Dr. Kucho Posted 6 December, 2018 Share Posted 6 December, 2018 Today Ralph gives his first sessions to the players. What do you think the players can expect? And Pilchards, are you watching from bushes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperSAINT Posted 6 December, 2018 Share Posted 6 December, 2018 Little snippet from the Echo: After returning home in the early hours the squad would normally come in for a gentle recovery session in the morning, but Hasenhuttl has rescheduled it for the afternoon in a bid to get the players a little fresher and start working through his ideas with them. He will then only have more session with the team tomorrow before they travel to Wales to take on Cardiff on Saturday.

shurlock Posted 6 December, 2018 Share Posted 6 December, 2018 It is still striking how quickly Poch was able to convey his ideas to the squad - the change was evident as early as the everton game. Perhaps Hasenhuttl will be similarly fortunate, though unlike Poch, he's inheriting a squad that's devoid of confidence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shurlock Posted 6 December, 2018 Share Posted 6 December, 2018 Didn't Poch have a week with them in Barcelona though? Or was that later on? Think it was after the Everton game and before the United game (where fergie claimed we were the best team to play at OT in the second half).

GGalpin Posted 6 December, 2018 Share Posted 6 December, 2018 Think he was appointed on a Friday & had the Everton game on a Monday. It was the day after we played Chelsea, which I think was a Wednesday night. Barcelona came later as it was FA Cup fourth round weekend and we'd been knocked out in the third round by Chelsea, if memory serves me correctly.

VectisSaint Posted 6 December, 2018 Share Posted 6 December, 2018 Didn't Poch have a week with them in Barcelona though? Or was that later on? Poch also had a team of coaches to assist, it concerns me more than a bit that Ralph H hasn't yet brought anyone in (he is bringing someone soon according to Blackmore) and will have to rely on Watson and Davis to work the team and get his ideas across. Can't see how he can make a huge impression in 2 sessions. Also not sure that he is very defensive minded, which is the area we need to work to improve - I'm guessing thats where he sees his new assistant coming in.

Secret Site Agent Posted 6 December, 2018 Share Posted 6 December, 2018 The thing is, and I suppose I have been in a similar sort of position except building stuff not kicking a ball around, is that you know before hand where you are going and what you are inheriting in theory so will have a short term plan to turn things around quickly, get some confidence back, and start to see some quick results and minor changes for the better, before you can make some bigger, permanent changes. I think he already has an idea on how Cardiff play, how to thwart them, and who to use in the team, and who to have on the bench. Hi target would be to stop them playing. Any goals would be a bonus at this short stage. But I am sure that Kelvin et al already have an idea on what he wanted them to aim for. Plus, I also think that he'll take aside those that lack confidence and give them some hope. He would be a fool not to. The above I have tried in the past taking over failing and dodgy sites. It has worked more often than not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What have these 2 ex-goalkeepers done over the last two years to suggest they are good enough to be first team coaches to the outfield players of a Premier League team??? Davis was promoted from his job in hospitality, without any previous coaching experience, on the strength of the fact he'd just passed a coaching course, while Watson seems to have moved from being more or less Fraser Forster's personal coach to becoming increasingly involved under Pellegrino and Hughes with the the coaching of the outfield players. Pellegrino and Hughes may have been replaced but we are still stuck with the same disappointing first team coaches who failed with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greenridge Posted 6 December, 2018 Share Posted 6 December, 2018 He's only got tomorrow evening with the players for a session before Saturday's game. His focus is on the defence. Not surprisingly. You'd better be prepared to work, both on and off the pitch, if you want a spot in this team! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the big worry, but I got flak for doubting the club legend that is Davis (a journeyman goalkeeper glued to his line for his career). We needed a cleaner break. Hope he can bring in an outfield player coach (not too much to ask surely) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SuperSAINT Posted 6 December, 2018 Share Posted 6 December, 2018 Sims can be recalled in January Might not be the worst idea (especially if he doesn't feature under their new manager). We could bring him back & keep him around if he impresses, or send him back out again to somewhere where he will get more game time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A wise move. Have never understood those pointless hour sessions. Get them in at midday, recovery work and then onto something else, even if it’s just analysis/meetings.
