@owlstalk Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 Former #SWFC defender Jon Newsome shares his thoughts in his latest Sheffield Star article It may seem to be a really minor detail here especially in a game where we ran out comfortable winners but I feel we can start the game with a better and higher tempo. When we play with tempo and are positive we are a lot better outfit. I am sure it isn’t just me that can see that if we score the first goal we visibly grow in confidence and on many occasions play far more positive and attacking football. I would love us to stretch that oppositions back four early in he game, get them turned around and pin them in their own half.

A E Neuman NYowl Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 Agree totally A strange one this as we were also slow out of the blocks under Carlos, can't believe both managers were coaching this. Maybe need to look at our overall preparation for games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only Carlos and Jos don't see this! managers are there to get results not pander to the wishes of fans & journalists, if they think keeping it tight early on is the way to achieve good results which in carlos's case it did for 2 years and lately the same with jos then it's probably justified .

marcx666 Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 In other news, rain is wet. Seriously even Newsome has been saying this for ages, does he just copy and paste his columns these days? 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AwokenGiant Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 (edited) Think it’s idealistic to think that a team can start every game the same. Think it’s naive to think that that’s not what most teams try to achieve (ie a high tempo), but in reality it’s not that simple. For example, I think it would be both foolish and defeatist to say to a team before the game: “today lads I think we should start with a slow-tempo (both with or without the ball)” I don’t think either our players or management would be competing at their level if this was their philosophy. Come on - it’s not a v thought out article Edited April 25, 2018 by AwokenGiant 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
