How is it possible for our players to be tired after 20 mins - I just don’t get it

Because Cullen keeps pointing at them

The flanks make up a significant part of the pitch. Under Martin, I honestly believe if we could have strengthened there (Ogbene), we would have been in the play offs.
Since the Duff era, the flanks have become our downfall. Almost zero productivity and a real weak point, ripe for targeting.

Ronald is absolutely effin useless. Stealing a living. And if the powers to be can’t recognise that him, Key, Cullen Eom and a few others, then we’re toast.

See stamenic for the first goal too - fucking pathetic laziness to not even try and close the midfielder down.

Team full of lazy entitled wankers. Burgess can fuck off wi th that "defending" too

Genuine question if we lose both Pompey and Oxford, do we gamble and get a Rowatt type appointment (idk if there is any of those about) we cannot mess around here we need results.

Giving it to a guy who has managed 12 games in the 2nd Portugese division without his backroom staff is just shows a complete lack of appreciation for the position we are in.

None of them are going to get the players conditioned in two months. At least Matos seems to be a good coach but he’s dealing with an unfit squad whose morale is on the floor.

Desperately need a win to turn the tide

The start of today's game was a step in the right direction. The only positive we have in terms of fitness is there is still a long way to go in the season.

Anyone think Sheehans obsession with only playing some players an hour was a result of poor match fitness or has it been a cause for poor match fitness? Sheehan and co should be shafted for their lack of conditioning

They've fucked us big time.

No fitness, no idea with the ball, nothing
