Daddy Kewell will be under no illusion now as to the task he has in getting this lot to perform again.
I'm not sure it is mainly fitness that is the issue, it is more than that, attitude, psychological and mental strength appear to be issues also along with a very busy medical room.
Unfortunately this does suggest problems with the way players have been managed generally over recent times. As HK alluded to in his first interview for the club yesterday, things might not be happening for you on the pitch but it doesn't stop you working hard regardless. I have some comfort in that if he walks the talk he will turn this around and when he does there is the making of a very competitive and entertaining team to come from it. If he doesn't i will be searching this post and deleting asap!
