Speaking about playing Barnsley at the weekend. “Never played against a team like that at any level of football. The way they play is mental. They play this ridiculous high line which means they only have to press in one half of the pitch which means they are so effective against the more possession based teams.” That’s the start of the interview. Rest is on https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podca...sodeGuid=tag:soundcloud,2010:tracks/995967733 Starts at about 12:30 mins in. He’s very complimentary of us, and he could tell that our players are “sniffing” promotion!
Thanks mate great to hear, very complimentary. Sounds like Brian Howard. Highlights the importance of Brad Collins too
It was a great listen - particularly nice to hear that from an opposing player in a game where I thought the press wasn't quite as heavy or effective as it has been in other games recently.
So our direct balls are not designed just to pi55 off the purist fans, but a tactical ploy to allow our entire system to work by giving the back line time to push up and close the space in front for our press.
Fair play he even goes out of his way to make a point that we aren’t respected enough, you can tell he really means what he’s saying too credit to him
Just listened to this. Speaks very well of us. Refreshing to hear really, compared to the negative post match interviews that opposition managers usually give.
