Big Phil is going to try his best to analyse and attempt to rectify this he has said before I believe. I think that a lot of it this year is due to players not getting their fitness high enough in pre season. Then we had players getting thrown in with little or any game time and expected to play every game themselves. Of course we have still had some bad luck but I do believe that a good pre season can and will reduce injuries throughout the season.

Hope you’re wrong and that Lens also don't realise that hammer throwers are allowed to kick lumps out of anyone wearing a Rangers strip.

Blueshoff 11,844 Posted March 6 Share Posted March 6 Really like the way he plays but we've got to be pragmatic - if we can find a similar player at a similar price then don't take up the option. By the summer we'll know if we have CL money coming in which could alter the clubs priorities. HG5, Bobby Hume and Hadron Collider 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well fuck knows, but hopefully Clement and his team are all over this and get it sorted somehow. Darth Bear, Amokachi and Bears r us 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basically what I'm waiting for. The fitness levels since Gerrard left have dropped dramatically and we need to get that back.

Will be good to see what Clement does with a proper pre-season, see what the levels are like next season. HG5 and Darth Bear 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can push the players in pre season until they are exhausted to build up fitness levels and stamina. Then when the season starts all you are doing is maintaining it. Playing twice a week would go a long way towards doing that and leave players doing that not needing fitness training. Squad players would obviously have a different programme to keep their fitness levels up. Maintaining a level of fitness is a lot easier than gaining fitness in my opinion anyway.
