This is the philosophy, apparently..

Davey was very much in this ilk. Got three years and millions to spend. Strap in.

 

If they've fed this little lot into the minds of the players, it's no wonder they haven't got a clue what to do next on the pitch.

 

This

 

I think I am in the 'corridor of confusion'.

 

I'm in the 'armchair of smugness' at the moment.

Didn't renew ST this year and Bobbys Testimonial was my last game. Was hoping that it was going to draw me back in, but apart from the Everton match (watched on TV), the more I read & hear, the more I think it was a wise choice.

 

Jesus f'kin christ.

I'm lost for words

What the **** is POMO

 

I actually feel more disappointed now, having read that philosophy than I did at full time. Because it ******* dunt half explain a lot. It's amusing, but worrying. Because it's not a comedy piece, it's an actual blueprint for our football club under this management.

 

They should rename the corridor between the changing rooms and the tunnel to the corridor of confusion because somewhere between the changing room and the pitch they appear to lose all memory of a team talk.

It's no coincidence that the area of the pitch that they water constantly is called the spin and slide zone. The only change I'd make is to call it the ******* 'slip and slide zone'.

Ben Pearson with his permed hair in the 'drag zone' and Dan Crowley who refuses to pass in the 'possession zone'(libton will announce a sponsorship deal with linda blair on Monday) sounds about right.

Piss take.

Davies never leaves the area for a starter.

 

Position of Maximum Opportunity

AKA

6 yards out and can't miss, unless your name's Dave. Regis.

 

Aaahhh.

Makes sense. Just a shame we don't get anywhere near

Cheers

A simple game ruined.

Give him a ball and a yard of grass.

 

Or Marley Watkins..

I don't know whether to laugh or cry at this document. To be honest, I just don't know what to think..

Perhaps it would come across better as a presentation - lets give them the benefit of the doubt.

 

Naew. It's a load of management speak, cliched ******** I hear myself at work, cringey nonsense. Making simple things seem far more complicated, and serving only to load peoples minds with unnecessary baggage.

Do footballers really need a diagram showing areas of the pitch, highlighting the ******* obvious with silly names? It looks to me like someone is trying to be clever, and someone else has bought it. Nothing in that whole philosophy linked in post one is of any interest. It's mainly the obvious, dressed up in a daft or 'clever' name. Plus, some bloody weird stuff.

But, if we're saying this is the philosophy, then daft/silly names or not, I'm not seeing much individual brilliance 25 yards out, neither any bombing down those alleys. I don't feel our safe zone is safe, the only confusion in that corridor is why have we only got one bloke in there and I can only assume the 10/11 faces behind the ball is referring to us defending corners. It might be a cool, modern thing, but anyone employing this 10 men back for corners tactic is a ******* numpty.

All in all, I'd have been disappointed with today's defeat regardless. I saw this as a must win game, in the context of it being against a newly promoted club who'd lost their star players, us being at home and with a near on full strength squad to choose from. Maybe that's being over-expectant, I dunno, or arrogant. But it's a sad state of affairs if we're not allowed to fancy our chances in such circumstances.
But having come across this ******* manifesto of ********, I'm even more disappointed. Was certain it was a WSB wind-up.

I've had a lovely lasagne though, and I've still two beers left before bed.

You Reds.

 

Oldham fan in peace - we've been laughing at this on our forum, especially the diagram with "bomb alley" and the "corridor of confusion".

We knew LJ liked his powerpoint, but seriously this is pure comedy!

However, our manager seems to have extended an area, the corridor of confusion actually covered our whole playing surface today

 

It's amazing. Football coaches trying to be academics. Would be hilarious if they weren't running our football club. Them daft PowerPoint figures with arrows, amazing.

 

I've seen Barnsley lad Jordan Clark's goal now. Nobody tries to stop his jog through the centre of the pitch, a good 50 yards he carries it unchallenged. Yet part of LJ's philosophy is 'hunting in packs for 6 seconds til regaining possession'. I think, Houston, there might be a pigeon in the matrix of ********.

 

And the "Spin and Slide" zone has been redesignated the "Depeche Mode Area" - We spin and slide as we fall in love, and I just can't seem to get enough of, duh-duh-duh-duh-duh-duh-duh-duh

 

It's the nearest thing to Simon Davey's dossier we're ever going to get.

Don't get me wrong, I understand the principle of breaking it down & making it clear to our players what's expected in certain areas of the pitch but stuff like this being out there is just asking for trouble.

They've basically just written WSB10 for us. Cheers lads.
