I tend to agree.

Moving the ball sideways or backwards can create openings and different angles for forward movement. Keeping possession means we are in control of the play and can try to create such openings.

However where our players were lacking (and it’s not the tactic that’s wrong, it’s just that we have some players who weren’t innovative enough) was the thinking behind why the ball was going back – ie to create openings further upfield – so we needed players then running off the ball further up the park whereas they tended to stop and have a breather, and the understanding that that occasionally, not always but certainly there are times, when a hoof into row Z from defence is what is needed. They seemed to think “Boss has said we should play the ball out from defence to feet”, rather than occasionally just thinking what the correct thing to do was.

Thread has degenerated to a two person duel – locked

The national team’s structure at whatever level will get nowhere, despite the hysteria and false dawns of the gutter press, while the Premier League holds sway with its ever increasing foreign influx and the FA’s dismal failure to truly develop young players to international standard.

Building new facilities or whatever is nugatory (I suspect that word may have now made its first appearance here) if those on the pathway for development cannot gain top-level experince as their Continental peers have done. Our best young players have to play on loan in lower divisions while in Germany and Holland and elsewhere development of home grown talent is prized.

And do you know what? I don’t care. While the FA is governed as it is, the
national team can go and boil their collective incompetent heads.

Rant over (and I don’t often rant on here!).

Alex – I suspect he knew that :S[/quote]

In that case I really don’t understand his post and feel sorry for the time he put into it. :huh:[/quote]

Please tell me you got the “tall order for Crusat”?

Even if you didn’t, please tell me you did so I can sleep easily tonight. ;)

Bruce had Eric Black as number 2, and I think he was top drawer in that role.

A Bruce-Black partnership again would be OK for me.

We could do with God on our side to be honest.

In the past we have had Jesus, Moses and Mohamed.
