CotswoldRed Posted April 7, 2018 Report Share Posted April 7, 2018 Our club would have you believe we check the school reports of any prospective player, as well as the shopping habits of their siblings. With so much emphasis placed on their profiling and analysis, and given we've recruited so poorly in January, while now having a group of players that LJ feels betrayed/let down by, wtf is going on?

A scientific approach has been shown for what it is. Totally hit and miss and costing a lot of cash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CotswoldRed Posted April 7, 2018 Author Report Share Posted April 7, 2018 Just now, Spoons said: @cotswoldred jumping on the boring predictable band wagon ! So, Lee has an issue with the attitude of his players and says so publicly. Our fine-toothcomb analysis can't spot that Diony is an exceptionally poor acquisition. We have multiple players that can't get a game when we are in freefall. I think our recruitment process has serious weaknesses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davefevs Posted April 7, 2018 Report Share Posted April 7, 2018 It’s definitely a big problem. There have been successes, but too many failures. The buy em young and cheap, sell em high, is not being consistently applied. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AshtonPark Posted April 7, 2018 Report Share Posted April 7, 2018 Or is he not actually bringing the players in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lrrr Posted April 7, 2018 Report Share Posted April 7, 2018 No the current philosophy is the correct one and for after LJ leaves whenever that is. January windows are always difficult, I'm sure a big part of the thinking would have been do we need to add much given the squad we had was enough to see us second at the time. You do your main business in the summer and we've generally done good business in the summers so far, bit wiser about next January window wherever we are in the league.

Chicken George Posted April 7, 2018 Report Share Posted April 7, 2018 Blame Mark Ashton. We’ve spent some serious wedge on “ones for the future”. Perhaps next season is the time for some of them to start showing up, since some will be in their 3rd season with us and not exactly fresh-faced teenagers. Will Engvall, Taylor-Moore, Magnússon, Walsh, Eliasson & Djuric be regular and pivotal players for us next season? That’s about £10m there. Or will our better players STILL be those brought in or blooded by SOD about 6 years ago? If all those named above continue to fail next year, then we can start to question Mr Flannel (sorry Ashton) and his recruitment philosophy.

Gert Mare Posted April 8, 2018 Report Share Posted April 8, 2018 Football is a simple game. Score more goals than the opposition. A computer isn’t going to predict how a player is going to perform. Eric Cantona went through a period of losing his head and karate kicking a supporter before ******* off back to France. Sir Alex (Not Alec - as some commentators lazily say and which really gets on my tits) didn’t resort to software. He went out to France and sorted Cantona out with good old fashioned proper man management. If you can’t earn respect from your players there isn’t a piece or computer software out there that is gonna help them, or you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
