DENNIS Wise admits he is anxious to add to his midfield options and hopes a melting mobile will pay dividends in sizzling Ibiza.
The manager appears content with his goalkeeper, his back four and his numerous strikers.
And although an extra central defender is now required following Sean O’Hanlon’s surprise move to Franchise, ‘the engine room’ seems to be the one area where Wise has yet to sleep comfortably.
Andy Monkhouse has featured prominently on the left, Ricky Shakes on the right but the biggest question marks hover over the central slots, an area where the manager could play himself of course.
He said: “The midfield is important. I am looking for someone in the midfield but also at the back.
“Obviously the phone is with me and you can see it’s getting plenty of use.
“I am comfortable with the strikers’ situation at the moment though.
“Obviously if you go through the season and none of them are scoring then you have to bring someone in. But at the moment they’re looking strong and scoring goals.”
After arriving at their Ibiza base in the early hours of yesterday morning, the players enjoyed a relaxing morning beside the pool, a spot of lunch and a game of cards.
However, if the squad were expecting their first day to be a completely relaxing one, they received a shock to the system around tea time.
As he headed to the San Antonio stadium for the first training session, Wise said: “They don’t realise what’s coming to them. They’ll have a big blow. I know we’ve a game Tuesday night but it’s all about getting fit. They’ll be tired.
“They will be 200 metre runs, 20 of them to be precise. And when they think they’re finished, they’ll run again.
“We’re not here on some kind of jolly up or social function.” 20 x 200m sprints in that heat :shock: |

I think I love Dennis already, not in a gay way you understand. Our players must think they're at boot camp, which is exactly what they deserve after last year's performance, no wonder Sean o and Aaron Cuntboy Brown have left.

I dont envy them in the slightest but its ace that someone has got a grip on the players and is making them uber-proffesional I just hope they can still run by the start of the season  |

Nicholas is naturally fit though isn't he. isn't he the one that does well on the bleep test thingy? Some people just have that knack of remaining very fit regardless of their lifestyle!!!! i don't think his shit performances last season (and he did have some good spells as well) had anything to do with fitness, more complete lack of confidence at times.

It reminds of the Macari boot camps (and I it didn't do them any harm did it?) I know it's early days and all that but I am starting to think that Mr Wise is the manager this club has been crying out for, for years  |

Just been speaking to a colleague who knows one of the "Football in the community" blokes, he says he's never seen anything like it, reckons the lads are being put through their paces like never before. But he also says the lads love it, which is the best news. Also he was saying what a nice geezer Dennis is althoug as soon as you cross him you know it.
Pretty predictable stuff but good to hear.

Many of us suspected the players were not fully fit last season, hooray for Wise, hope he drills them as hard as Macari did.

Even the youth team are doing similar programs according to a friend of mine. Teach them good habits from the start, i say!

Do you think wise is a 'throw tea-cups' at half-time bloke, and do you think he'll sit in the stands?
I pedict he'll be on the touch-line, which will be good for a change....shwoing his passion.

Judging from the FGR game, i reckon he'll be a 'stands for the first half' manager, with Gus coaching in his absence.
