Glad we got John Harbin back look forward to the players being fitter both physically, mentally, stronger.

 

 

But could he have got Winchester fit enough to play for 90 minutes ?    <_<

Said for years he was the powerhouse behind Dowies luxury liner. Massive this and we need him for the season now

 

I think his remit didn't only extend to the first team either! IIRC, he 'coached' Dowie with regards to the pressure of matches etc 

 

All the same, he was an intergral part of making a team of 'Ok' players to a decent team that seemingly were scared of no one! .. In fact it'd be interesting how many goals were scored in the final minutes as we wore teams down for result?

The only fitness coach in the world and we've got him.

I'm with you on this. Back in 02, we were ahead of the rest in terms of fitness and strength and it helped us (along with having very good players) have a good season.

 

Fast forward to 2017, and most, if not all of teams in our League, have caught up and will be just as fit as us, regardless of Harbin being here or not...

The flip side of that, of course, is how often in recent times has a Latics team, or at least some of them, looked knackered after 70/75 minutes? With Harbin back, that is something that can be eradicated and can only serve us well at the end of games.
