Intensity during training sessions- don't worry we can injure the other half of the squad as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post turkish14 Posted 30 May 2023 Popular Post Share Posted 30 May 2023 1 hour ago, BenTheFox said: Whoever the manager is, they have to make us the fittest and most hardworking team in the league. I would like to think that we will have more quality than most teams in the league and if we outwork the opposition then our quality should show. Last time we were in the championship we didn't just have more quality than most teams in the league, we were a cut above anyone else in terms of fitness and athleticism. This for me is the main failure this season. Our lack of fitness and athleticism compared to other teams has been shockingly bad. Others will say it’s desire, lack of fight… but anyone that has played sport/competed at a high level will know when you feel physically and mentally exhausted, being able to get stuck in, be intensive is impossible to do. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patrick Posted 30 May 2023 Share Posted 30 May 2023 (edited) 1 hour ago, Get Carter said: i'm going to get hammered for saying this and I don't care 😂 Scott Parker Promoted Fulham in 2020 through the playoffs Promoted Bournemouth in 2022 automatically We need a manager that knows the division and knows what it takes to get the team up He only just managed automatics with Bournemouth, it looked like Forest were going to catch them for much of the latter stages of the season, I recall Bournemouth throwing away lots of must wins against average teams. His response to the 9-0 this season was pathetic too and had shades of Rodgers, went to the media and bashed his players and said they weren't good enough to stay in the division and then when he was replaced by his assistant it turned out they were good enough. At Fulham and Bournemouth he inherited squads that were promotion ready too, he has no track record in squad building. Would be a terrible choice.

He's definitely a brilliant man manager and coach by the sounds of it. He really reminds me of Pearson in how he speaks to the media. Obviously he’s younger, and he’s less oppositional than Pearson was at times, but he plays a good brand of football. Interestingly he’s always played 3-5-2 (or 3-4-1-2) as a manager. With our lack of ability to recruit a decent winger recently this might not actually be a bad thing. Realistically we could line up like this if we are brave and keep Kel for the season: Iversen JJ Souttar Faes Ricardo New CM KDH Kristiansen New AM Kel Daka Suddenly that team looks very capable for the championship. Clearly we’d need to sign a good few more players for the squad, especially as JJ and Ricardo aren’t reliable for fitness, and I’m not sure how effective Kristiansen would be in that role, but I think it goes some way to showing that if we’re smart in our appointment of a manager, potential recruitment may become less daunting too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
