Acton Red Posted November 4, 2016 Report Share Posted November 4, 2016 LJ appears to be a manager dedicated to improving himself and therefore his team and club in every way possible. I find that sense of mission appealing, and I am so glad he is our manager. He is also an articulate and compassionate human being. His discussion of mental health issues in the professional game today in his press conference was very enlightening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RichW Posted December 22, 2017 Report Share Posted December 22, 2017 I was just reflecting on LJ’s Barnsley presentation, that blueprint has been firmly put in place this season. Great to see a philosophy/‘the City way’ reaping the rewards for all the blood, sweat and tears out into it over the past two seasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roe Posted December 22, 2017 Report Share Posted December 22, 2017 Didn't see this at the time but I find it really interesting. Breaking it down as simply as possible, LJ's base philosophy and tactics are to get as many people ahead of the ball as realistically possible when we've got possession, and the opposite when we haven't. I remember him talking about "creating numerical advantages all over the pitch" when he first joined. As one of the screens brilliantly puts: "Freedom in attack, Robots in defence". Thanks for the bump, wouldn't have seen this otherwise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin Chris Posted December 22, 2017 Admin Report Share Posted December 22, 2017 So, to go back to the original presentation, Joe scored from the “Corridor of Confusion” & Korey scored in the “POMO” - point of maximum opportunity. Who can say Korey didn’t take that! So it turns out Johnson is actually on to something with this philosophy. Long may it continue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Goat Posted December 23, 2017 Report Share Posted December 23, 2017 Thank God someone's found this document at last. We've been searching high and low for it ever since Hecky mislaid his copy. Maybe now we can get the Oakwell train back on track. BTW, you can all do your bit when your strikers wander into the Corridor of Confusion, by collectively shouting "He's behind you!" or "Just bloody hit it!" as the situation demands. Anyway, good luck with the rest of the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon79 Posted December 23, 2017 Report Share Posted December 23, 2017 First time I’ve seen that presentation, looks & sounds very impressive. It’s also impressive to watch at the minute. It is IMO very Pep esque, certainly trying to regain possession within 6 seconds is & hunting in packs. But as we have seen it does take time to implement a philosophy like this & im just glad we have an owner who bought into it. COYR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually had it saved onto my iPad at the time so I could go back to it and see if we tried to go along with that play. IMO even during the awful run we stuck to what he was aiming for, but I don't think it suited all the personnel we had (a certain Cardiff player springs to mind). I also think that as the run went on there was possibly a lack of belief it would work. Many people on here criticised our pre season programme, saying it was just a bunch of weak teams, but one of the players (Brownhill) recently spoke of how that was a factor towards this season. Something along the lines of the confidence that came from it. At the time of the friendlies someone on here brought up about how a nation won the World Cup, having only faced 'easy to beat' nations in friendlies prior to the tournament to build up belief and confidence.

COYR I read once that the unofficial rule at Barca was to win the ball back in 7 seconds. Given that Lee is a second ahead of Pep we can book our trip to Wembley now I think.

Funny you should say that. Recently when watching all his interviews I've started to realise how his personality is very simular to that of his fathers.

It was May and I was buying a suit for my Grandads funeral and there was a Christmas song playing. I actually went to a different shop so they lost my custom that day.
