Re: Unfiltered
I couldn't watch any further than Embleton's opening team talk.
Good grief.........it was the incoherent, garbled ramblings of a lunatic.
I wonder if he stands on the pavement, shouting at passing cars in his spare time?

Re: Unfiltered
Just watched it, like the reality view of it but every time there's a dressing room scene I half expect "and you can bring ya dinner"
Start as you mean to go on "I'm disappointed..."

Re: Unfiltered
If the boys aren't already geed up for a...err...pre-season friendly against Northampton Town...they'll never be.
The club seriously needs to bin this idea off sharpish. Too many people have watched too much Dream Team and expect these sorts of things to be like Al Pacino in Any Given Sunday so anything less and it'll just be yet another stick to beat Ross with.

Re: Unfiltered
Don’t think Ross said too much wrong and I don’t think he’s the right man for us. Agree that these are bit silly, especially during the season. I assume they won’t involve the dressing room then though.

Re: Unfiltered
Do you not? Why?
So below is essentially what they showed him saying. I'd doubt they'd show detailed tactical words or any specific one on one conversations, so it isn't surprising our young media team will just focus on something generic for a very short glimpse at a pre season friendly.
If you think this is the extent of the words RE gave them on the day or in the lead up then you're just being silly for the sake of it. Embleton said;
'Help the man next to you, help the man in front of you, get control on the people around you so we've got that consistent message. That consistent work to get after teams when we haven't got possession. Then, it gives us an opportunity to get hold of it. And we know where we are going and what our structure looks like as a team.
From today this is where it really, really starts to ramp up. A focus in what we do. Setting our levels of expectation. From today, we don't just settle for anything. We're going to keep striving for more and more and more to try and achieve more and more every time we go on the pitch, every time we go out for training, in order to become more closer to where we want to get to'.
Again, I'm hardly claiming this is Shakespearean - but can we give the guy a break for 10 seconds?!

People seem to think team talks should be lots of shouting and aggression from the manager when they’re more about giving players information. And the club can only include a limited amount of that in these videos as revealing tactical details is obvs a no-go
Fans have always wanted more insights into behind the scenes stuff, now they’re moaning when they get it

Re: Unfiltered
It's difficult to offer an opinion different to your own here because no matter what anyone says or suggests I think you've made up your mind on this, but I heard that and read that as essentially that they are working in two's and three's to press as opposed to first man close, second man cover and a reminder about holding each other to account. Seems like, in this very short clip of a 15 second moment in a pre-match team talk before a behind closed doors friendly that he was simply talking about workrate and the way in which they'll work. It's not Maximus from Gladiator, but lets not make out that this clip shows him to be some John Smith's manager or owt. It's really not that big a deal.
But as I say, the format needs to go. It does no one any favours.
