Give it to Ron Posted July 24 Share Posted July 24 (edited) We do need and it’s obvious to all it’s a forward and keeper required to take this team forward. We over played it out at times hence Lis getting in trouble with no focal point to hit. A sure the club know this and looking .

V.Johnathan.Wilson Posted July 24 Share Posted July 24 I feel like that last flurry of attacks where Boredeaux hit the post we were expecting the whistle to blow and sort of just lost focus a bit at that moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saint86 Posted July 24 Share Posted July 24 (edited) 2 hours ago, manji said: A study was made recently in the industry and the average attention span of most viewers is 30 seconds. The golden age of music video for example is dead. Companies don’t see it as effective to spend millions on a video when a “ short “ is more effective. Go on YouTube and see the prevalence of “ shorts “ . Hence the rise of Tik Tok. Maybe, but in an industry/sport where people sit down to watch 2 hours with only a 15min interruption, that approach is nonsense imo. I checked on the app and its the same crap there, 30second soundbites. If we take the time to interview the manager, or clips of the players training, show the whole damn thing or stitch it together in one place. There is a reason why the most popular sports journalists are the ones that can provide depth and detailed breakdowns etc., and why clock bait articles from sources like football insider or sports mole get given a wider birth. Club should get this together as there is a lot of interest in the pre season period and their current content provision is pretty poor. What are they going to do with the press conferences this year? Is every single question going to be split out into its own short video, and we'll have 4 adam blackmore videos to find and watch through? or even worse, if the question takes 2minutes to answer are we going to have to watch multiple videos 😄🙄 Edited July 24 by Saint86 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S-Clarke Posted July 24 Share Posted July 24 Feels like Bordeaux gave us a bit of a game, need that in pre-season - only our second game. I don't pay much attention to the scores or results this early on, I may start giving it more of a notice when we play Lazio/Getafe, but these early ones are just to build fitness, so I'd avoid reading anything into them like ''we still concede loads of goals'' ''x isn't good enough'' etc. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slaves of the algorithm. 90-minute football games will die with our generation if we continue to abide 😄😉 Anyway, since I have a healty attention span I search out the longer version of the clips. Make sure you are on the "all" feed on the app. Do not wander on to the "men's team" feed, as it mostly has the short ones. There you will allways find both the long and the short version.

davefizzy14 Posted July 24 Share Posted July 24 (edited) It's still very early in pre season so all about the fitness levels atm.

I remember not long time ago, managers of different teams were sacked shortly after defeats to us in the premier league. But I didn't know that we could cause a team to be dissolved, and their game with us was their last. Can we pick up one or two of their players who was decent in the friendly (and had exchanged contacts with our players thereafter) for free? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lucky escape there it seems! Yep we were, I don't think he caused it all per-say, but certainly added to it. The financial situation in France (TV Deals) have added to the issues though, really clubs like Bordeaux with their history and facilities shouldn't ever be facing extinction - but this is the world we live in now. I think it was a lucky escape, as much as the SISU one was back in 2005 or whenever. Edited July 26 by S-Clarke Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
