freezer Posted January 5, 2020 Report Share Posted January 5, 2020 Firstly, this is not, yet another, Lee Johnson bashing thread. In saying that, I do feel that he has acquired and excelled his father's skill in using 'football manager speak' to a whole new level. His recent comment about the players finding a "belief buddy", really is a classic and all I could envisage was Woody from Toy Story! Is this really where we are now with our squad, and how on earth do they match up the players correctly to achieve this? Answers on a postcard please. What is your favourite/least favourite, 'Johnsonism', and why? ps You've got a friend in me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

glynriley Posted January 5, 2020 Report Share Posted January 5, 2020 This is a very good question and topicold. I would say that if the forward line have a symmetrical teamworkers and that they can from the first passit of the ball... take in mind the measured beat of a one, two, throo or fido... so that the ball can falollop out to the wingers and a very fine trittly how in a run and drop-kick and carry one and shooting in the goal if they can get by without an offsiger which is known on the ref and don't throw the bottload because he's only doing his best. But, er, it'll be hard on their halfbackers because I don't think they'll get a chance to do a falolloper shooty on account of the front line with their deep joy of, shall we say, an express in their enthusiasm to the first who to clop falollop in the goalmouth. Oh yes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bainsey Posted January 5, 2020 Report Share Posted January 5, 2020 'It was a typical Championship game, if you like. We've got a few walking wounded out there today, and I'll tell you now, this is not an easy league by any stretch. I've decided to give the boys some time off to dust themselves down, if you like, because we need absolute warriors out there. Like Fam, Bails and Tails were today, absolute warriors out there on the pitch. We need the players to be ready to go again, Saturday / Tuesday / Saturday / Tuesday because the Championship, if you like, holds no prisoners.' .

Holden makes me laugh though, because, you know, it's his interfering, it's his timing. Going on about he wants some meditation doing-it's game day, you know. Ooh, what's more important, you Deano, with your meditation, or some points that need winning? Ooh I don't know. Ooh what would Fergie say? I think we know-imagine him going out of the door on game day and Steve McLaren is going 'Where you going, you haven't done the meditation. You haven't done the yoga.'
