Popular Post Lord Snooty Posted November 16, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted November 16, 2020 You get pigeonholed. You accept it or you fight it. I’ve accepted it. That’s what people think and it doesn’t bother me. People go on about my style of play.... ......But I tell you what I do – I go into football clubs, I try to find out what systems suit the players and I try to get the damnedest out of those players. 36 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldishowl Posted November 16, 2020 Share Posted November 16, 2020 I just feel that if he had any hair he would pull it out trying to sort this lot out. He will struggle to find the type of characters and winners he likes at the club. Will have to bring in two or three he knows in January 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s more the mentality issue, he refers to winners and character. As a club we struggle with this and I can’t get my head around why. Is it something the player just has or can a manager instil it. We take winners and turn them into wimps. We did that with Dave Jones for example. He played lots of games in a successful Burnley side under a very competitive manager and we turned him into a girls blouse. I just think within half a dozen games he will see the issue , probably already knows it. We have a ridiculous foul and card count yet are the most naive and bullied team in the league. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burnley must have seen us coming with that signing. An absolute bust flush of a player. Still sends a shudder down my spine. Especially Dyches parting thank you "We can't stand in his way or match what Sheffield Wednesday can give him" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Errol Flashman Posted November 17, 2020 Share Posted November 17, 2020 Well you tend to get pigeonholed when you've done the same thing a few times don't you? That said, I've got no problem if we're playing high tempo stuff and getting the ball slung in their box.. I know one thing I prefer seeing the ball in their box more than seeing it near ours. Then again when I first started going Howard were manager and I found it right exciting. Whenever I saw a ball being driven towards Chapmans head in were out me seat. 4 1 2 Just a bloke. Being dragged along in a world that moves too quick for it's own good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strange coincidence he goes into a club, assess the players to find out what system suits them and then comes to the conclusion they will play exactly the same system he has done at every other club. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, it's quite funny how our perception of the style can change if we have that one player who can actually do something up front. I think Pulis would have liked to have Fletcher here right now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was thinking this yesterday, would suit his style of striker to a tee in this division. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
