Re: Is this true ? .. 10 days off ?? WTF ???
Redditch BlueRagsAnd how do you know those things haven’t happened?
The fact we’ve taken one point from five games doesn’t mean Rooney et al have been sat with their feet up.
But you know that, don’t you?
Ethan Laird was incredibly upbeat after the Ipswich game I thought, talking about all the work that had gone on regarding the changes he’s trying to implement.
Now you can choose to ignore that or disbelieve it but, in the absence of any proof to the contrary, it’ll do for me.
ALL the players have had 9 days off ... only injured players have been to the training ground in those 9 days - have you read the start of the thread ?
Yes, but what difference does that make to a single word I’ve said?
I’ve stated that a player has spoken about the work that’s gone on so far.
There’s now been a break. I’m nowhere near as upset about that as you appear to be.
Serious question. Just how much time do we actually need to imbed new ideas? How many times can they be told x, y or z? At some stage or other, they’re either going to be able to implement those ideas or not.
I’m not being sarcastic. I’m not happy we’ve appointed Rooney, but we have and I’ve got no issue at all with this break for some of the players.
I’m no more or less confident for the coming weeks than I would be if the players had been in for a fortnight day in, day out.
Of course they need drilling over and over to be familiar with what’s required of them. Football is complicated, a properly organised press is difficult and takes loads of time to drill.
