How much can we read into who isnt there tomorrow ?
By my reckoning.. The following may not report tomorrow:

G. Thomas
Haynes
Turnbull
Beavon

Also maybe (although i think they will train even if they are leaving):

Willis
Stevenson
Harries

In addition to the above, wonder if we will have any triaists?

Why would Turnbull and Beavon not turn up? They're still under contract.

Surely all players unless released have to turn up as they are still contracted. Even if it's for a meeting rather than running drills conditional work.

Is this the last chance meeting to see plans and will MR withdraw contracts offered and press forward in other options?

They'd be silly not to, unless they are given permission to train with another club

They may not want to be here but they're still contracted to us.

I'd quite like them both to stay, and maybe Robins can convince them to!

Agree they should all be there, as they are still under contract albeit only until Friday

Thomas and harries surely won't be there they've just finished that tournament. They'd have been given an extra week to rest hopefully

I'd still have everyone back in tomorrow for the pre season brief. Important to kick off a pre-season promotion campaign feeling like an inclusive team with a proper collective understanding of what the plans are between now and August 5th even if everyone is not yet ready to be out on the grass in the afternoon.

Today will just be a team meeting with Robins outlining what he expects from them and possibly some condition analysis.

Be interesting to see if we have many trial players this summer or whether that was just another part of the Mowbray recruitment bullshit. Seemed to be a revolving door last year whereas the recruitment this year has been much more targetted.

The Sky Blues will be put through their paces with a two-day programme of fitness tests at Warwick University before taking to the grass with a ball at Ryton on Thursday and Friday.


And the man helping to assess the players’ fitness is former Sky Blues Academy graduate and Nuneaton Town legend Mark Noon, who is a lecturer in sport and exercise science at Warwick Uni which has forged strong links with the club.

Asked what the players will be doing over the next two days Noon, who is also assistant manager to former Nuneaton boss Kevin Wilkin at Brackley Town in Northamptonshire, said: “It’s basically to get some baseline assessments to see what level the players are at.

The players will be going in in pairs staggered over the two days.

“They will be doing some body composition assessments looking at muscle and fat mass,” said Noon,
“There are a couple of these tests, one where they stand on the plates and jump as high as they can and then there’s another which is called a drop jump where they drop down onto the plate and then jump up. It measures exactly that and also looks at their jump strategy, how they jump and how that changes with fatigue. And there can be markers throughout the season as to whether a player is ready to train or play.”

He added: “The last test is the Vo2 max test on the treadmill which is a mark of their aerobic power, which is important for them to recover from those really intense, short bursts that they regularly do in a match.

If we can get Thomas signed up that squad doesn't look bad.

Also missed Peter Vincenti.
