It is, but it's fashionable to rip the p*ss out of it without having any real understanding of what it does. Investing in a piece of cutting-edge technology in an effort to try to discover some marginal gains is obviously a really sh*t idea in the eyes of a lot of our fans. 6 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Capt. Pants 5,008 Posted May 31 'Good to finally see you' Seems like the deal was done a while back. Not sure how closely we looked at alternatives, but matters not now. Hoff doesn't look entirely comfortable with all this media team nonsense and I don't blame him. Riddersholm seems less 'overwhelmed'. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah of course, it was only harmless banter by Cambridge. It just irks me how many people were dismissive of it without any knowledge of its impact. I'm on the fence, as obviously I have no more idea than anyone else whether it has contributed positively. I applaud the decision to give it a try, though! 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That is not the impression I got from what Knapper was saying, he said something along the lines of "we use it for the academy as well, including the little ones"............

In the welcome video he says something along the lines of 'the sessions will be intense - I'm sure the players will get on board with it real fast'. That was in relation to training from Day 1.

Michael Starr 571 Posted June 2 I really like the vibe of him and the number 2 so far. I love the whole project of developing youth with attacking football. It fits our club. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Big Vince 423 Posted June 2 I hope Hoffy realises that possession football will mean instant relegation from the EPL, if he ever gets that far. That, and no £300 million being stumped up by Delia, Wynnie and Mr Norfolk in year one, ensures his doom like all those before him. New era? More like rewind and repeat.
