Training was good last night, Genghis did a good job there. There is a direct correlation between lack of football at training and good performances on the Sunday after so we should be up for a stormer this weekend. Good bit of agility, little bit of ball work, but good test of sharpness under duress. When you're unfit/knackered you're getting less oxygen to the brain so you're a little slower and a little less able to make the right decision. Why you all ran away from the goalposts which were right next to you I'll never know, but I guess it showed willingness.

Between Mikey and I we'll be doing more of that sort of thing because it develops the right kind of fitness - short bursts of running rather than overall stamina - and it makes you sharper towards the end of games. It's not a weak area for us anymore anyway but you can always get better...
