He needs players (in the summer) to make a difference imo. He needed coaches to sort it at Christmas/ New Year 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have so many coaches that it would be amazing if we didn't. 1 hour ago, maldino2004 said: At this level of football I definitely feel a need for a commanding, ball winning centre half in the mould of an Aden Flint, Miguel Liera, or Rob Jones type of player. I think that’s what we have been sadly lacking this season. I also think that it can make a big difference if you have your centre half’s chipping in with a few goals throughout the season. Diaby was supposed to be that guy I suppose but he spent recent years struggling at Barnsley while the supporters were told he was a PNE player where we had been impressed with Storey whom we successfully but only briefly replaced with McGuinness.

Bluesteel. Posted April 4 Share Posted April 4 Should be a fundamental but I think set plays reflect the attitude of a team. How up for the battle they are. If we go down as suspected now that is a building block for any team trying to make top six in L1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah but when we have one of those types, they’re ’too slow’ usually for first team Championship football. Or can’t pass. Or both. Or only defend well against certain teams…. Say a fair few of our fan base it seems. “EHHH - AV SEEN CEMENT TURN QUICKER THAN ‘IM OVVA THEEYER” etc etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freshfish Posted April 4 Share Posted April 4 He might want to suggest our defenders, when defending, don't concentrate on holding a players shirt but marking the player and watching the ball. And when it's our attacking option he could suggest not trying to hold a players shirt and trying to jump from a standing start but have a couple making runs to actually meet the ball and be able to jump higher. Just a suggestion or two... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bulldog Posted April 5 Share Posted April 5 So after taking the job on over 5 months ago, he's decided to concentrate on defending set pieces for the last 6 games. What could possibly go wrong? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What could possibly go wrong? I am pretty sure that this isn't new information, set pieces been a struggle all season. No matter how much you work on in training, if players just switch off and not committed to winning the ball, we are going to get punished.
