Is Staveley?

Sure I've spotted him in some of the clips on Instagram

Reserves are playing a friendly against Donny 12th Jan.

Guess we'll only have Westermans testimonial to give the first team a proper run out before the cup game and start of the SL season

A real step up in intensity from yesterday as well by all accounts. Not just the youngsters who are saying its the hardest training they have done but some of the existing squad too.
Makes you realise how easy it was under the TS regieme.

Welcome to the English Wintry weather, Carty, hope you don’t do a Des Hasler

Looks like a few like Balforth and Abdull have really gone the extra mile before starting pre season. Almost as if Cartwright's arrival had scared some into it with his threats about anyone who wasn't fit. Here's another interesting piece about Balmforth. Great stuff. https://www.hulldailymail.co.uk/sport/r ... ll-9726513

I still cringe when I remember TS stating how it was important for us to start the 2023 season ‘under-cooked’.

It’s taken us 2 years to shrug that attitude from the squad.

Need to get Balmforth tied up, think he could be a sensation this year. Very positive first season, much fitter and playing with better players.

Re: Pre Season - 2025 : Tue Nov 19, 2024 2:04 pm  

Really like his attitude. Get him tied up for a couple of years and see him thrive

Always a guy half full. But I just sense next year could see us do well. Not saying we gonna win GF but think we could be 6/8. If we can keep the spine fit IMO it's not a bad one..Always the optimist
