Isidor believes that the intensity of training has increased significantly since Forsythe's arrival. He notes that the team's pre-season was challenging, with few wins, but they were able to turn things around after beating West Ham.

Isidor attributes the turning point to the introduction of a performance manager, who brought a new approach to training. The manager, who had previously worked at Arsenal and Dortmund, integrated physical training into the team's sessions, which Isidor feels was a key factor in their improvement.
