LocoPal Posted March 5, 2021 Report Share Posted March 5, 2021 Interesting. They are intensively working on a front three partnership here. Kasey very much as an offensive provider/forward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cardy Posted March 5, 2021 Report Share Posted March 5, 2021 Kasey might become the new Bobby at that rate..! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Street red Posted March 5, 2021 Report Share Posted March 5, 2021 Yes at last! Players being drilled any top managers like partnerships working on movement, Positioning, Working on different scenarios in the box ,Working on touch and finishing. Will happen with a defensive line and midfield as well. Finally we can see quality in training. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gmac Posted March 5, 2021 Report Share Posted March 5, 2021 With NP coming in, we might actually start to utilise Simpson and Downing a lot more on the training ground in my opinion. Might start seeing some improvements in the quality of training compared to the hours of head tennis games we saw under Holden. I was unsure about the two staying on after Dean went but hopefully they get their chance. I know they got a bit of stick on here (myself included) but they were never bad coaches just used in the wrong way. With improved pitches, facilities and what looks like coaching I am optimistic going forward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coppello Posted March 5, 2021 Report Share Posted March 5, 2021 Famara’s smile is infectious and it’s enjoyable seeing him celebrate goals in training. He’s my favourite player out of the current crop and we’ll miss him when he’s moved on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pride of the west Posted March 6, 2021 Report Share Posted March 6, 2021 Certainly appears we will be seeing a front 3 of fam, Wells and palmer for the foreseeable. Although out of everyone needing finishing coaching, you'd thought semenyo would have been involved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobbie Posted March 6, 2021 Report Share Posted March 6, 2021 Nahki always looks such a sharp finisher in training. Still think there’s a 20 goal striker in there somewhere Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Port Said Red Posted March 6, 2021 Report Share Posted March 6, 2021 It's interesting that it's Palmer in with Wells and Fam, and yet it was Bakinson who seemed to be getting forward most on Wednesday. Fam looks such a great athlete close up like that, you can see why defenders must hate playing against him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I admit I have no idea about training, but shooting drills like this don't seem to be anything like what would likely happen in real match situation! I remember Daniel Sturridge when in his best form for Liverpool saying most strikers practice easy finishing in training. But he likes to shoot at unusual angles and with little time. Trying to make it harder for him which is more like real match situations. I’m only guessing, but I would suggest that Pearson has picked up on a lack of movement in the box. Something that has bothered me for quite some time. Good movement can make a poor cross look good & vice versa. We are more often than not static ( across the pitch in all honesty! ). Front & far was something I was taught from a very young age, a winger grabbing 2 or 3 goals a season at the the back post etc etc. Going back to the video clips, maybe they are encouraging Palmer to get into the box more. Whatever it is, it’s short & sharp, the more you practice it, the more likely it will happen in a game. COYR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

COYR As you say that drill looked as much about the quick explosive movement, change of direction and an instinctive finish. Also good for the keepers to test their reactions too.

COYR I remember Gary Lineker saying that people calling him a "natural goalscorer" or saying "he was just in the right place at the right time" used to annoy him because he spent hours on these sort of drills. As he said people don't notice when you make the right runs and the ball doesn't reach you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
