| international call ups on 14:24 - Oct 15 by francisbowles | Gazza, I pointed out some of the problems of long haul travel and flying. Not all of them happen every time to everybody. I feel you have turned full circle and now are going 'over the top', albeit I think it might be 'tongue in cheek'. The club will probably carry out various tests to facilitate recovery and how many minutes they would recommend. FWIW I think, Jimmy and Smythy, no problem. Saito back on Wednesday evening, should be ok for most of not all of the game. Kolli has been to Somalia and Algeria. Not too far and minimal time change, should be ok. Burrell and Haydn will be back very late, maybe Friday morning. Burrel bench, Hayden rest and available for Swansea and Derby. |
Wasn't Jamaica's last game this month played yesterday, Tuesday evening? Would think they travelled back today Wednesday too. |  | |  |

| international call ups on 15:41 - Oct 15 by gazza1 | I do not detest or have a real opinion. The only opinion I have is that your post is well OTT but, hey, maybe you are 100% right. All I say is that these men are 'professional athletes', super fit, strong, etc, etc.......not the normal guys sitting in the 'cattle truck' seats unable to move around for a few hours, etc, etc, eating rubbish from the stewards trolley. I, just, wonder what players will do when the next World Cup is being played in USA, Mexico & Canada.....your post suggests there will be major health issues for the players, flying here there and everywhere. |
Well they will be there well before, so time to acclimatise. Coast to coast is only a three hour time change and a four hour flight, so not long haul and I don't think they will catching the 'red eye', so a lot less issues than during an international break. |  | |  |

Yes my mistake, maybe arrive back Thursday morning. It's usually an overnight flight from the Caribbean. |  | |  |

Yes, and that 90 minutes have been pretty average indeed.......maybe less than 'pretty average' actually. |  | |  |

Can somebody explain to me why Burrell & Saiki were not able to start presumably because they are 'drained, unfit & unwell' from 1st Class travelling whilst on international matches but they are OK to come on for time in the 2nd half?? It's rubbish......cannot start but can play in the 2nd half!!!! Proper rubbish. They could have replaced two of our poorer players today, Vale & Frey, and, perhaps, made a difference to the scoreline. |  | |  |

Can you explain why you persistently use a seemingly random combination of vowels and consonants instead of the fairly straightforward surname ‘Saito’? |  | |  | Login to get fewer ads

Kolli told he has no future here. Not saying JS doesn’t pick the side, but the fella who’ll be out in January probably isn’t at the forefront of his plans. |  | |  |

Not seen this publicised. How do you know this and if so, who exactly has said to Kolli, he has no future here ? |  |

Someone at the club told me, and it was a senior member of staff that said it. |  | |  |

Christ, Gazza.... We've done this to death. What part of 'managing minutes, fatigue and player welfare do you not understand? It's not as if our club is doing this differently from every other club in the universe! |  | |  |

I think I am quite clear but you do not want to answer my question.....Here is my simple question for you or anybody else!!! Why is a player fit to enter the field of play for the second half but not a fit for a starting place in the first 11?? .....as per Burrell yesterday. And I do not care about any other club in the universe!!! [Post edited 19 Oct 11:07]

You seriously need it explaining to you why someone might have the aerobic capacity to perform at maximum ability for 30 minutes but not 90 based upon their schedule? I mean we pay about 30 professionals to manage data and processes around this exact stuff but yeah I'm sure 'Gazza' on Loft For Words who can't spell 'Saito' knows better. Tedious nonsense at this point. |  | |  |

I think that PS has encapsulated the answer for me. I think you need to take a look in the mirror. On this point it is you who are the uneducated poster. 😁 |  | |  |

Easy answer for you Francis. But he hasn't at all........who says he has to play 90 minutes??? If he is fit for the 2nd half then why not the 1st half?? |  | |  |

I dunno maybe they just make it up. I've never read that the lad is going anywhere, yet literally every time he is mentioned in a thread somewhere someone says he is out of favour and leaving! It's tedious and very boring. |  |

Well it's usual practice that the manager is told he is good for a number of minutes. I am not ITK but let's say he was told 30 to 40 minutes. What does he do, start him and Saito and take them off after 40 minutes, five or more minutes before halftime? Or, does he see how the game is going and put them on between 55 & 60 minutes and getting to use their strengths, pace and skill, against tiring defenders? |  | |  |

My view..... Start them, put your best team out, get in a winning position if you can, players confidence grows, the team gets better, lots of positives, crowd reactions, lots and lots. Then review it at half time, perhaps, and make another decision. Basically, the two players who came in for the two you mention were our weak links and the players left out may have made a big difference to the result of the game. Thanks, at last, for answering my question....my view, also, if he fit to play the 2nd half he is fit to start. |  | |  |
