Phil Sloggett":14tdutf3 said:I think this point is worth revisiting today.
The team (and the coaching staff, including Sheridan!) need to spend some quality time on the training pitch this week working out how we are going to set about breaking down Accrington Stanley and ensuring we pick up 3 points next Saturday.
i agree.you can't get a good result every time,just ask chelsea in their recent fa cup match.the difference is tony pulis will work to arrest this defeat.our coaching set up is embarrassing.allegedly,john harbin reads social media,perhaps he could do a run down of the daily and weekly training that the players do in his page in the programme.sheridan,mccarthy and harbin should be dismissedjerryatricjanner":2n570qsd said:Clearly an off day for the Pulls regime yesterday.
Steve Evans":2q0nze5d said:a trusted friend of mine works in the life centre.the word training is completely foreign to the players when they go over there.Phil Sloggett":2q0nze5d said:How often do the players train?
What do the players do in training?
Who takes the sessions?
Are the players working on the issues which keep cropping up in games?
When teams are struggling it is the work on the training pitch which determines whether the issues are ironed out. Will the team be sitting down to watch a re-run of the game from today and have it pointed out to them where they need to improve so that we can get back to winning ways?
I don't think that would be a bad idea.

hartlepool have just hammered us mate.something is wrong with the training/team spirit. :furious:Quizmike":5oi26zmp said:philevs":5oi26zmp said:Perhaps someone from the club can come on here and give some answers about training, PASOTI is advertised at the ground and perhaps this gives it some sort of officialness?
And tell the world about our training techniques? You forgot that this forum is viewed by people far and wide.
because sean doesn't give a flying f@nny about any other club other than swansea and wotton,who i would not make manager,has got green blood pulsing through his body and played over 400 matches for us.xmastree":3lkcggjq said:Steve Evans":3lkcggjq said:i agree.you can't get a good result every time,just ask chelsea in their recent fa cup match.the difference is tony pulis will work to arrest this defeat.our coaching set up is embarrassing.allegedly,john harbin reads social media,perhaps he could do a run down of the daily and weekly training that the players do in his page in the programme.sheridan,mccarthy and harbin should be dismissedjerryatricjanner":3lkcggjq said:Clearly an off day for the Pulls regime yesterday.
Just as a matter of interest, Steve, why does Sean McCarthy make your hitlist and Paul Wotton doesn't?
Phil Sloggett":c2pz7g9j said:GreenGreen":c2pz7g9j said:What do you see as the issues?
A lack of ideas going forward. Passing the ball around (in a forward direction). Lack of goals. Getting players into the box when we are attacking (how many times did the ball end up in their area, only for their to be no one there!). Defending at set pieces and corners (though apparently they practised defending those all week). General defensive frailties. Shape. Communication / talking to one another. Confidence (the players seem to have lost a lot of it). Desire to play for the shirt.
Oh, and making sure the players know their individual jobs and how to carry out the manager's game plan!

Even some of our more skilful players have one foot that is only used for standing on.
I would assume that if I was a professional footballer, there would be plenty of time for me to have one on one coaching time to use my other foot.
Even at league 2 level there is no reason that players cannot be encouraged to develop additional skills.

Fully agree.
It amazes me that some of our players, as professional footballers, only seem to be able to shoot with their 'good' foot, hence easy to shepherd them onto their 'bad' one and prevent them getting in a shot. Why not spend time getting good with the other foot as well? Working 3 hours a day isn't a lot, is it? They could come back and do an hour on these basics later in the day. I would want to if I were a pro, wouldn't have to force me! Same applies to basic ball control, so that the ball isn't continually bouncing off 2-3 yards away after the first touch and we lose possession. Other teams often just seem to have better ball control than us.
we should expect our players to be as fit and motivated as our recent conquerors,that giant team of the north east,hartlepool united.they hammered argyle.the management/coaching staff should be dismissed now! :furious:jimsing":2qecs2bb said:philevs":2qecs2bb said:davie nine":2qecs2bb said:We have nobody in the team with the confidence, or perhaps ability, to shoot accurately from 20/25 yards (OK Ryan Brunt managed that yesterday).

We're in the bottom division of the Football League, mate, not the top of the Premiership. That's why we are where we are, isn't it?
Sometimes you lot expect far too much.
