    ...(..err!!!...that came out a bit wrong) ! ....What I meant to say is that although they have an extra day to recover from Saturday's exertions where they ran their socks off (particularly Brown) with it being Wednesday night instead of a Tuesday, whilst they are young , enthusiastic and energetic, will they have enough recovery time to have the same intensity they showed at Fulham and against Middlesbro'?

    They gave them no time on the ball for 90 minutes and I lost count of the number of times when a Middlebro player had the ball and had three Barnsley players on him before he could settle. That takes some stamina.

    They then only have two and a half days before the trip to Reading. We really need the settled first team playing all these games but our pressing high energy style must surely take its toll:

    it's the same for the others mate.So it will be battle of the fittest, maybe young lads may have higher fitness and stamina levels. Reading also play on wednesday, so will have the same rest/recovery period as we do.

    So who gets to wheel t'owd man Sollbauer around the park on Saturday then. At 29 he's a 'gimmer' by BFC squad standards ;)

    Older players have more endurance and stamina than younger players.
    That's why Kipchoge is 35 not 21.

    Two away days will be hard for us now doubt. They should be full 9f optimism though.

    That’s almost tantamount to complaining about signing an experienced player :oops:

    Nah! Just a jokey response to Dragon Tyke. I remember reading somewhere that older athletes may lose a bit of pace but tend to have greater stamina. No idea why but it may explain why, as FWF stated, distance/marathon runners seem to hit their peak much later than sprinters in athletics.

    Your body adapts to conserve energy. It's why doing half an hour on a treadmill three times a week eventually becomes a waste of time unless you step up your pace or add sprints.
