Fitness levels key for Laws

Sheffield Wednesday boss Brian Laws wants his squad to be among the fittest in the Championship to avoid another relegation dogfight.
The Owls finished just three points clear of the dropzone last term and Laws believes that his side can do better in the coming campaign.
He told the Sheffield Star: "There are clubs at this level who have a lot of money and will spend big and bring in top players.
"If we can't compete quite at that level, then we certainly can when it comes to fitness.
"I want energy and we can compete with the best in the division if we have energy.
"I believe that if we get that fitness, that high energy, then we will be hard to play against."
Meanwhile, the Owls are being linked with a loan move for Chelsea midfielder Jimmy Smith, who has impressed during recent stints with Queens Park Rangers and Norwich City.
