The clubs level of sleep monitoring would have made a far better question at the recent fans forum rather than street signs.
ps. Re Thatcher. I’m pretty sure you wouldn’t have been around in the 70s. The constant power cuts, swathes of derelict bomb damaged sites left untouched for decades, rubbish piled up in Trafalgar Square and being held hostage to the blackmail of the Unions was not fun. She was far from perfect and I’m not a Thatcherite but by God she turned this country around from the sick man of Europe to its leading light. It’s now very trendy to slag her off when what she achieved (at admittedly great cost to some communities) was remarkable.
I thought maybe a thread of things that can be found on the www that might be mentally stimulating/unusual/interesting could be posted to wile away some time over the next three weeks. If it keeps some of you occupied and away from getting into trouble on street corners then it’s no bad thing.
I did raise the issue of sleep monitoring by the club on here some months ago. In my unscientific, humble opinion sleep is one of the main factors in physical performance. I’m basing this entirely on the fact that after a bad nights sleep I am very much sub optimal and slightly grumpy After two nights bad sleep I can barely function and after three nights bad sleep (thankfully a very rare occurrence) I am like an extra from Dawn of the Dead.
I can’t help but think that to a degree, this army of coaches stood at the sidelines lecturing an oncoming substitute with an iPad about what he should be doing is also, largely, bollox and simply an exercise in justifying their own employment.
This team is good enough to inject more pace, risk and imagination into their play for longer than 45 minutes simply because they’re up against it. This intensity should be the norm from the off. It may not be sustainable for 90 minutes but if we play like we did in the second half, even against better teams than PNE, we would score more, earlier.
Sadly I ended up having to pick my favourite ever player at RW as it was the only choice I had. Other than that I defy anyone to pick a worse team than this…..
