You couldn’t make this up- ‘Three of the five stages of the Junior Tour of Wales, which starts on Friday, have been changed as support vehicles would not be able to keep up with the riders without speeding.’ This is from BBC news and states that the cycling event had to avoid 20mph zones as the support vehicles can’t keep up with the speeding cyclists as they don’t have to adhere to any limits!
I don’t pretend to be an expert on tactics, formations etc. indeed far from it but the style of play we’ve adopted for quite a few years just has not worked for us.
If the Köln game was anything to go by, and I only saw snippets, it seems this playing out from the back is going to be on the agenda once again. I just don’t think we are equipped to be successful with this style. We invite pressure on ourselves because we don’t move the ball quick enough and invariably we end up losing it after a volley of passes which we can’t keep up with or sending the ball long and give away possession.
Now, I don’t know if the new additions are going to help, does anyone, but another season of frustration awaits methinks.
It would be good to hear from those more tactically savvy than me on this such as RichardO. And maybe try to persuade me otherwise😬?
Stumbled upon this independently made documentary of the death of George Floyd and it’s worth watching (though quite long). What a travesty of justice and abuse of justice this has been. If you’ve got the time, watch it and you’ll see it in a completely different light if you don’t already.
Interesting programme gibpving a good insight as to how matches are policed nowadays.
However, I had no idea of the acrimony between Sunderland and Coventry due to Jimmy Hill’s delaying of an end of season game which meant Sunderland went down because they finished first and Civ and Bristol City played out for a draw meaning both stayed up. Sneaky Jimmy!
