Guest Posted March 4, 2020 Report Share Posted March 4, 2020 Really like Callum. Seems like a nice guy. Tries his hardest on the pitch. Good that he doesn't go on Twitter as many of our fans seem to hate him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ohhhshauntaylor Posted March 4, 2020 Report Share Posted March 4, 2020 Hopefully COD, like Rowe last week does the pre match press, then doesn’t make the squad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spudski Posted March 4, 2020 Report Share Posted March 4, 2020 Love Jamie Mac interviews...so easy to read. I reckon he's half Italian Anyone who's studied body language will understand. Completely relaxed and comfortable when using hand gestures...not so much when scratching nose, ear, head after commenting. Compelling stuff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, of course they are, they're up against players of equal quality (make of that what you will). There's something to be said about that...all the players are training knowing the game plan. Do it on match day...not so much. And this is where I think we fall short. Many times we hear we train well...start with a game plan, then have to change during the game. My thoughts are...do we have little confidence in our own ability if it's not going so well as in training...which is understandable...but needs faith. Or...we don't do enough due diligence on the opposition and how they play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A set way of playing that is well coached would become second nature on the pitch . There’s partnerships throughout a team that players become used to. If that constantly changes , there’s no cohesion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maxjak Posted March 5, 2020 Report Share Posted March 5, 2020 "Is there a certain lack of attacking fluidity" he is asked................"Not at all, if you saw us in training, the amount of goals we score and how clinical we are" Yep. thats all very well, but the idea is, to do it during matches and not versus the cones on the training pitch!!? A few more shots on target during actual matches might be the way to go? Yeah really compelling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whenever there's speculation on here about what might happen in the next 24 hours you always remind us all that you "won't believe it until it's announced on the official site" - but here you are today personally announcing the next 30 years of Callum O'Dowda's life.

I would be interested if the ‘staff’ came on and admitted lack of creation, lack attacking finesse and what they were doing about it.

citymum Posted March 5, 2020 Report Share Posted March 5, 2020 I’ve got nothing against Callum and I think he’s capable of being a good player. As far as the interview goes I’m afraid I lost interest when he started talking about “our identity” and “the manager’s philosophy” It seems to me at the moment that players are being sent out to sort of back up/protect the manager. Shame that some players then get thrown under the bus by the manager in his post match interview. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Re the first bit - if you don’t persevere you never have any experiences to fall back on / show learning from. Re the second bit, you wonder whether there is an emphasis on looking at what our future opponents do with the ball, and prep for that... but maybe less emphasis on looking at what they do off the ball (when they attempt to stop us). Matches v Millwall, Blackburn, Charlton etc at home have caught my eye in terms of how our opponents have stopped us, more than what they did when they got the ball. 10 hours ago, Superjack said: Is there anything that you're not an expert on? @Robbored cmon, you should be jumping to the defence of your #1 otib contributor 1 hour ago, citymum said: I’ve got nothing against Callum and I think he’s capable of being a good player.

Not a criticism of Callum at all, just imagine LJ talking about HIS identity and HIS philosophy a bit too much and it being more words than substance.
