Marcus Stewart on rad Bristol earlier. 2 things that stood out.
1. When wael/hamer came in. He said that it took a while to build trust (offcourse), but added that process is still goin on with a few people.
2. They had no food after training. Hamer was surprised and now they get food after training. I'm quite shocked by this, I try to stay fit and I'm well aware of eating after exercise, esp carbs for endurance. But for professional sports people not to get food after training. That's bad.
3. Just realised it's still on...

I would have been surprised had players training not each been on a strict and individual food regimen with thought given to sufficient calories, including carbs for glycogen restorage, quality protein for muscular repair and conditioning, and vitamins/antioxidants/minerals and the right amount of sodium and potassium for rehydration post workout. That professional footballers were recently left to stop for a kebab or chicken and chips or whatever muck on the way home from training is hard to believe.
It's 2016, and Rovers are a professional football league club. Someone at the club should be responsible for dietetics, especially post training. Once again, as I keep saying, thank goodness for the takeover.

Do we have a club dietician? Whether one can be directly employeed by a lower division club I don't know. But someone should be responsible for dietetic oversight of post training meals (the most important nutrition of any day). That they ever receive sweet duck all after training seems wrong.

Ricky Lambert once commented that after he moved to Southampton he got a personal trainer and dietician who worked wonders on his fitness and having a personal diet helped achieve that.

Glad you also noticed this. I read the interview that Lambert gave and he said that he meant no offence to Rovers but that his life as true pro footballer really began at Saints. He was given his own trainer and had to eat at certain times and from selected food groups. He was fitness tested at every session and was encouraged to get the best of of himself. When comparing to us he said that the players could eat when the wanted and what they wanted and that virtually no input was made in that area. I know this will be controversial but I can't help but wonder if Phil Kite being replaced has helped with injury avoidance too ? It does seem that Wael has employed the right person to help DC and we have just had two seasons where injuries were minimal when you look upon previous seasons. We are now on the way to becoming a really professional football club and I look forward to the progressing of this journey. Interesting times indeed

I don't think many clubs in League 2 or League 1 have food after training, mainly due to cost and the other reason being a lack of facilities. We are lucky to have a training ground with excellent facilities for the players to change in , eat and socialise in the clubhouse and easy to get to with the excellent location.

We did have a dietician at one time. Under IA perhaps?

'Strikers get paid the most money, and that's the way it is, unfortunately' per Stewy regarding Matty. Does that suggest that he expects us not to match competition offers next year?

While this is true, Rickie's fitness did come on a long way during his time with us - it just went to another level at Southampton. He was a different player from the one that joined us to the one that left. I remember him coming back after our pre-season training, and people saying he looked a lot slimmer.

Kitey would have been responsible once the injured players arrived in the treatment room. He was the physiotherapist, rather then the trainer; involved in treatment rather than prevention, and I don't believe can be accountable for the injuries we had.

I wonder whether the food after training / dietary recommendations, were a casualty of post-relegation cuts.
It seems we went from one extreme to the other.
I remember for a few years there was a section in the programme devoted to the training and fitness. Although it was good to read about the training regime it seemed to me that there were certain elements where different things had been introduced just for the sake of being different.
One thing that always concerned me was reading about the diet plan that had been given to the players - it sounded like packet powder stuff that you imagine astronauts tucking into on the space shuttle.
