It's difficult to do anything in terms of a warm up when you have 5 or 6 people there at 8.40, and everyone else drifting along between 8.45 and 9.30! If people make an effort to get there on time, and actually get changed and show willing to have a warm-up, rather than chatting, then it would be a lot easier to do.

For the training session, I'm not a coach, so I'm not really in a position to do anything too structured, but if we don't have a keeper there, I think the best thing to do is maybe 20 minutes of drills, then go into a cross pitch 2 or 3 touch game. OK, so it won't improve us tactically, but it helps with touch and fitness and is a lot more enjoyable than some of the things we've done. We need to keep people coming throughout the winter when it's wet / cold, so I think making it enjoyable is one of the most important aspects.

Daley just phoned me and said he will be there this Wednesday. He can't train at the moment because of injury but he has some ideas for different drills.
As Barney says, as long as people stop talking when they turn up and we get on with things, then we can have a good session as long we have some people there with some good ideas of things to do.

I know some players have to shoot off straight away at 10.00.p.m. because they 'have to get up early for work in the morning ', but there's nothing to stop us going in the bar/clubhouse for 30 minutes when the lights go out at 10 pm.
We have actually paid to use the changing rooms & bar, but we never do !
We can then have a chat about things there instead of trying to find each other in the pitch-black car park afterwards or wasting time when we all turn up !

I can come a long if it will help?

Probably best you text Trev, Jacko. He may not have time to look on here.
