Good luck to the lad, would be nice to see a local lad get through the ranks and into the first team proper. And hopefully make more of an impression than Pook

Interesting to see about Sturrock's scientific pre-season training. He says there's going to be less running than before. Considering how much running Wise made them do last year I'm not sure its a good move. he had them doing loads of it and we went into the season with a flying start

Wisey's training method were as good as Premiersip standard, by all accounts.  The problem is it was as expensive as Premiership standard too.

There's no way we could have sustained that.

I have complete faith in PS.

Wise didnt make then run loads like a 10km cross country run every day for 2 weeks, he made them run intelliegently using heart monitors to make sure each player was within the correct BPM zone to attain maximum fitness.

It was King who had them out running all day 1950's style.

Sounds like Sturrock has moved away from King style traing towards wise style training in recent years which is a good thing.

looking at the pre-season training photo's on the official site it looks like pook has been given the number 9 shirt possibly... :shock:  Shocked

Why "Must have"Huh?

That'll be tough. Pook's probably the most talked about player on this forum, and therefore has made an impression.

Good luck to the lad, hope he makes it here.
