    Most goalkeepers cover more than strikers by that logic
    Not at all, have a look at this:

    Rooney the only high scoring striker in the top 10 in the Premier League

    Did anyone else think of Roy Castle when they saw the title?

    I'd like to think that Jordan's record breaking achievement was something more random like sitting in a bath of baked beans for 2 weeks or growing the largest onion ever.

    You want new strikers if they're only running 3-5km a game. You want 8 even upto 10km from your striker and 15km would be not too far from what most Championship midfielders cover in a busy game.
    Not sure that's quite correct. I remember Pritchard getting a load of press for covering something like 13km against Wolves a couple of years back and that was the highest tally of any player in the championship that season or something.
    Maybe I've overcooked the midfielders but I haven't for the strikers, I know George Boyd of Burnley AVERAGED just over 12km a match and that's over the course of the season, point still stands that if your striker usually runs 3-5km a game you are really going to struggle, there would be hardly any closing down and you'd be missing a fair few runs. Strikers cover similar to defenders and midfielders edge it with about 1.5x them both I would say.
    Do you work for Brentford now Wharburton has gone? Interestingly they pulled out of Kramer race because his stats didn't add up.

    Don't think Jordan is the sort to blow his own trumpet.

    I have a good feeling about Cousins this season. I get the impression he is being moulded for captaincy. He is the poster boy on our new kit campaign Frank has clearly come back to training in extremely good shape. I do wonder if he has been promised the captaincy this season.

    Also we have to say fair play to Morgan Fox for pushing him all the way on that club record
  • Thanks for that VG, under 5 mins is pretty good.

    I've got a feeling Ba is going to break the 1500m record today......

    Atletico ask Berbatov how far he'd actually run in a game....

    Agree I undersold a striker, it is more 5-10km unless it's Berba

    I wouldn't be over the moon about life if I'd just sprinted 1500m in the heat either.

    I ran the 1500m in exactly 5 minutes when aged 11, so is it just me that thinks that time is quite slow for a young midfield professional? The guy who beat me at our sports day ran 4 mins 50 secs.

    Not a boast on my behalf. I ran for the school at this distance in Bexley competitions (never for an athletics club) and never finished in the top 3 or anything.

    No way did you run a 5 minute mile when you were 11! That's very impressive (in my non-athletics head).

    Not a mile, 1500m. Genuine honest.

    to run 1500m (just shy of a mile 1609.344) in 5mins is rapid for a non athletic time.

    My mate is a PT and professional running coach, his mile is 4:44.

    So around 5:15 for an 11 year old would be very quick... sounds like you missed a calling in life.

    Yeah, but Millwall were chasing you at the time.

    5 min for 1500m is very impressive time in any age group.

    As they cross the line, Bloom says 4:37 for Cousins and 38 for Fox ... strange.

    OG tried to speak to him before the run and he said no. Anyway not just him, they mostly seemed a little nonchalant.

    Was it 3 or 4 laps ? Either way that makes each lap 500m or 375m for 1500m

    "The length of a pitch must be between 90m and 120m and the width not less than 45m and not more than 90m - BBC"

    Interestingly (?) that means the pitch could be 90m square which be freekin' odd.

    However it shows that the maximum perimeter is 420m and the minimum 270m.

    I want to know exactly how far they ran @Ollywozere.......
