Illgresi Posted July 6, 2021 Share Posted July 6, 2021 2 minutes ago, d31 said: It'll be interesting to see if Glass avoids more injuries than McInnes. There was always speculation that McInnes only had the training at a decent intensity on a Friday morning and otherwise they were just dossing about. I won't claim to know anything about sports science but it would be a sensible guess to say that would cause muscle injuries to be more likely than training at the same intensity all week. There's undoubtedly a balance to be struck. I would think with modern technology; monitoring, recovery techniques, supplements etc, it would be exceedingly hard to overtrain professional sportsmen unless they have underlying physical issues. However it seems entirely logical that dossing about all week then playing/training at high intensity for a small part of the week would tend to cause issues. I say that purely from my own experience of sitting at a desk all week and then climbing hills at the weekend! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack made his first-team debut in 2010 under McGhee and must have had close to 100 senior appearances under his belt by the time McInnes arrived. Of Jack's 100 or so appearances about 98 would have been at right back. McInnes didn't give him his break but he was instrumental in his development. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weirdly been similar discussions amongst Everton fans with Benitez coming in...as apparently at Madrid he only liked the players at 85% fit. "When it comes to preventing injuries, Paco de Miguel has a very simple theory. "The closer a player is to peak physical fitness, the higher risk of injury there is". That is why Benítez's right-hand man prefers to have his players at around 85% of their peak fitness levels" .Link to article in Marca As always, the truth will be somewhere in the middle. Non Scottish and English players are more likely to have a better diet and attitude to looking after themselves in general. So it will depend on what players you have in the squad and what system and intensity you are going to ask them to play on match days. An intense Friday morning session isnt enough if you are going to ask them to press and run constantly for 90mins. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

d31 Posted July 6, 2021 Share Posted July 6, 2021 Aye Cove which was obviously cancelled, then Caley, then St Johnstone and Reading on the same day. All at Cormack Park so they said. It does not feel like sufficient prep for Hacken but I guess the Ross County outbreak adds weight to the argument to take no risks and control the environment 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tarapoa Posted July 6, 2021 Share Posted July 6, 2021 (edited) There should be some of sort of "do's and don't's" awareness training for players/ coaches who come to AFC. I saw this earlier from McCoist describing McInnes' 50th birthday party bash at the weekend. My first thought other than "gads min" was fair enough - these are his mates, former colleagues etc. McInnes never inflicted this stuff on us when he was our manager - and kind of 'got' the mood of the support/city. Contrast that with Calderwood/McGhee at times - and quite a lot of the social media stuff our recent/current players have indulged in. e.g. publicly 'liking' Scott Wright celebrating his bit part of the Govan club's first title.............no huge deal, but just have a wee think........

It’s not exactly rocket science either. Ross mcrorie managed it in his first press conference. Getting asked about rangers and Gerrard and just killed it “I’m an Aberdeen player and I’m here to talk about Aberdeen. You can ask Steven Gerrard about rangers” Done. Finished. We move on. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
