Ping pong

Ekersley quoted in Chron, he is not used to playing ping pong style game that tarn playes. He is used to playing proper football, with passing on the ground

 

send him back

obviously doesnt see what real football is. has he read his dossier?

 

Judging by his gestures last weekend

He's also used to players moving to find space when a throw in is being taken as well.

 

since as long as I can remember..........

we have been absolute pants at throwins-we surely could practice in training throwing it to the least marked man in a Barnsley shirt??</p>

we're also pants at corners</p>

and dead ball situations around the box</p>

all these can be practiced and practiced and practiced </p>

I think it was A Gray on Sky last weekend who commented on the fact that in the Prem more and more goals are coming from set pieces</p>

 

A bit naughty of Mr Lodge to publish that piece

Talk about fanning the flames?

 

Re: Ping pong nt

 

wasn't there a time when we used to play the ball along the floor and play generally good football?

I think I vaguely remember something along those lines, wouldn't believe it now though. If a Man U reserve youth team player can criticise the football played at Oakwell and be correct in what he is saying then we are in a poor state indeed.

 

He will go the same way as all others who criticise

Two weeks after he came A McParland commented about the ball being given away too cheaply, not finding someone to pass to so hoof it and hope. He didnt last long, and no matter what will be said in reply he was a far better winger than he was given credit for.
