forever blue Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 Just thinking from the Colchester game in which PD says when he was sent to the stand "You learn a lot about players individual performances" Do you think he would be better sitting in the Directors box 1st half and getting a better perpective of the game than stood on the touchline. I remember Joe Royal would always do this.Perhaps this would help him learn with his game plan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shefflatic Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 always said this - far better perspective on things - he can sit 1st half and swap wih taggart 2md half so they both get the chance to view thibgs and also be on the touchline. really dont know how they can assess how the game is going tactics wise from the touchline, i really dont.

oafc-latics Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 or even sit in the actual dugout which is elevated, and then they can run down with instructions Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slystallone Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 .......JSS isn't the only one either. I've noticed plenty of other posters; previously very level headed & mostly looked for the positives who now appear to be very cynical and negative. It's spreading.

Ah there's a lot of guff spouted on here nowadays (maybe the same as before and I'm just starting to notice it), this is my reaction to it. Truth be told if I didn't enjoy reading/posting in the other forums on OWTB then I wouldn't be on here very often at all. Don't you worry though, next time we are out together I will be my usual happy, optimistic, on-the-floor-after-two-pints self. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember Joe Royal would always do this.Perhaps this would help him learn with his game plan. Yes. I sit next to the directors box in the main stand (moaning away obviously...) and the view is excellent from the aspect of watching patterns of play and players movement off the ball etc. I have NEVER understood why managers stand on the touchline as the view cannot be as good. In fact, there is a seat free next to me at the next home game - it's your if you want it Paul. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
opinions4u Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 There's also a case for getting some height behind the goal. If you want to really judge how your wide players work / overlap on both sides of the pitch. Still .... he probably spends half his life watching match DVDs so it probably wouldn't make that much difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still .... he probably spends half his life watching match DVDs so it probably wouldn't make that much difference. it can only help in my view...you do get a different perspective of games and play...big always did it at bolton...then if things change dramatically he came down the thing is though,he already knows who isnt doing the basics right....so he needs to address this first and formost.

I remember Joe Royal would always do this.Perhaps this would help him learn with his game plan. Yep, sat next to an older head, ie.like a diretor of football, Tony Pulis at Stoke said that John Rudge ( ex Vale manager) is the most important signing he has ever made. Im not expecting a high calibre older head but someone who has been around for a while and knows the lower league ( inc Championship). I dont know of many but a cross between Stan Ternant, Joe Royle and Andy Ritchie would be perfect... Its obvious that we have a lack of nounce and I look at the bench and can Dux and Gerry really be so tatical acute to make a big impact to the boss.. I fear not, I really do think that Dux should be a reserve team coach and not near the first team... Id prefer PD , GT and an older head in the stands....who can communicate with PD throughout the match ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldhamandy1 Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 If that happens Dickov will walk, the only way that will happen is if it is his own choice. If Corney goes over his head then Dickov will walk and he will have every right to, it may have worked for Pulis but there are far more where it has failed.

Don't you worry though, next time we are out together I will be my usual happy, optimistic, on-the-floor-after-two-pints self. Forums are all about guff! Guff galore on here - always has been. Loving the guff! I reckon the manager's perspective of the game is a genuine point for discussion. I don't blame PD for not sitting in the main stand. He'd definitely be able to see how his team shapes up better, but then he'd also have to listen to the moaning, which would be no good at all.

leeslover Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 There was still a stain of blood and snot on the colchester turnstyle which you launched that flying headbutt at last time. A corner of an Essex field that is forever Oldham. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
singe Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 I don't know about sitting in the stands, but he has to try something different for his half time team talk. Maybe nhe could try doing it from the stands? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
