    we have what is known as the "shed"

    Its basically an indoor pitch similar to what you would find at World of Football. Not the biggest thing in the world but allows them to continue training.

    Yogi in his pre match interview said he wanted to change the shape of the team a bit but could not get out on to the training pitch to try this.

    Doesn't mean that they can't train. just means that he cant get out onto the full pitch to have a proper attempt at changing the system (he probably means by having a bounce game between 22 of the squad for an hour or so)

    If we can't use the synthetic pitches we should be looking to construct a full size indoor pitch or under soil heating on one of the main pitches.

    I would have thought that during the really cold periods, the emphasis would be on keeping the squad as fit and as injury free as possible.
