The sport leader article in Yorkshire Post on Saturday was an interview with Martin Clawson about the difficulties of upholding a training regime when everyone is locked down. He came across really well and put some very valid points about finding out who the team's leaders really are from their state of readiness once the team can get back together. He makes the point that human nature is such that some players will report back fit to take the field and others will need a few weeks to get full fitness. Once the ban is lifted we may not have a few weeks to prepare.

Says it how it is, good on him. We’ll have to wait and see who he’s referring to.

Great piece...


Well, at least Pauli wont be getting any stick from people BLM.....

Makes you glad Pauli Pauli is off the books. Of course form a cohort of 30 first team players there are those who not comeback tiptop. Not going to suggest they are letting anyone down as such, not everyone is going to be able to cope with this situation in the same way.

Trying to keep 3 people focused remotely is beyond me at the moment.

He's quoted as saying there are 56 players on the books that need to keep their fitness levels. Not just for first team but these are critical times for the youngsters coming through. If we can't keep them engaged we could lose a generation of players. All this work to create strong player pathways could be wasted if we can't maintain contact with this particular cohort of young players.

I’d worry about the first team players more than the younguns to be honest.
