I suppose it's a wonderful headache for Agar to have after the last two seasons ! I don't see how he can keep everyone totally happy when they're all fit and wanting to play. Players must by now have picked up the odd knock or strain and in my opinion he should introduce the guys who haven't played yet one at a time and rest the odd player. I know the old saying of if it's not broke don't fix it but all the main players in the squad need match time cos injuries will come no doubt. With a slight rotation system it would, I'm sure, keep them all happy to a certain extent, we don't want the situation where guys have to have injections to get them on the park again. Give one a two a rest now and again I say, look at how Tickle is playing now as he's been spelled during the game.

Still the same for loans, its the dual contract that have a instant recall IIRC

And if your Wigan , you can loan out players who are already dual contracted !!!

I know we can never make him into a super-fast player but surely some specialist sprint training would make a huge difference? Do FC ever get involved with this sort of thing nowadays?

Increasing someones speed is actually notoriously difficult to do.

Borderline impossible.

I think Patrick Beth might have something to say about that.

Surely all sprinters have coaches who work on their technique to improve acceleration and overall speed. Whiting doesn't need to do a 10 second hundred metres but a little work might improve him by 0.5 sec +. That would be a big difference for him.
