New Kiwi keeper makes some good saves on here.
Seems very positive atmosphere in this session

Some of those "attempts" at press ups are awful. Hope Schuey is dishing punishment or fines out for lack of effort.... On a serious note, that's an interesting watch and it's clear to see morale is good in camp. Very obvious that Baker is very happy right now too. I know they're professionals and they will always be expected to work hard in training and maintain a certain standard, but its harder to fake genuine enjoyment, and you can tell the tails are up on most of them. Junho seems popular from some of those clips too. Was it Rose who scored a couple of decent finishes too?

That surface looks amazing! I was fortunate to have a stadium tour before the Sunderland game this season and the groundsman I spoke to was extremely knowledgeable. I never realised the Bet365 pitch was hybrid. Also got to visit Clayton Woods this season and had a tour too. Again, great to look around, see the facilities etc. I was fortunate that the first team were there, and also got to meet the likes of Shawcross, Mama, Liam Lawrence.

Love the training videos they’re absolutely class.
Pearson even runs like he’s fresh from an all nighter at the warehouse project after 6 Garys and enough red stripe to down a zeppelin.

I remember when we showed AN’s first training session when he joined and people were getting all excited.
It’s great to see what looks like a real team spirit but other than that I wouldn’t read too much into it……

Might well be, he does where a snode which covers almost his entire face sometimes. Good spot.

I know it's more of a recent times thing with gloves etc when it's cold for footballers and I don't have a problem with it, but it does make me chuckle thinking about the conditions I played in, even at school, where the only one who wore gloves was the keeper and you weren't even allowed a t shirt on under your jersey. In some ways I wish I could've had a beanie hat..... why was it the coldest days of the year always resulted in a ball being smacked against your ear.... ouch, can still feel it now 😂

My other half kept talking to me about something while I was trying to watch, as she put it, 'random blokes in bibs running around', so I may have missed him, but was Hak there?
