I hope you are having a good Christmas; enjoying the holiday and eating lots of festive treats.

Spare a thought for the players and management staff though who will be training all over the festive period, including Christmas Day.

With six games in a 14-day spell, it's vital they keep ticking over and concentrate fully on the recovery process.

We've just taken delivery of a huge supply of protein drinks - which they boys will be using to welcome in the New Year - and recovery supplements to help protect the muscles in such a demanding period.

Fortunately we've got a very committed playing squad that is conscious of when and what to eat.

It all stems back to the club's decision to bring in nutritional expert Dan King four years ago to advise and refine our strategy on pre and post-match nutrition in a bid to maximise performance and ensure that the players bounce from one game to the next.

Research has shown that most players run between eight and 12 kilometres per game. While that distance doesn't drop even if you have to play three games in the space of a week, what does fall is the intensity of that work.

Therefore it's important that we try and implement strategies that help to alleviate that loss of intensity.

That is done with the help of nutrition, squad rotation and the use of substitutes at appropriate times.

On the injury front, since my last programme notes against Southend, Warren Feeney has been ruled out for four to five weeks with ankle ligament damage.

He was the victim of a poor tackle against Southend that saw him stretchered off . Our first fear was a possible fracture because he was in a lot of pain. But after having an x-ray at MorristonHospital, he was diagnosed with ankle ligament damage that caused a lot of soft tissue swelling.

Because he is still officially a CardiffCity player, they decided to treat him at NinianPark as his injury will take him outside his loan period.

I am still in regular contact with him and he has had a few treatment sessions down here as well. I know he's disappointed that his loan spell had to come to an end in this way, but I know he'll bounce back.

Meanwhile, Darren Way has been enjoying his loan spell at Yeovil and has got six full games under his belt.

We are all really pleased with his progress and I know he is dying to get back to playing for SwanseaCity.

Jason Scotland has also been in the treatment room after picking up a stomach muscle injury the day before the Southend game.

The problem is with his kicking muscle, but we are hoping to get him back for today's game; Leeds at the latest.

Finally, Owain Tudur Jones has stepped up his rehabilitation after seeing an ankle specialist. He gave him the all clear and now it's a case of getting OTJ match fit again.
