[thick_mike]

Nicely done.

Great! Stolen for FB.

[Smirker]

How about Rudy, Rudy, Rudy, Rudy, Rudy, Rudy. To the kaiser chiefs tune?

How about absolutely not.

I thought Kasabian was bad enough. Kaiser Chiefs?

[Louzie0]

Right, Gestede.

[KRS]

So why is Rudy not fully match fit...is he recovering from injury or just lack of preseason training?

[mr underhill]

no pre season according to Tim

[aj2k77]

Just a thought but why weren't they training with their previous clubs in pre season, all the players we bought?

[thick_mike]

They were sulking

[mr underhill]

on route via trains planes and automobiles to hotel rooms in or around BMH

There really isn't much of an excuse for players not to be fit for the start of a new season injury being the only exception

I agree on being physically fit, but match fit is slightly different if they haven't had the opportunity to play any friendlies.

Yep all of these lads are physically fit. But running around at PL level is a big difference. But they will all quickly be up to speed and we have a few players who need to get going in that regard. The time to judge us will be late Sept onwards when we will have a bit of (forward) momentum hopefully.

I'm a bit concerned that when he's on the pitch we just hoof it. That's not going to work and he really needs to improve his general play.

I thought his general touch was okay yesterday, more surprised how many headers he lost.  His problem was lack of involvement seemingly unable to make short/sharp moves to provide an outlet for the midfielders.
