blahblahblah 2 Posted February 1, 2014 A fella who knows a few things about winning matches is Alex Ferguson. In an interview to the telegraph he had this to say about concentration.FOOTBALL AND CHESS: "Concentration has always been an important message for me. It''s always the last thing I talk about to the players before they leave the dressing room. Football is more and more like a game of chess, and in chess if you lose concentration for a second you''re dead."http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/teams/manchester-united/5251666/Sir-Alex-Ferguson-Football-is-like-chess-lose-your-focus-and-youre-dead.htmlMaybe it''s time to dig out the chess boards, and get them thinking for a while ?

Juggy 0 Posted February 1, 2014 Solsksjear got his changes spot on today.Wasn''t afraid to make an early tactical change, and then pre-empted the onslaught by bringing on a defensive midfielder.Interestingly Malky also made two half-time changes at Carrow Road and walked away with a point.Hughton has been undone twice by two different Cardiff managers, both making bold early changes to their system.Chess is the perfect analogy.

Graham Paddons Beard 2,424 Posted February 1, 2014 To be honest Blah, I''m not sure that now is the time to be considering our after dinner savoury offerings. Tis true that I do enjoy a nice ripe stilton after my meal , or even a soft brie with a cracker. But quite why CH should consider his cheese board when frankly he should be penning his resignation I''m not at all sure. PS Try the Neales Yard Isle of Mull Cheddar. One of Delia''s favs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jim Smith 2,314 Posted February 1, 2014 He will need to be a managerial genius to keep that lot up. They are utterly sh*t and the fact we''ve dropped 5 points to them this season is appalling. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
