Home Form Suggestion

[hissingdwarf]

So true. The style of play under Maynard does little to take advantage of the sizeable crowds we have been attracting. Perhaps a quicker more forward (rather than passive sideways) style on Saturday will help generate more vocal support?

This. One word sets the situation. Tempo.
When we revert to type, we’re slow and almost painful to watch. Of course the atmosphere feeding off that is poor. When we move quickly with decisiveness, fans react as it literally gets us off our seats.

Home ‘pressure’ for players can only be relieved by players.

Look at Man Utd tonight. Poor first half and looked nervous, slow and ponderous. After the subs…boom. Suddenly the energy changed and they were free flowing. The crowd tbf, were great the whole game, but that’s down to the club. The players released the pressure themselves and looked to enjoy the game when they joined the dots.

Not turning it into a Maynard bash, but I genuinely believe the lack of presence and motivation skills lead us to play like we do.

Christ, the pre Wimbledon press conference is bloody depressing! Talk about putting people to sleep. More fun watching for white smoke at the Vatican!

He should just have said 'we're going to try not to get hammered' and gone home'.

I just watched hoping this wasn't true, but oh dear, he seems nervous to me

Most frequent word? Frustrating, frustrated, frustrating, frustrating on repeat - he seems like a man expecting to be... ..er....frustrated.

I would also like to know what he means about being 'mindful' it's over two legs (In fact the mention of two legs brought the biggest smile) which he kept on repeating.
A positive coach would interpret that as we don't only have to win but we should try to win well because the 2nd half is at their ground.
I got the opposite feeling from this, and the mention of a clean sheet (there is no away goals rule in this!) that it just means 'keep yourself in it'. I really hope I got that wrong

I hope the players are feeling more bullish.

I've been meaning to post on here though that we do have a really good leader of this squad. At this stage though I don't think the team are looking at SM for leadership. They're getting it from David McGoldrick. The way they respond and look up to him, the vote for Players Player of the Year, his presence and positivity...I think he's much more of a captain/leader figure out there that Matty tbh
I think Didzy wants to really grab this chance for promotion and that gives me a lot of cause for optimism.

What he means by mindful is not to be reckless in the first leg as there is another game it?s standard PR management speak all managers in the play offs know the score you just have to play the media game.

I find lots of managers quite boring in press conferences and the reason is if they speak out it?s all on social media and people not letting sleeping dogs lie.

I get some fans do t like him as manager but take a look at our Twitter page our club are trying to drum up support and positive vibes and you get idiots on there saying ?When you sacking Maynard? it?s idiotic and makes the person look stupid as the club aren?t going to say 3rd June mate !

Dunno about that...depends what's meant by 'reckless' there...

But I do think he means not pushing for as big an advantage as possible in the home leg - and if it's 0-0, 1-1, 1-0 or 2-1 after 60mins, being less attacking than a regular league game, rather than more. Wimbledon would be happy with that and gives them more chance to get on top and score. I suppose we'll see tomorrow.

My cunning plan would be to go out and score one more than them...!!!!

I don?t think he is saying that at all he is probably saying we need to stay calm as a team, fans and management if it?s say level at full time.

It?s hard to really know what he means unless you get him on his own off the record I?ve paid zero attention to what any managers say in press conferences as they mean very little as it is something they are forced to do but probably don?t want to but he sets the team up and the players have to go out there and do it.
