Two things that are puzzling... 09:28 - Aug 18 with 524 views

One. We hear all the time that Paul Cook teams are all about their fitness. He had a long preseason to get players fit. We even saw pictures of them running around carrying weights. They've looked knackered with 20 mins of games left. Not fit.

Two. I find it odd that we've signed so many clearly injured players or players whose fitness is way off.

Aluko - clearly unfit, seemingly carrying an injury.
Edmundson - signed injured.
Coulson - signed unfit to play
Fraser - signed clearly lacking fitness
Chaplin - plays one game looking suspiciously off the pace moves into the injured column straight away.
Burns - injured after one game.

These players aren't limping off in games after shocking tackles. They appear to have been signed carrying injuries.

One signing like that might be ok. But THAT many????

If one of Cook's predecessors had done it they'd be pilloried.

How many have been here a full pre season also? Very few.

Coulson - not injured - self-isolating.
Most of these players were not here for the whole of pre-season, some of then none of it.

	Ready! Steady! Cook!

Also Burgess virtually got here and straight on the bus to play , had not even met Wolf before last night ….. give these boys time and they will deliver .
My only concern is Cookie is missing Liam Richardson badly .
