Thracian Posted 12 March 2008 Posted 12 March 2008 What I would want to do: ================ a) Appoint Taggart/Beaglehole as manager/assistant with the mission to score some goals and save our status. b) Increase our options by recalling Gradel (if possible) and Shush!. c) Appoint a specialist attacking coach. d) Make sure our side includes more scoring potential through the use of King, Beswick, McKay and the returning loanees both in the starting X1 and on the bench though obviously not all at once. e) Resolve to work on our team attacking/defending as a single unit instead of being disjointed as at present. f) Resolve to be positive and high tempo in every aspect of our play from the opening minute onwards. g) Start using the centre-backs again as twin attackers at dead ball situations. h) Ban Kisnorbo from taking free-kicks. i) Dedicate a significant amount of time to specialist free-kick taking. j) Ensure we always have midfielders/full-backs backing up any attacks. k) Discourage high balls to Howard up front save from the flanks. l) Experiment by using a mobile front four and get them to use far more cross-overs and decoy runs. m) Have training involve both morning and afternoon sessions. n) Consider and practice with alternative playing systems including 3-4-3, 4-5-1 and a fluid 4-2-4. o) Work hard on faster distribution from the goalkeeper, preferably to feet. p) Work on faster, more accurate passing right through the team. q) Be much more professional about creating space from throw ins and on using long throws. r) Encourage all players to look for opportunities to attack and to attempt things without fear in the front third of the fear. s) Adopt a much more aggressive shoot-on-sight policy. t) Instill reactive attitudes to possible scenarios like going a goal down, going a goal up, having a man sent off, having a man advantage. u) Give Mattock the confidence to expand his game. v) Spend time mentally taking the fear out of all situations. w) Ensure the approach of all lower team football was mirrored on that of the first team. x) Demonstrate to the players that you have faith in them and would never criticise them in public. y) Involve the fans in your thinking and really work on them becoming an extra man both through PR and through the sort of football presented. z) Introduce and unyielding clan spirit to run throughout the club.
FoxesFan123 Posted 12 March 2008 Posted 12 March 2008 cant be bothered to read all, but i'd say B and D from the first few
jumbo mills Posted 12 March 2008 Posted 12 March 2008 Appoint taggart and beaglehole, holloway to be moved upstairs as director of football
Raj Posted 12 March 2008 Posted 12 March 2008 Id demolish The Walkers and rebuild Filbert Street. We should NEVER have moved!!!!!
Zingari Posted 12 March 2008 Posted 12 March 2008 how can we add any more suggestions you've used up all the letters in the alphabet
Thracian Posted 12 March 2008 Author Posted 12 March 2008 how can we add any more suggestions you've used up all the letters in the alphabet When I started trying to evaluate what needed changing or improving it really staggered me. Yet it's just a start. Certain areas have barely been mentioned.
Bojimha Posted 12 March 2008 Posted 12 March 2008 Get them to spend a whole day striking the ball and practice taking shots from all different kinds of angles and crosses.
Zingari Posted 12 March 2008 Posted 12 March 2008 a trip to la manga might prove beneficial to team spirit and that
Blarmyboy Posted 12 March 2008 Posted 12 March 2008 We could start a campaign for every fan to purchase a Lottery Ticket on behalf of LCFc and hope that we come up trumps and buy out MM ! You may laugh - but the odds are better than any of our stikers hittting a cows arse with a banjo !
lcfc_jme Posted 12 March 2008 Posted 12 March 2008 Get them to spend a whole day striking the ball and practice taking shots from all different kinds of angles and crosses. All well and good, but in our squad at the moment, we have strikers who scored a combined total of 66 goals last season, 60 if we don't include Elvis as an active squad member (figures taken from wikipedia + soccerbase): Steve Howard (16) Barry Hayles (14) DJ Campbell (12) Iain HUUUUUUUUUUUME (14) Matty "Messiah" Fryatt (4) Elvis HammONd (ankle; 6) The stats evidently suggest the strikers for the most part (Fryatt ) know how to score, so why they're just suddenly wank this season when we've apparently strengthened our squad is beyond me. It really is.
Durnerz Posted 12 March 2008 Posted 12 March 2008 I'd sign myself up to show them how to do it. They'd be so embarassed they'd just have to follow my lead.

It really is. That's an excellent point and one I'm sure we all find extraordinary. And I'd include Fryatt in that. There might be debate about how suited Fryatt is to Championship football but bloody hell he's not that bad. There's 10 Championship goals a season in Fryatt at the very least given the right team around him. My concern was always whether he could score 15 goals a season - not five!
Dr The Singh Posted 12 March 2008 Posted 12 March 2008 I would hire Thracian as manager, make myself a director of football and Hire Master Fox as my assistant!! a) I would allow Thracian to 're-double' efforts on the footy pitch b) Allow Thracian to play the youth squad c) Allow Thracian to play a injured Hammond, fook the insurers and the PFA, if I say he plays, he plays d) All leisure and socail activities will be dictated by me, so the whole squad will be doing a tour of all lap dancing clubs and massage parlours, all particlurly chosen by MAster Fox IF were gonna go down, then were gonna go down having fun!!!

Barber barrels as boundaries to the training ground pitches and we're away! :scarf:
Dr The Singh Posted 12 March 2008 Posted 12 March 2008 Barber barrels as boundaries to the training ground pitches and we're away! :scarf: Yes, that's the thinking that made you my managers choice!!!
Bellend Sebastian Posted 12 March 2008 Posted 12 March 2008 I'd tell them to try to be less shit and then go home. They are professional footballers, after all. They should have a fairly good idea of what to do
