Pilchards Posted 25 April, 2012 Share Posted 25 April, 2012 I love reading and following the quotes as I teach martial arts, I also know that Nigel Adkins follows the art of war method, so what do you think he will be drilling into them for Saturday? This one looks good for Coventry? "He wins his battles by making no mistakes. Making no mistakes is what establishes the certainty of victory, for it means conquering an enemy that is already defeated." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pilchards Posted 25 April, 2012 Author Share Posted 25 April, 2012 So in war, the way is to avoid what is strong and to strike at what is weak. Batter Coventry in the first 10 minutes by drilling every ball towards a 17 year old CB and watching Rickie put us 3 nil up? :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Posted 25 April, 2012 Share Posted 25 April, 2012 Lambert for a hat trick is only 6/1 on skybet. I got 25s at Millwall! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dubai_phil Posted 25 April, 2012 Share Posted 25 April, 2012 The patient approach All warfare is based on deception. Hence, when able to attack, we must seem unable; when using our forces, we must seem inactive; when we are near, we must make the enemy believe we are far away; when far away, we must make him believe we are near. Hold out baits to entice the enemy. Feign disorder, and crush him. The clever combatant imposes his will on the enemy, but does not allow the enemy's will to be imposed on him.

Applying this to Coventry we should start with the youth and bring on the senior pros for a second half blitz Although it does explain Adkins' doublespeak on injuries Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leslie Charteris Posted 25 April, 2012 Share Posted 25 April, 2012 This one might worry a few on here: "Invincibility lies in the defence; the possibility of victory in the attack." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Applying this to Coventry we should start with the youth and bring on the senior pros for a second half blitz Although it does explain Adkins' doublespeak on injuries I often thought Glenn Hoddle used to employ this tactic, so often we would invite the opposition onto us by defending deep and then we break away and score? I believe we won 7 games on the trot 1-0. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
