East Londoner Posted March 19, 2022 Report Share Posted March 19, 2022 Thought this might get lost in the match day thread but does anyone know if the club uses or has used a sports psychologist? I’ve thought for years O’Dowda has been crying out for one (not literally of course) and lots of the last minute and injury time goals we concede suggest that others in the squad might do too as they’ve been a mental thing like getting deeper and deeper or making really poor decisions 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

22A Posted March 19, 2022 Report Share Posted March 19, 2022 We needed one in August. Home to Blackpool, winning and conceded a stoppage time equaliser. A few nights later away to FGR, winning and conceded a stoppage time equaliser. That was when the rot set in; the players were then convinced they are incapable of winning.

No one listens How do you know they don’t? Id almost guarantee they do, whether the team specifically has one or many players just speak to someone. Tyrone Mings came out and said he speaks to his just before every game, I think it’s pretty common these days Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HappyClapper Posted March 19, 2022 Report Share Posted March 19, 2022 (edited) There is definitely at least one psychologist employed by the club. They usually work with individual players but I don’t know how many ( if any) of the first team squad he sees.

Kibs Posted March 19, 2022 Report Share Posted March 19, 2022 I was under the impression that it was pretty common practice at most high level professional sports clubs. Be very surprised if we didn’t use one. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dredd Posted March 19, 2022 Report Share Posted March 19, 2022 I agree. Weird how we can defend reasonably well all game but as soon as the board goes up we regularly turn into a bag of nerves and concede. It has to be a mental thing now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silvio Dante Posted March 19, 2022 Report Share Posted March 19, 2022 I’ve just put similar to this on another thread, but people who think the last minute goal today was anything to do with “psychology” are wrong. We displayed exactly the right behaviours post 90 minutes. - Free kick given. Don’t flood forward. Check. - Taking free kick. Wells and Martin try and keep in corner. Check. - Pring gets ball with chance to drive into box. Goes for corner. Check. I’d agree in prior games on the 90+ front we have displayed the wrong behaviours and looked scared. That didn’t happen today, and it was pure and simple, unlucky. People tying it to psychology are, ironically, amateur psychologists. 9 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

richyy66 Posted March 19, 2022 Report Share Posted March 19, 2022 I used reverse physiology on the drive home. I I imagined we were 2-1 down with 20 seconds to go and bagged a last kick of the game equaliser and picked up a 2-2 point against s team I expected us to get tanked by. It worked for me. Can enjoy my Saturday night now COYR 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If she feels so strongly about it, raise it with the club, OTIB can’t do anything about it. From the posts from her, she appears to be a strong character, knows her own mind significantly enough to maybe feel that she could raise it with the club. Hence why not raise it with the club. As Harry has found, the current set up at the club is no longer the closed shop it was under Ashton, and Gould is very approachable and open. 8 minutes ago, JoeAman08 said: Some spreadsheets don’t make him right or wrong.

I remember when dave was first posting on here now it is like he is some mecca of football information. If he was that good the club would employ him and we would not be in the mess we are in. Hell other day he said he is impressed with Gould. **** me we don‘t think Bristol City’s CEO can spout some shit to some basic “fanalyst?” The club is a mess and davefevs trying to bully other posters ain‘T gonna fly with me.
