Cardy Posted September 20, 2005 Report Share Posted September 20, 2005 'I asked the lads at the break whether they thought they could win it'For gods sake. What does he mean, he asked them ?? Did he not know himself ??What if they had said 'No gaffer we can't win because we are crap' .........Mind you they would have been right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He should be TELLING them they are GOING to win it, and then demonstrating with concise tactical changes exactly how it's going to happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Telling someone they are going to do something or letting them make that commitment themselves is a different thing and I think it was a good way to approach the situation...And what is the point of nitpicking and slating every thing that Millen says? We know he's not the long term boss and he's doing his best in a very, very difficult situation...I was all for Brian Tinnion going but for logical reasons not immature 'hating' for the sake of it...PS. Do agree with the concise tactical decisions bit though... Bridges for Gillespie?!?!?!?!?!?!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gazareth Posted September 21, 2005 Report Share Posted September 21, 2005 Where have you got "hating for the sake of it"? I'm criticising his approach to a half-time teamtalk because I don't think his choice of words is going to motivate any players.Some people on this board are so simple they think that everything is either black or white, and there is no grey area. It's not possible for me to make a negative comment without being a "Millen hater". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
City Exile Posted September 21, 2005 Report Share Posted September 21, 2005 Telling them they will win is sort of Barry Fry'esq.Is it not better to seek to help them believe they are capable of wining the game? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreeing with you bit for you!!)Still disagree with you on Millens comments though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
