@owlstalk Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 A little food for thought... A group of wolves: The three in front are old & sick, they walk in front to set the pace of the running group lest they get left behind. The next five are the strongest & best, they are tasked to protect the front side if there is an attack. The pack in the middle are always protected from any attack. The five behind them are also among the strongest & best; they are tasked to protect the back side if there is an attack. The last one is the LEADER (in our case Jos) He ensures that no one is left behind. He keeps the pack unified and on the same path. He is always ready to run in any direction to protect & serves as the 'bodyguard' to the entire group. Just in case anyone wanted to know what it really means to be a leader. It's not about being out front. It means taking care of the team. Jos is doing exactly that. He's come in, he's managing the pack, protecting the injured, ensuring the weakest develop into stronger animals.

Weshallovercome Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 I reckon it's a pretty good analogy to be fair. Thought Wallace and Boyd up front might actually work last night, but with Reach not playing and Stobbs not getting into it meant we were very short in midfield. It Reach and Clare had played it would have worked better imo, but not going to castigate Jos for trying something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 “These rumors about the behavior of wolf packs are false. They cropped up on social media and image sharing sites in December 2015. That makes for a compelling and inspirational story about teamwork — but it’s not true. David Attenborough took the photo in question for the BBC’s “Frozen Planet” Series in 2011. It shows 25 timber wolves hunting bison in Wood Buffalo National Park in Canada. The female alpha wolf led the pack, and the others followed in a single file line to save energy as they made their way through deep snow, according to the environmental website Benvironment. Wolf packs are typically about half the size of the pack pictured in the photo from 2011. Most packs don’t hunt prey the size of bison (which is 10 times the size of a wolf), but the larger pack is able to. And the wolves walking in a single file line through deep snow is a classic example of how they’re able to use weather conditions to their advantage while hunting prey that’s much larger than them. Also, the idea that wolves have to be on the lookout for “ambushes” or attacks isn’t true, either. Wolves are at the top of the food chain and have no natural predators. Aside from turf battles with other wolves (which wouldn’t start in an ambush) bears are the only threat to wolves in Canada. Even so, experts saythat bears are only able to prey on wolf pups because grown wolves are too fast, swift and clever to get caught by them” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like I said he will be judged over time, hopefully, a successful time. Indeed. I, like many others, was completely baffled by the team selection last night, but it’s bizarre to write him off as unsuitable after just 7 league games. If he is still coming up with bizarre team selections in 12 months time with a fully fit squad at his disposal then maybe it will be time for a different conversation, but for now we need to get behind him and give him a chance. Let’s not forget he achieved promotion from 2.Bundesliga 3 times with 3 different teams – I don’t think that happens by accident. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Snooty Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 14 minutes ago, Madmax said: Never read so much poo in mi life It'd all quite true. Wolves are highly social animals and do, Neil is on the money, travel in packs. Packs which can stay together for years. Led by the “alpha” male and female pair and some of their subordinate offspring and current pups from one or more years. The alpha wolves decide when the pack will travel and hunt, and normally are the first to eat at a kill. The pair’s offspring normally disperse into adjacent or available pack. They can travel the tundra for miles looking for new mates once they become sexually active. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
