AFCB's players were the first Premier League team back to start their training on the hottest day of the year. There were a few old faces that we haven't seen for a while being put through their paces and the gruelling 1600m run certainly tested the fitness of those who had been enjoying the summer.
We also saw Connor Mahoney bing put through his paces on the bike, and I'd like to think that talks about Millwall are not going to end in him being sold. If AFCB release their younger players then they have to replace them, and the comments from Birmingham City fans are nothing but positive about last season so I'd say he's a keeper.
I imagine Steve Fletcher loves the first day of training. He was barking out the motivation for working harder on the bike test, and yet I imagine having Big' un in your ear every few seconds is the last thing you want if you want an easy day. I don't expect there are many easy days from now on.

| Arter looked happy to be back among his AFCB team-mates. |
The first face we saw was Harry Arter on the video and he looked very pleased to be among old fiends. I don't think I'm alone in wanting Harry to stick around next season but he may be surplus to needs again and could be sold or put out on loan. I still believe he has loads to offer and considering the problems in central midfield last season , I don't see why it is a problem to have Harry trying to compete for a place. Furthermore, the pictures showed that Lewis Cook was doing well on his recovery, and it's hopeful that we see a lot more of him, Junior Stanislas and Simon Francis next season.

What really made me smile though was to see Adam Smith absolutely wiping the floor with the others on the 1600m run. He looks well up for the new season and hopefully if he can avoid injury he will have a better season.
