3 years worth of watching Winchester compared to 4/5 games watching Banks/Flynn. It took Winchester a long time to get up to scratch.

 

They don't necessarily look 'significantly' better but they certainly look 'significantly'fitter.

It's incomparable considering Winchester was a kid and these are established pros, but yeah, it is probably too early to say.

 

However what concerns me is that what we were told about Flynn and Banks by fans of their previous clubs has so far seemed pretty accurate

An inconsistent Flynn will surely give us more than an unfit Winchester.

That's the key. You have to have a reasonable level of athleticism. A pit of pace, strength, stamina. He's a light weight, and he's reaching the 'period of peak fitness' (Johnson, you :censored:, you can have that one for your powerpoint). He's got talent but no physical attributes. Pity, but he's like one of those really good Northern Prem players who you think, 'wow, really talented, why isn't he playing at a higher level,' but then he still gets subbed with 20 minutes to go because he's knackered and needs a fag and a pint.

He's just lacking the drive required imo. Plenty of slender players have made it in recent years. Ozil is considered one of the world's best but has no stand-out physical attributes - could certainly be described as slow, lightweight etc.

 

How much does he want it? Clearly not enough, and until he can rectify that he won't ever become the player he could be. And yes, he could do with a bit more stamina...

Funny you say that, I saw one young player in non league recently with superb skills and defence splitting passing ability, yet he faded badly and I came to conclusion he would struggle in the full time game.
