anyone noticed our pre match warmup?
Its really bad, the whole team is involved, last week I saw 2 starters getting about 2 touches in the boxes before the game started. The subs had more
never seen a Team do that before makes no sense.

Yeah, I think it's better too. The important thing about the warm up is getting the muscles ready to play, it's not really about touching the ball.Originally Posted by tHeArAb

Who remembers the sprint coach? He had the first team squad doing their warm-ups from the Jerry Kerr to the George Fox stand. These players were tuned in from then. United started matches with the ethos we're Dundee United and we are going to try and win this game no matter who the opposition is. Changed days indeed.

Nowadays they do that at the end of the game!!! Changed days indeed.

Stewart Hogg was the sprint coach, now with aberdeen, had various techniques to improve fitness and train the players to run faster. Im sure it was him that started the warm down process at the end of games that helped with recovery from the game.

I just dont think its a good idea for players to start a game without hardly any touches of the ball, some of them have a bad enough touch as it is.

If their touch is ****e I don't think it'll make them better by getting a few more pre-match...

Thats like Saying Tennis players should go straight into a game or golfers shouldnt go to the practice range before their round
