vulture_squadron Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 Anyone remember Dave Jones? Just stood there while we went on that unbeaten run and pipped Utd to promotion. If only he's waved his arms a bit we'd have overtaken Charlton too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

torryowl Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 cool Dutchman with a bit of style ....no matter how inane the questioning when he's doing the media stuff he keep's a dead pan face and calmly answers the question .whether he drops the coolness in the dressing room and rips into them I don't know but when he arrived he came with a reputation of being a disciplinarian and strong on principles .....I like him and hope that when we get a few more back he can get the results to convince chansiri to keep here for next season . .....

Guest Bulgaria Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 the very notion that posters think that jos waiving his arms around would make him a better manager is quite frankly absurd. However, over the past few weeks the team has been making numerous errors on the field and not once has Jos been seen to be geeing them up, barking out instructions or just plain showing some kind of emotion. Thats what rankles with me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HIGHERSTATE Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 After watching SKY for so many years I reckon people just want a bit of pantomime on the touchline. Not that it affects the result at all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its like at work, if the manager doesnt get stuck in and is lazy, his employees will likely not get stuck in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owlstastic Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 Do you mean this sort of "pashun"? No ta. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This PASHUN nonsense is utterly ridiculous. The players are giving their all...they cannot be faulted for their work rate. We aren't winning games, because we aren't very good. Motivation simply isn't the issue. It's bonkers to suggest it is. At the end of the game, we had players down on their haunches, Pudil lying down...they were devastated they drew the game. They can be criticised for poor performances, making poor decisions, slipping at the key time, not stopping a cross coming into the box...but no way can the players be criticised for not trying or caring. And that goes for the manager also. Did Reach give it his all to stop that cross coming in? A manager showing more on the touchline can be enough with players liable to switch off to stay switched on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Equally he just stood there when we were dreadful for a few years too. When the team is doing well you don't expect a manager to be vocal and all over the place, when a team is doing bad the fans want to see a manager actively trying to change things for the better. If that is given a full back a verbal then so be it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Southie_Owl Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 It’s more about enthusiasm and motivation, than passion. My own view is players would prefer to play under managers like Klopp, Warnock, Big Sam Dyche, Howe etc, who shout orders AND encouragement from the sidelines. Than they would like to play for a manager who stands still with his hands in his pockets whilst looking like his mrs’ has forgotten to collect him from work, again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A manager showing more on the touchline can be enough with players liable to switch off to stay switched on. So now we're saying Reach doesn't care?! When will it stop? We've now decided the only serious contender for player of the season doesn't care. One of the few players available presently capable of creating something from nothing doesn't care. All because he failed to prevent a cross coming. Of course...every cross that makes its way into the box is a direct result of the relevant defender not "giving his all." Nothing to do with the fact, he was playing centre midfield and had to cover a lot of ground to get across to left back. Or the fact he'd ran his b0llocks off and it might have been tiredness. Or the fact, he isn't a defender. Or maybe...occasionally, wingers just happen to get crosses into the box. I despair. I really do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigdan2003 Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 (edited) He might not jump around waving his arms like Megson or Carlos. But this notion that all he ever does is sit down and does nowt is absolute gonads. I’m not sure what people want him to do. Do we had such needy fans that all they want to see is someone gum flapping on the touch line to demonstrate he cares? Criticise him for tactics or subs or whatever. But this stuff about pashun is just desperate nonsense. Edited March 12, 2018 by bigdan2003 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps he should rant and rave at a player every time there's a misplaced pass. Does wonders for confidence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
