If you can not stand other peoples opinion you are really not a part of the forum. The irony in this post is off the scale. Anyway on a serious note I hope Dave is well and dealing with the Morrell departure. Looking forward to this weeks visuals Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave strikes me as an egalitarian equal opportunities author so I suspect he's drawn some arrows on some of the pictures, possibly in crayon, possibly using his felt-tips.

Robbored Posted October 15, 2020 Report Share Posted October 15, 2020 There are several posters that I rate highly on here but for simplicities sake I’ll restrict it to three. 1) Spudski 2). Dave Fev 3). Cowshed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Fev 3). Cowshed. Truly illuminating. - On Barnsley, and without an intention to steal @Davefevs' thunder, Totally Football League have an interview with Adam Murray this week. He goes into reasonably unusual depth as to what Barnsley are trying to do with their play this season. As Martin (and presumably Dave) have highlighted - tempo is key word. Naturally we also get a mention. Interview begins at 22:40. In the same podcast there is an excellent interview with Tranmere chairman Mark Palios. Palios speaks in a wonderfully eloquent manner about "Project Big Picture" and the broader effects of the pandemic, and the potential future of the EFL. He's not entirely negative, but comes across as pragmatic and an excellent voice to have in the conversation. This is the first feature in the podcast. https://www.thetotallyfootballshow.com/podcasts/the-totally-football-league-show-extra-time-efl-podcast-project-big-picture-barnsley-tramere/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ooops. TBF that last paragraph in that assessment could be CIty on occasion. Big gap from front to back, not in sync with the press etc. We've got away with it and fixed it in games - maybe Barnsley haven't been able to do that yet.

Ooops. Haha I was thinking exactly that as I listened again on the drive home just now. There's lots of thought going into that press mate! Still, I think he'd be simultaneously glad that you picked up on the high tempo across the pitch and in every phase of play. Personally it seems to me that they've picked up from last season: lots of energy, high tempo, plenty of pretty poor chances, and no striker capable of sticking them into the net. I await your thread but it also sounded to me like possibly some of Struber's favourites were a bit digruntled when he ditched them. Might see a few changes in the squad?

This is a good read on the subject. https://totalfootballanalysis.com/article/scout-reports-how-to-effectively-scout-your-opposition-tactical-analysis-tactics Thanks for the link Spud. I do these previews to have a better insight into our opponents, so that when I watch the game I understand why we might not win 4-0, why x might not have a good game because he’s up against the best player in the opponents team, etc. Its an extension of reading the opposition blurb in the match day programme that as a kid I’d study in the boring hour before the game started. It won’t be perfect by any stretch, but I enjoy doing them. I can’t go into the depths that are suggested in that article, but I do cover quite a few of the areas they suggest, which is comforting.
