disagree.... because the opposition would change there tactics to suit.... ie imagine they put a big 10 foot bruiser on to deal with Stan cos they thought he was fit.... then imagine we stuck little coulson on instead to strip him speed wise.... now if we played mind games on who would be in/out/fit/injured then they can't actually have a guess with there own players/tactics to minimise our players impacts.... if that makes any sense Fair play to Davey I say...
Didn't they say they were "doubtful" Nothing wrong in that. They might be doubtful, but ok come game day.
Agreed Jay, it's 'just pretending' at best. Quality mind games would involve some kind of quick chat with the Leicester players before hand so they come out thinking they're all cockerals or summat.
I think hypnotism or Davey getting off with Nigel Worthingtons wife and then blaming someone else and calling her a slag needs to be involved before it can really be classed as true "mind games".
Another tactic Davey should consider putting a 'closed' sign up at Oakwell for when the Leicester team bus arrives.
but isn't that about an hour before kick off for the referees and FA etc didn't think it was a requirement to give it to the other side...
RE: Another tactic In the tunnel get Neil Austin to pull a pair of girls knickers out of his shorts, show them to the Leicester keeperand tellhim that his missus swallows.
And these ideas are just off the top of our heads. Davey's had ages to think up things like this and all he comes up with is pretending people are a bit poorly. Davey Out.
RE: but isn't that about an hour before kick off for the referees and FA etc The other side gets the team sheet too.
i don’t think the manager gets to see the other teams team sheet, this info is collected by the referrer and not disclosed. The only way the other manager can find out is by watching who trains.
