hoxton casual Posted January 8, 2019 Report Share Posted January 8, 2019 i was watching Sky, and they were talking about the effect James Beattie has had as Striking Coach on Che Adams at Birmingham. I think he is the top scorer in our league. Does anyone know if we have one at City and if not why not? I would have thougth pretty essential for an ambitious club?

bcfcredandwhite Posted January 8, 2019 Report Share Posted January 8, 2019 One thing that gets my goat is that many professional footballers are STILL only one-footed. Even in the lowly ranks of the Wiltshire league, learning to use my left foot probably doubled my effectiveness. Ok I mainly played midfield but the principle is the same. The other thing I learnt was not to look at the goal - just learn where it is, because it doesn’t move. Basic stuff but effective. I do t know if ‘striker coaches’ would teach this but they should!!!

Adams is having an excellent season but not top scorer. 8 players have currently scored more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wendyredredrobin Posted January 9, 2019 Report Share Posted January 9, 2019 No need to waste money on another coach, Lee just needs to adopt a shoot on sight policy, tell his forwards to stop fannying about in the box and tell his players to get in and challenge where it hurts.

If Allison was right and had the secret of kicking balls (& not talking them) did he pass that knowledge onto GT and what was the secret?? ) Do our lot know how? ...& how come The Gas have forgotten it since?

I do wonder why Brownhill does not shoot more oftern. He has a vicious piledriver of a shot that keepers find difficult to judge it seems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People may laugh, but Ryan Giggs credited yoga as the reason he was able to continue playing in the top flight for so long. I also used it to come back from a nasty RecFem injury - i no longer do yoga, but it’s the reason I can still play a bit now at 52!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
