Team Players - Summer

[Boro in Devon]

Do the players get a summer break this year.
I think given the disruption and the poor performance they should be straight back in training, so that they are both fit and working on their technical elements.

I wonder if players in general will struggle next season after this unique campaign, with its lockdown and then month to get back into training etc before playing so many matches over a short stretch. Steve McClaren was big into the value of rest periods after UEFA Cup Thursdays and he also said the disruption to routine was very hard to combat. Athletes would train at Boro and not be able to believe the lack of intensity of footballer training. But athletes have to peak at several points in a season, footballers attempt to peak over 40 or more times.

Our mob have barely peaked 4 times those season so let’s hope they are saving it for next year.
