V strange. Not so much the appointment, more that we now have a joint number 2…smells wiffy to me. I’ll look at the official notice as to the rational on the train home.
I was watching the warm up before the Birmingham match a couple of weeks ago, and the players were doing a drill, passing the ball to Richard O’Kelly, who was laying it off for them to strike at the goal. His return passes were woeful, Hogan had to take a ball behind him before getting it under control to strike. Maybe he’s better on the ball the O’Kelly!
As for Norwich, the Bees tempo was too slow, and heads dropped after the first goal. Hogan had a fantastic chance at 2-0 down which may have changed the complexion of the game. Clearly the midfield isn’t strong enough, and that quick passing / movement we used to do isn’t happening any more. MacLeod was a big loss for us, as is Macca in my opinion…he adds that grit, steel and drive forward we badly miss, along with his encouragement of the players around him.
Why KK can’t get a look in at the moment I really don’t know…has to be worth a try.
Typical Pritchard ran the show on Sat. I said to my old man two seasons ago when he ran rings around the Bournemouth defence like a Matador, “I think he’s a fantastic player for us…I’d hate to play against him as he winds everyone up!”. Harlee getting caught up in a shouting match with the fans after was silly. I didn’t notice if he was geeing up his players during the match, if he wasn’t he should have been. And he probably should have apologised to the fans after and promise on behalf of the team to make amends against Burton.
Rob, I see the system like what happens in Ice Hockey (at least that’s the system I would like!) In that there is a head coach who oversees everything, chooses personnel and sets style/tactics, then a number of assistant coaches who take various aspects of training. I’d love us to have a defensive coach, attacking coach, etc who work with groups of players exclusively before Smith then trains with everyone together.
