We looked perfectly fit against Luton and Rennes during Lop's last week. A small sample size perhaps but I don't buy the **** around the players not being fit enough for how he apparently wants to play.
I just think what he's saying is crap. JL had us in a really god place; there were no fitness issues in the pre-season games. Suddenly we go to not being able to keep going in the 2nd half, certainly evidenced in the last 3 games. Surely players reach a peak of fitness and training is all about maintaining that level? I think it's insulting to suggest they weren't fit. Whatever GON is doing is knackering them."When asked what has changed in training, O'Neil revealed it is now much harder on the players than it was under predecessor Julen Lopetegui.
He added: "It's harder and more intense. I don't know about the duration, it might be shorter, but the intensity is definitely higher.
"Having spoken to the players and looked at the numbers they were producing before I got here, compared to what we do now, training is a bit more intense than what it was."
Another chance for him to distance himself from Lopetegui and I dont see this as a dig, as such because he's asked a specific question that he replies to.
But the way we finish games now is surely telling him something doesn't work.
Weve seen drastically decrease in performances in the Second half in 3 of his 5 first games. Could this training lead to that?
Shorter but more intense sessions will build up their ability to do the short high intensity runs, but might not benefit their endurance. It also takes some time to recover from.
Gary O'Neil working to improve Wolves' fitness levels
Gary O'Neil admits he is still working to improve the fitness of his Wolves side after upping the intensity in training.www.expressandstar.com
I’ve seen the ‘hatred’ posts on this forum and have openly opposed such posts.
JL had us in a really good place ,, seriously?? He just had us stuffed 6 0 and 5 0 in case you have forgotten
You think I was a good coach?
Not watched anything like all of it and will do later but what is immediately obvious which I’ve not seen before is the whole squad doing the warm up in the gym together. Previously you’d have some on bikes, some playing basketball or the football tennis game, some doing weights and others chatting. This is everyone together doing the same exercises at the same time.
Yet without wanting to put the kiss of death on it, i think we are the only squad without any injuries in the prem at the moment
Mods … have a word!
Thought i saw the back of his head at the start but then nothing after, i guess if there is an issue GON will let us know this avo in his presser
The forward aye there, bar Neto ..
Forwards are probably still away
He will cause Bournemouth hell.
Hope so
Sasa has been on international duty
And Fabio with Portugal u21,s
Fabio looks happy enough. Doesn’t seem to be acting out and from what I’m hearing, GON is quite happy with his efforts.
Marvin kaleta from the academy
Believe his name is Kaleta U21 defender
Could well be..... but you deprived us of his full name....

No sight of Bellegarde in the latest first team training photos. Hope his injury isn’t too bad.
