headhunter Posted February 28, 2018 Report Share Posted February 28, 2018 Just reading this off the OS in LJ's post -Cardiff piece and wondered if anyone else takes this to suggest some of the squad need to take a look at themselves? Some have suggested in other posts that the media-hype associated with the Man United and Man City games have led to egos becoming inflated. From the same interview LJ says "I need a team that believes in the style I want to play.....". I seem to recall a similar comment last year along the lines of "a team I can trust". Our last 12 games last year saw us win 6 draw 3 and lose 3 - a repeat this term will put us on 75 points which may or may not be enough for 6th.

Robbored Posted February 28, 2018 Report Share Posted February 28, 2018 When LJ spoke at Senior Reds recently the name David Noble came up. LJ quipped that he had "to do all his running" and said what a very skilled footballer was he then said " if only he'd sorted out his lifestyle out he'd have gone far" So it's not old cliche. It's based on LJs own experience. He's knows that if any player doesn't lead a healthy lifestyle then that can and often does effect their performances on the pitch.Noble was a perfect example. LJ was very frustrated with his team at Cardif not playing the way he expected them to. Maybe his comments about lifestyle is a reminder to them to stay as clean living as possible - not a concept Danny Wilson would have considered........

RedM Posted February 28, 2018 Report Share Posted February 28, 2018 We rarely hear that our players are out on the lash and living it up at nightclubs, compared to the past. Many are settled and have young families, more likely too many McDonalds! Wonder if our loan players living in hotels are suffering, not much to do and eating meals out all the time?

Imagine how good these two could have been if they stayed away from the booze. I couldn’t think of two better examples for staying away from alcohol.

Both Best and Gazza were exceptional in as much they had such an abundance of natural ability that their boozing and in Best case womanising didn't effect their game until they were closing in on retirement. Best at Man Utd regularly didn't show up for training but he was such a gifted player he got away with it. Different eras and attitudes back then in 60s and 70s.

And yet he left it till the 85th minute to bring on 2 subs.

That’s what he was pissed off about. My opinion is that a distinct lack of leaders were out there especially with Pack on the naughty step.

Warnock said it..."he talks a good game" He just isnt that great a coach.

Personally I've seen and heard enough of LJ to know that he has all the qualities required to become a top coach. The issue he has now is an issue that can't be instantly rectified other than with more of it - lack of managerial experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
