    I don't think it really matters what the extra weight is made of - carrying extra weight (whether muscle or fat) will lead to him being less agile and getting knackered after 10 minutes. He needs banning from the squat rack.

    The point I'm making is the greatest player I have seen play for Barnsley was in a far worse condition that jennings. Give tha lad a break

    Glavin was always stocky but was pacy with the ball at his feet. Jennings must be at least a stone heavier than when he came back from MK Dons and that seems to have affected his pace and his ball control. Even at a stone lighter he's still quite a stocky lad but there's a difference between that and being overweight. Glavin was only fat when he first joined us and soon lost it to become the superstar he was. Jennings could maybe do the same.

    other than a short spell when danny got the job and recalled him, he's been generally $hit IMO. he's come back not just heavier, but unfit. blowing out of his ar$e after 10 minutes, when he came on last week. he doesn't look any further forward than when he first joined us under flicker.

    we're in division 3, by the way. playing at an even lower standard than we were last year. and he still looks way off

    Muscle doesn't grow out at the waistline.
