You clearly lack an appreciation as to the roles these people play in a modern football club.
The term Strength and Conditioning Coach just about tells you what you need to know.
Yes ACLs come from various parts of the game including tackles, turns, landings etc.
The bulk of work from S&C coaches together with the medical team are in injury prevention. A persons Hamstrings and Quadriceps (and more) can be linked to ACLs. Over worked, understrength. I’m no medical expert I’ve never had one but know countless players who have.
I agree entirely. All I am saying is that there is nothing yet to suggest that things are going badly and certainly nothing that guarantees disaster as some seem to be implying.
What amuses me is that many posters call for change but struggle to come to terms with it. It is clear that BB was unhappy with the system whereby the playing style of the club was dictated by whatever manager came in - the more experienced the manager, the more likely that was to happen - so he is trying to change that way of working. Of course, it might go wrong, but at least let’s wait a while.
As for the coaching staff and new players, I know we all want news but my guess is that much is going on and I suspect that the coaching staff might even be in place already.
For me it’s ‘wait and see’. Reasonably encouraged by Ben Boycott’s words but the proof of the pudding will be in the eating - actions speak louder than words. Personally I don’t feel we need a complete overhaul of the squad as have a decent base to build on in the goalkeeping, back line and defensive midfield areas - but we were clearly a long way from being good enough up front after we lost DJ. Not sure about creativity in midfield, maybe some of the players will do better now we’ve dispensed with Flynn’s awful hoofball style. My fervent hope is that we go back to, as the great Alan Buckley called it ‘playing football the way it was meant to be played’!
Ground freehold, moving away from an autonomous manager, improving the matchday experience, getting rid of players with poor disciplinary records. There are other things that we have to wait to see how they turn out - playing style and player recruitment for example but that cannot be judged at the moment.
This sums up this thread pretty much. There are certain posters on here who are negative no matter what happens. I guess that’s their prerogative but it makes me wonder what exactly would make them happy.
The land has been acquired and of course it involved Bonser, plain facts. What happens next (in respect of action) will reveal Trivelas intentions for the football side of the takeover. Taking 5 weeks to appoint Mat Sadler looks risky, as does taking 12 months of ownership plus goodness knows how long of prior involvement/due diligence to come up with the wooliest of cunning plans since Baldrick’s knitting pattern for a big woolly jumper won first prize in the plans for big woolly things competition. Anyway, lets see what the weeks ahead bring, shall we do it??? It’s only June the 2nd…
We go through this process every single preseason. Like I said on another thread ‘Rinse Repeat FC’ has started in ernest for 23/24.
The same posters push out the same, sugar coated narrative, get loads of likes, lecture anyone with a genuine, usually totally justified concern and call them negative.
Then 6 months into the season the soul searching starts. There is literally nothing to get either excited or downbeat about yet. Just a lot of empty waffle and little action.
Am I worried. Absolutely. Never been so worried. We have been here before, but this does feel different. However, I acknowledge the best pre season any of us have ever seen may be about to swing into action.
Pointed out numerous times that the desire for this has been way over blown for years (which was even parroted by the same leadership at the club that vowed to change that) and will have little to no impact on the pitch, certainly in the short term.
Zero guarantee of success. That process has succeeded at many clubs, including this one. It’s failed at many clubs, including this one.
How many years has this been said and not achieved?
ok to be honest I don’t give a shit about disciplinary records. I just want good players.
Let’s all agree to disagree as to how we see things and reconvene in 6 months time for an update on the progress/degeneration/stagnation of WFC and take it from there, because we all hold our own thoughts and versions of events and no one will convince the other to change their thought process, and why should they. This topic will always be here, regardless of where we are as a club and all conversations are just leading round and round in circles…
“Why’s everybody being so negative we’re only 8 points off the playoff. If we put a run together we can still get there”
“When have we ever had league winners run of form post January?”
“You’re just being negative”
“Realist”
He had 3 games, all of them dead-rubbers and had ROK doing most of the coaching.
If he’d had 10 or so games, and got us performing consistently better than we had been under Flynn then I’d be ok with the appointment, but he didn’t.
For all Boycott’s talk of ‘strategy’ - where the f*ck was the strategy in sacking a manager 3 games before the end of the season with nothing to play for whilst on a run of 1 win in 20?
I agree that is the more likely reason Flynn left - I imagine there were tough discussions re budget. Does kind of answer why the club took so long to appoint someone else, they were totally unprepared and had no plans to sack Flynn until he called their bluff.
ok
