Jerseybean Posted August 5, 2021 Report Share Posted August 5, 2021 Just heard another NP interview in which he said HNM is back training and available for selection and that Joe Williams has looked very good in training. Thereby implying both are in contention for Saturday, although he added that those who’ve been injured need to be reintroduced carefully/appropriately.

Supersonic Robin Posted August 5, 2021 Report Share Posted August 5, 2021 An interesting point for me was Pearson's new approach to home matchdays. The squad are now to meet at the RHPC for a pre-match meeting, before getting the Robins bus to the stadium together. NP mentioned the importance of "arriving as a team" and "getting the preparation right". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supersonic Robin Posted August 5, 2021 Report Share Posted August 5, 2021 9 minutes ago, Marco the red said: My take was that neither Williams or Massengo will be starting Saturday. Kalas not even mentioned when talking about captain, Bentley Bentley Martin mentioned I think it may be Martin, or he may through in a spanner with James. Worth noting that Bentley and Martin were mentioned in the context of players who have been captain in pre-season, with NP noting he was happy with the jobs they both did when in the role. W.r.t the captain this weekend, he didn't give anything away. Quite rightly, NP mentioned that it's more about multiple players showing leadership, as oppose to have the one 'designated leader' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, they all drive their cars separately to the stadium and they've had a decent season! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Posted August 5, 2021 Report Share Posted August 5, 2021 1 minute ago, Marco the red said: We used to do that when I played in the semi pro game - one lad in particular would arrive on time to the base then driving to the ground would always turn up just before kick off, this was due to eating his kebab or Chinese, depending on what took his fancy. Used to jump in Bobby's transit and head to pitch 48 or so on the downs! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last season ended so badly, Saturday is almost a 3 pointer in terms of moving on psychologically. Interesting point actually - I've been considering whether there may be an important psychological aspect to Saturday's game. Would an early goal for Blackpool cause the squad's confidence to suddenly fall through the floor, for example? Given that we've been seen as "a bit soft" over the last few years, I imagine NP will be hoping to make us a bit more psychologically and emotionally resilient. Perhaps the team will respond to adversity better than we've come to expect! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definite leader, just have a feeling it won’t be a new boy with the arm band, but an existing player. Guess there could be a big plot twist, in that Kalas keeps it, but telling media would give away his team selection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You see all the top Prem clubs like city and Liverpool etc doing it and also it looks more professional aswell rather than turning up separately, good idea.

Hampshire Red Posted August 5, 2021 Report Share Posted August 5, 2021 The interview showed us how NP will deal with fouls (in his eyes) be it his players, coaching staff, fans or young hacks. I dont think we got good questions but did like his answers on ledership and the importnace of positive fans (wonder if he ever read this forum after a defeat?) Matty James does come across as a positive and good guy and no-one should pick up footballers for using the 'minumum of 100% effort' as being his level of maths. Got more excited about our teams' chances this season listening to the Bacup Boy than to NP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't Don stop the coach early and get the players to walk into the stadium with the fans usually a couple hundred yards away from the ground?

Bob Thompson Posted August 5, 2021 Report Share Posted August 5, 2021 Seems to me we are not going to get any meaningful information from Pearson on pre matches interviews.Come to that I don’t think we will get much after the match either.
