This was to be the easy start to &quot;proper training&quot;.<br /> I have to agree that somehow there seemed to have been confusion over wether training had been cancelled this week and i don;t know how that happened. But i was asked by a couple of players who had thought it was cancelled. So i have to accept that as an excuse.<br /> However this week training is defo on and the run starts at 7.30. Please try to be there as you'll struggle to catch up in the coming weeks. The Chesterton Charities is being organised as i type and i'd like to put out a proper side this year to give it a real go. I have 4 friendlies provisionally arranged for August already so it's down to the players to make all our efforts worthwhile. I expect this to be a cracking and winning season the only thing i can see letting us down is the commitment of the players.<br /> <br /> <strong>So tell me do you really want it?</strong> http://thesmithfieldfc.co.uk/forum/topic/167#post-1100 Tue, 08 Jul 2008 16:08:05 +0000 psycho 1100@http://thesmithfieldfc.co.uk/forum/ I'll let you off then mate, but I don't know who spread the rumour about it being cancelled?<br /> <br /> Sorry to hear about the injuries, but look on the bright side it could have been your right hand and that would have been frustrating! X-D<br /> <br /> Anyway hope you're back soon mate, because its harder to score now you're not in goals! <br /> <br /> <strong>Psycho</strong> }:-@ http://thesmithfieldfc.co.uk/forum/topic/167#post-1099 Tue, 08 Jul 2008 14:18:31 +0000 Cyrix 1099@http://thesmithfieldfc.co.uk/forum/ Well I am having a few weeks off due to injuries, particularly a broken wrist scare on my left wrist that thankfully turns out not to be broken. I need an other 3-4 weeks off to let my other injuries repair, and 4-5 weeks off realistically for my wrist.<br /> <br /> Bummer eh?!<br /> <br /> My bro told me that there wasn't going to be any training last Thursday as the management were away, so maybe other players thought this too??<br /> <br /> ~Sicknote http://thesmithfieldfc.co.uk/forum/topic/167#post-1098 Mon, 07 Jul 2008 20:01:15 +0000 psycho 1098@http://thesmithfieldfc.co.uk/forum/ So much for getting serious with training. The turn out this week was shite, with only 5 first team players turning up. Luckily Craig, Bird, Scall and the now retired Kev turned up to make it worthwhile.<br /> <br /> Fair enough 3 players were on holiday, but I don't know what happened to everyone else, hopefully they can give their excuses below.<br /> Things are not looking good with the Chesterton Charities and pre-season friendlies starting at the end of July.<br /> <br /> Also whats happened to turning up early for a run?? We've only been doing it for two weeks and already people can't be bothered. Last week only 3 of us turned up on time and another two did the run when they got there and this week only me and Tony turned up at 7.30 and no-one else came until 7.55.<br /> <br /> It makes me wonder if all that talk players were coming out with at the end of last season and the presentation day was just that, talk. If we want to improve next season then we need to start turning all that talk into action.<br /> <br /> The managers have been away on another 'scouting mission' this week, so I am going to make a stand about training in their absence:<br /> <br /> <strong>Everyone who is not either on holiday/working/dead next thursday must be there at 7.30 so that we can all go for a run together. </strong><br /> <br /> <strong>...And that's the bottom line, 'cause Psycho said so! }:-) </strong>
