Stendel Signs - TH had nothing to do with it :shitwine:

[Jeff Resnick]

They trusted Paulo Sergio. We won the Scottish. Have our footballers became more xenophobic in the last 8 years?

Quite possibly. Would be a mirror image of Brexit Britain. I'm sure you'll agree.

[Del-icious]

I don't really care what he does as long as it works.

Going by the story (might be a lot of shite) the players are laughing at it so it isn't going to work. He needs to find something that clicks as we have about 10 games left to avoid relegation, this seems like it isn't the answer (going by the story).

Who knows, we might put on a defensive masterclass tonight so we'll see.

The players are the laughing stock of Scottish football for being bottom of the league they are the last people to be critiquing anyone's methods.

Scotland voted Remain.

[Del-icious]

When Steve Clarke took over Lee McCulloch's shambles he talked about delivering simple messages and doing simple things. Went from bottom of the league to challenging the old firm.

Not sure if ski goggles were on the menu, but I can go check.

And when Stendel took over the shambles at Barnsley and took them back up he would've used his own methods.

Not one of us ken anything about the ins and outs of training so maybe we should just keep quiet and have faith in the guy before falling into the trap of slating the club because the sun keeps posting nonsense articles.

Scotland voted Remain.

I expected and a more holistic approach from your good self there GB. Must say I'm disappointed.

Like it or not, they are the only ones who can keep us up so we better find a way to get them playing for the next few months.

I think folk would prefer we go down than maybe consider Stendel is showing some worrying signs.

ABSTRACT
Introduction: The current study analysed the impact of spatial occlusion training on control and pass accuracy in football. Occlusion was achieved using goggles that removed the sight of the lower limbs and football as it was projected towards the participants.

Methods: Fifteen skilled male football players were randomly assigned to one of three groups; Occlusion, Practice and Control. Participants were required to control a projected football, before passing it to one of two designated targets, while concurrently identifying a series of randomly generated numbers. Pass direction was determined by a directional arrow that accompanied each number, which coincided with the football release. The study design consisted of a pre-test, training intervention (400 trials), post-test and 2-day retention test. The performance was evaluated via three variables: outcome error, control error and number call error.

Results: The results demonstrated a significant decrease in outcome error (p < 0.05) and number call error (p < 0.05) for the Occlusion group from pre-test to post and retention test. No significant decrease was experienced from post-test to retention test (p> 0.05), demonstrating a learning effect.

Conclusion: This suggests that reducing visual information during training may have a positive impact on performance once full visual conditions are restored.

Never mind that, just get someone to drop their keks and we'll try to hit his bare arse with the ball.

If Brendan Rogers did this folk would wank him silly for it.



The story here isn't that The Sun is a rag, it's that some player's think this is funny.

So should we sack him then?

He's not been getting the results we need, we're stuck with the situation we have so we may as well try back the guy in the horrendous situation he's inherited rather than turning on him and getting back to that levein atmosphere.

Do you think we are going to improve players defending enough in a couple of weeks using this method to keep us up?

Quote any study you want, it means fuck all. The only thing that will work is a happy, positive team who buy into what is being done. Pre season is the time to consider player improvement.

BIZARRE TRAINING GROUND RITUALS

[Billy Butcher]

The players are the laughing stock of Scottish football  for being bottom of the league they are the last people to be critiquing anyone's methods.

These players can laugh behind his back as much as they want. They are the ones making school boys errors each week and are going to have their names tarnished with relegation whilst Stendel can at least turn around and say he tried to do something to stop the slide. Maybe time for the players to stop laughing and leaking to the press and instead concentrating on not being out fought and out worked by the sides around us.

Sad indictment of today's society where it's not the underperfoming players fault and the manager has to change his ways for them. Wonder if that happened with Sir Alex at United/any successful manager ever.

Na, too late for that now. All we are doing is commenting on a story and hoping to fuck he knows what he's doing. Players think he's a joke so it's not looking good for us.

You don't think managers have adapted their ways if the group isn't responding in the past?

Stick to lassies football.

This is something to piss about on in the summer to develop players. Not to get results in the next 10 games.

Whapping out the ski goggles and rope with 10 games to go in a relegation dogfight. Not for me.

[CritchSmile]

We're going to feel very smug when we are proven right about the players being shit as they send us down becuase they couldn't handle continental/FORUN tactics.

Or alternatively howabout we just piss with the cock we've got and stay up by any means.

Think that says more about the players than anything else. Guy who is a bit different comes in with new methods to try lift a team of bottom of the league and he is apparently laughed at by the guys he's trying to help.

If they ken so much better why don't they go out and win games on their own terms? Why dont they take it upon themselves to drop a bit deeper or not bomb forward every single time leaving the CBs with no help. If the manager is an idiot then they should go out and show how they can do better rather than giggling at the fact they are being asked to try things they may have never done before. Why is Naismith not taking more control?

I think the entire thing is a load of shite, the players will back the manager and someone who has had his nose put out of joint when levein left is spraffing nonsense to the papers. Look at how Daly and Berra acted to the press, not a big leap to think there are more guys acting bitter like that at levein being removed.

It's clearly only one part of a larger training regime, and being laughed at by a group of knob player's who have been shite for ages before the wacky German boy rocked up.



They are in no position to laugh at anyone. They can begin the journey into buying into what DS is doing by getting into their heads they don't know it all, in fact I'd argue most of them know fuck all.

Some of us said back in Oct-Nov we were sleep walking and heading for relegation and got roundly laughed at. No one's laughing now are they?

Fair enough

[Charlie Kelly]

I think desperate times call for desperate measures, Stendel's sick of defenders making a cunt of things and is trying anything to fix it. The players not buying in is the bigger issue than the training.
