So I think what we are seeing is a coach who follows a book and isn't confident in his own thoughts...hence the lack of passion. These licenses, are stifling our natural ability to play. The recent game between Arsenal and Dundalk, the coach of Dundalk wasn't allowed to coach his team for that game cos FIFA said he didn't have his 'Pro license'. I'm all for setting standards in coaching because it brings professionalism, but when it's the B all and end all then where's the difference going to come from? Anyway a 4-4-2 is a very sophisticated and flexible system that only invidualised and experienced coaches can master. Because you can effectively stack the defence and counter at the same time. But they don't coach coaches to learn this. Hence the position we're in. We're a massive club and SHOULD be in the prem, and knocking on the top 5 door. And using our academy players also rather than these agent led B graders. Other wise what's the point of an academy. Now I'm ranting. But arghhh.......ahhhh I feel better now.... Ooo the wife's just made me an egg sandwich Really interesting post, especially from someone called Eggy Bread. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stripes or die Posted November 3, 2020 Share Posted November 3, 2020 After recent performances it's really difficult to see how we can get anything out of this one. However, this is Wednesday were talking about so I'm going 3-1 Wizards. UTO FTB 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0114 Posted November 3, 2020 Share Posted November 3, 2020 Would be a tough game even if we was a decent side. Still have Josh King to come in and play and on top of that David Brooks. They look, on paper at least a very good side! Unbeaten aswell so far. I don’t see anything but a win for Bournemouth. I don’t see anything but Monk sticking with a back 3 and I don’t see any sort of magical change. Seems he’s sticking with this formation and he will go down with his ship. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldishowl Posted November 3, 2020 Share Posted November 3, 2020 I don’t think I even want us to score first because it will just be kidding us. Absolutely no way are we capable of defending a lead , especially if it gets near the end. Don’t think I want another late winner from the opposition, it’s just horrible. One of the absolute tell tale signs of a good v bad side is that good sides don’t concede late goals, unfortunately if we were 3 up we wouldn’t be confident. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only way is S6 Posted November 3, 2020 Share Posted November 3, 2020 Excellent omdt your grace. Bournemouth are even money. The logic says back them. My bets usually fail, so Wednesday win. If the bet wins, so do I. Feels wrong, but we are pants. UTO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Owls_fan_since_1983 Posted November 3, 2020 Share Posted November 3, 2020 I think Wednesday will lose 4-0 and Monk will still be our manager Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WalthamOwl Posted November 3, 2020 Share Posted November 3, 2020 Would a defeat mean Monk is sacked? If it did I think for our future I would take that. Unfortunately I don’t even think a heavy defeat would mean he is sacked. Chansiri will confirm he is still backing him on Thursday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ooo the wife's just made me an egg sandwich Agreed, coaches are killing the game we once knew and loved. I remember going to a seminar run by Sean Macaulay. All about zonal play. Getting to the bye line and pulling a cross back like say Peter Barnes used to do, was said to be old fashioned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
