Whoever comes in if there's a change, I hope they look to address the lack of fitness and conditioning of our players. Considering how many points we have dropped in the last 15mins of games this season.

Lack of fitness leads to poor focus and concentration resulting in mistakes.

Successful teams home and abroad have players who not only technically good footballers but also have a level of fitness and athleticism to be able to sustain the demands of competitive football week in week out.

We have really struggled to change gear in games this season. We seem so intent on setting the scene from kick off with a slow tempo and find it difficult then to change the pace of the game.

There was a decent section on Goals on Sunday the other week when Strachan was talking about fitness at Leeds when they won the title. Basically attributed alot of their success to senior players setting a high bar for fitness that anyone coming into the club was expected to reach.

I think any manager worth their salt will be able to sort the fitness out. No shock that we look as unfit and unbalanced under Martinez as we did under Mike Walker who was another clueless manager and didn't seem to be able to prepare training sessions properly

He didn't have much to do with training sessions. Apparently, Walker used to trot downstairs in his shorts at the end of the sessions and ask the coaches "Everything ok?"
