Maresca

We had a poor pre season imo. I said to my Cov fan mate at work that we are very undercooked for this game.
The fact we got a result is superb.
More miles in the legs, more time for the newbies to settle in. We will get better and today was a day where the result was way bigger than the performance. I feel better about our chance's

What made you think we were undercooked? By all accounts the training sessions have been really intense, with a heavy emphasis on fitness and stamina. We also played one more preseason game than Coventry despite the cancelled Spurs match.

Virtually everyone in the game always says that there is no substitution for games to establish match fitness. So the lack of games probably led him to that conclusion?
The fact that the covscum were even more undercooked has nothing to do with our preparation.
Why we ditched NFPs schedule of PSFs building from non-league, through the domestic div's, to a comparable-league finale, is beyond me – that always seemed really sensible.

Just re-watched.
Loved seeing him celebrate the winner with some passion. Rather than stone faced with baby hands clapping.
I know ultimately it doesn’t make a huge difference but it was nice to see.

Totally agree. Passion in a manager can’t be undervalued

More matches are vitally important over just training. Intensity levels, while not at the level of a league game still would be up a good few notches from a training session.
Also matches will show you what any player is really about. Obviously he’s seen something he likes in vestergaard in training, but matches will show the truth.

Well we didn’t look undercooked to me yesterday. In fact, we looked stronger as the game went on. Based on that performance, I’d say any fears about our preseason leaving us ill-prepared were unfounded.

You are spot there Clapham
I for one said we would be undercooked but yes, as the game went on we got stronger.
Maybe they have started training at their luxury hideaway.
 
I agree that, although covscum were no Brentford, and it was nowhere near as hot, there was a marked improvement on fitness compared to the last cunt's regime.
Has anyone heard what the medical / Dr situation is, as I'm sure his dodgy doc pissed off back to sweatyland?
