're playing a striker who we have just 'purchased' (What ever that really means)
Who says something recently along the lines of "I thought I was feeling pretty sharp, but its clear after a couple of matches I need more work on my fitness" - he's also clearly over the weight of the average player.
Personally, I always seem to think juke (Easier to spell) always looks tired at circa 66 minutes onwards - perhaps the reason for his lack of goal - only 'plays' for 3/4 of a match?
And... (Not that this one matters - but I'm just putting an argument forward) BBC sports match preview states "midfielder David Bell faces a fitness test." Why? We've had 2 weeks without a competitive match?
Could it be:
a) We've made cuts to the back room - perhaps people like nutritionists, fitness specialists, specialised fitness planners for each individual (as our bodies are all different)
b) We've had the same back room team since SISU arrived and no one is sharp enough to realise that this has been a problem.
Pre-SISU we we're named the fittest team in the championship, just before they came in (I forget under which Manager) - OK no success, but not really the point I'm making.
Since SISU arrived, we have had a substantial amount of 'last minute' or near to - goals.
Nothing to do with money if it is them - but it is a clear indicator that even if they ever made money from the club, they would still struggle to make us successful on the pitch if they over-look a simple basic like that.
Sounds to me like Thorn likes a bit of drama, he's not calm and collected like Bothroyd was. Take his recent 'they've got three managers the sack' talk. Exact same individuals in the same team for three years - really? NO
If Eastwood has piped up at Thorns tactics then I could see Thorn 'banishing him' from the club. Also, I don't know if anyone else saw this against Southampton, but after one of their goals, Deegan ran over and had a face to face (What looked like a row) with Thorn, just before half time. He was subsequently replaced at half time.
So is Fred out for reasons of 'up-rising' 'Syria style' - "Pipe down, you'll encourage the others and we'll lose our rule" but disguised as 'fitness issues'
After all - how can one un-fit player be made to leave and three others continue to stay?
