Did anyone else think of Roy Castle when they saw the title?
I'd like to think that Jordan's record breaking achievement was something more random like sitting in a bath of baked beans for 2 weeks or growing the largest onion ever.
Watt is a sprinter JC is a long distance runner... A striker usually runs 3-5km a game whereas a box to box midfielder usually tops 10-15km
You want new strikers if they're only running 3-5km a game. You want 8 even upto 10km from your striker and 15km would be not too far from what most Championship midfielders cover in a busy game.
Not sure that's quite correct. I remember Pritchard getting a load of press for covering something like 13km against Wolves a couple of years back and that was the highest tally of any player in the championship that season or something.
Maybe I've overcooked the midfielders but I haven't for the strikers, I know George Boyd of Burnley AVERAGED just over 12km a match and that's over the course of the season, point still stands that if your striker usually runs 3-5km a game you are really going to struggle, there would be hardly any closing down and you'd be missing a fair few runs. Strikers cover similar to defenders and midfielders edge it with about 1.5x them both I would say.
Do you work for Brentford now Wharburton has gone? Interestingly they pulled out of Kramer race because his stats didn't add up.
I have a good feeling about Cousins this season. I get the impression he is being moulded for captaincy. He is the poster boy on our new kit campaign Frank has clearly come back to training in extremely good shape. I do wonder if he has been promised the captaincy this season.
Also we have to say fair play to Morgan Fox for pushing him all the way on that club record
I ran the 1500m in exactly 5 minutes when aged 11, so is it just me that thinks that time is quite slow for a young midfield professional? The guy who beat me at our sports day ran 4 mins 50 secs.
Not a boast on my behalf. I ran for the school at this distance in Bexley competitions (never for an athletics club) and never finished in the top 3 or anything.

Rooney the only high scoring striker in the top 10 in the Premier League

Some of them are right moody buggers though
Agree I undersold a striker, it is more 5-10km unless it's Berba

My mate is a PT and professional running coach, his mile is 4:44.
So around 5:15 for an 11 year old would be very quick... sounds like you missed a calling in life.
Was it 3 or 4 laps ? Either way that makes each lap 500m or 375m for 1500m
"The length of a pitch must be between 90m and 120m and the width not less than 45m and not more than 90m - BBC"
Interestingly (?) that means the pitch could be 90m square which be freekin' odd.
However it shows that the maximum perimeter is 420m and the minimum 270m.
I want to know exactly how far they ran @Ollywozere.......
