Darthter 542 Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 Does anyone actually KNOW what constitutes an average days training @ Murray Park??? How long do the players spend training as a squad/individually etc??? Is there a standard timetable eg fitness fro an hour, then tactics, etc??? I get the impression that something isn't right. St Mirren totally played us off the park, with a team that is worth a fraction of ours. We also have a team full of International grade players, yet they can't string 2 passes together. Regardless of the Manager's tactics, or team selection, the players on the pitch seem to be struggling. What are teams like St Mirren doing differently to Rangers??? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully all training is done with a ball. Running laps round a track is prehistoric. There are plenty of training situations that are great for condition, movement and ball control. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Dutchy Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 I was hoping Murray Park was going to produce more youngsters for us, but all it seems to do is produce players for other teams, with little return. The 'international' players should be ashamed of themselves with some recent perfomances, but I'm more interested in what the newly appointed Director of Football, or his predessor is/has been up to??? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are plenty of training situations that are great for condition, movement and ball control. The players need to be in top physical condition....they are supposed to athletes after all. During a game, they don't always have the ball @ their feet. Running, sprinting turning should be of top importance imho. If the players are fit, they can focus better on what their doing during the game. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zappa 0 Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 I might be completely wrong, but there seems to be a very lackadaisical attitude to training within our first team squad. They don't train for very long each day, maybe 2 or 3 hours and whilst doing that they seem to be walking or standing about having a laugh and a joke half the time. Don't get me wrong, having a laugh is good for team spirit within the squad, but if they're only training for a short period, maybe, just maybe they need to take it a bit more seriously. I've said this before, but I'll say it again: Durrant isn't an experienced trainer and Kenny McDowell is. Why Kenny was promoted to Assistant manager instead of remaining in his position I'll never know. Maybe it doesn't have any real bearing on things, but maybe it does.... IMO, this bunch of players need a right good kick up the arse and a few of our regular "first on the team sheet" players should be dropped to provide that kick up the arse. A good number of us here have been saying this for ages. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

All to be done in game situations with a ball at your feet. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

To me, players should be doing a bit of running on their own time, not when they turn up for training. If they don't like going outside into reality to run in their own time they can buy a running machine to do it. Training should be all about ball control, passing and practicing the basics of playing football for these players because half of them don't even seem very good at the basics. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
