Monday morning office quick glance again. Too much of a Charlton thing to happen again surely. And it fooken did... And my Leeds supporting brother in law just messaged. Fuck him, fuck monday.... Lets have a coffee
Simples. 1. Should have finished them off in the first half. 2. Too reliant on lumping the ball forward 3. Nothing creative in midfield. 4. Players were running on empty and should have been replaced and of course we also give goals away in the 94th and 95th minutes, nothing new there.
Yes yes, but why right at the epicentre throng of existential pissed life crisis on a rainy night in amongst human worm farm of the Perth casino...? Why why why why..?

Bloody hell mate, hope they've locked away any sharp tools and knives.... sounds like you need the Samaritans. On second thoughts they would think you (and the rest of us) are beyond help!

Charlton..? Dangerous of ever hitting any target...?? Knives are safe in our hands...

I'd love to know how they 'fuel' for these matches, because in cycling parlance, some of them seemed to suffer a bit of a 'bonk'. Someone like @Leroy Ambrose might shed some light on that. All I know if that when I was struggling in my training for the prostate cancer ride a mate taught me how to eat properly on a long ride, and I felt like I go cylcle much further than before. And if you saw how Chris Froome won the Giro d'Italia, that was all about fuelling. For all I know the team get energy drinks or bars/gels at half time, but if they don't, they really should.
They'd probably have to buy them themselves though.

Fuelling is different for cycling. Tends to only really kick in after about two and a half hours. The first two hours of an activity you're using up fuel that you've already got - it's only two hours in that you start to 'bonk' when you haven't started eating early enough in the bike. If you bonk before then, you haven't fuelled correctly to start with - and that's a basic requirement of any conditioning program for sport. Generally, most clubs will have a fitness and nutrition coach who is supposed to take care of this type of stuff - I'm guessing it's possible we haven't got anyone doing that properly because we're such a shambles - but any pro athlete should know how to fuel properly (they used to call it 'carbing up' before science proved how stupid just loading up on pasta was) before their sport.
There's actually a lot of science about all this - specifically around endurance sport so not 100% related to football, but enough of it can be translated across
If you're really bored, here's my fuelling strategy for a 240 mile ride I did on Saturday
Hour 1-3 - 2x 750ml bottles with electrolytes, 1x 60ml energy gel Hour 4 - 1x 750ml bottle with electrolytes Stop for breakfast (full English! Coffee, lucozade) Hour 5-7 2x 750ml bottles with electrolytes, slice of coffee cake, cappuccino, 1x 60ml energy gel Stop for a coke, bar of chocolate Hour 8-10 2x 750ml bottle with electrolytes, 2x 60ml energy gels, cappuccino Stop for an ice cream and lucozade Hour 11-14 2x 750ml bottle with electrolytes, 2x 60ml energy gels
The pattern there is the energy gels are always when I start to feel a bit tired. After a while when you ride regularly, you learn the signs of impending tiredness and a gel is a great way to relieve that. I'd be surprised if the players didn't take something like a gel at half time if they feel tired, but put bluntly, if they're bonking late in in the second half, it's not going to be a fuelling issue - more of a conditioning one

*I fell asleep in the 94th minute.
My Donald reckon we're on the dunes...
