Dave_Og Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 if he doesn't have the skills himself, what can he possibly teach them that they don't already know. Tiger Woods had a coach when he was at the top of his game, Usain Bolt has a coach but I doubt he can run faster than his pupil etc.etc. etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our players are bog standard 3rd tier footballers that need to LEARN. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our players are bog standard 3rd tier footballers that need to LEARN. Point is that coaching is a distinct skill which may have some, but certainly not 100% correlation with playing ability.

beag_teeets Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 Without wishing to sound like a mouldering old fossil, can we not ditch all this Power-Point, scientifically influenced, point-of-maximum-opportunity bull:censored: and just play football? These guys are run-of-the-mill league one footballers whose brains would do better to think about what to do with the ball at their feet, rather than having to consider that the ball is in 'quandrant 3 of the mildly threatening zone' and that they should be running to the 'position of the most opportunity for defensive rebuffing', FFS! An alternative viewpoint is that many other teams use the 'the net is that way, hit the round thing at it" approach. By using the powerpoint, diet, marginal gains approach a team can get ahead of the opponents. - See British Cycling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But that was by looking at their beds, taking them with them, that sort of thing. Not by stating Pedal faster to win. I think that is a given at professional level. My 8 year old has taken in most of the above. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those things probably work wonders for British cycling, but that's at the elite level of the sport. The same scientific approach may give the elite football teams of the world an advantage. I just don't think it does anything but over complicate the game at our level. Interesting where the link 'See British Cycling' takes you. Do you think having that as next years home strip will give us a marginal gain?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BP1960 Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 (edited) It would be a marginal gain if ever Connor Brown reaches zone 14. *Amend that to massive gain Edited September 15, 2015 by BP1960 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting do you think the British Cycling approach would work if so who would you appoint is anybody in the frame? If the above did happen it would create a chain of events, are we really geared up to cope, think we should tread carefully before proceeding.

If the above did happen it would create a chain of events, are we really geared up to cope, think we should tread carefully before proceeding. I think the approach was being taken for example by Wenger with diet and flexibility and balance training. Cycling lends itself much more to science (for example the GB team deliberately sending an undercooked squad to the World Championships the year before the Olympics). Strangely given the Stupid Footballers thing their brains have far far more input into success than cyclists. Chris Hoyle didn't need to know how his wheels were rounder to win.

Wenger now thinks under 21 academies have been a disaster in restricting the progress of young players. An example of a trendy idea going badly wrong. He wants to go back to the time of open age reserve teams. Edited September 15, 2015 by BP1960 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diego_Sideburns Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 DD says in the Chron: “In the short term, we need to get results and I am sure the fans will agree. There’s nothing wrong with winning 1-0.” http://www.oldham-chronicle.co.uk/news-features/10/oldham-athletic-news/94076/instant-impact With the current defenders, Latics will need to score more than one to win.
