unclej Posted January 9, 2017 Share Posted January 9, 2017 I'm a strong believer in taking steps to put things right when they seem to me to be wrong. Recently I wrote to Keven Phillips having witnessed fourteen consecutive shots from our midfield and center-forwards fly over the bar. The simple advice to him was to instruct the players not to lean back but to put their heads over the ball, thereby forcing the ball to keep low. Things have certainly improved and I am just pleased to have helped. Grant Mccann the Posh boss, on being interviewed on MOTD after his sides spirited performance against Chelsea said his midfielders and center-forwards kept shooting over the bar and this is something he aims to rectify. Although they are placed alongside my third team Millwall at the moment I still made the call to the club this morning and we will see if he takes my advice. Sadly, I find myself at the postbox again once again over Derby's attacking issues. The amount of touches the players are taking in the box, when the trigger should be pulled immediately can be evidenced by the number of blocks we are suffering. Ince is the main culprit. He wants it set up nicely but this is a luxury in a packed box. I've recommended to Mr Philips that he trains the correct things during the week. No charge.

Anon Posted January 9, 2017 Share Posted January 9, 2017 I have a question. I aim all my shots at the dead centre of the goal since that affords me the best statistical chance of registering a shot on target. The only problem is that the opposition 'keeper often catches the ball. What should I do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ninos Posted January 9, 2017 Share Posted January 9, 2017 It was sort of interesting that Mac kept crediting Phillips in interviews - no doubt was aware of the stick he was coming in for Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RamsPolls Posted January 9, 2017 Share Posted January 9, 2017 When I was struggling for goals in Sunday league, I received a letter from @unclej and he said "just put it in the back of the net, it's not hard" Now i'm top scorer in the league with 55 goals in 20 games.

Are you going to offer your help to the baggies after the number of wayward attempts they had on Saturday ? Has Mr Philips told you what he did with your letter?

FindernRam Posted January 9, 2017 Share Posted January 9, 2017 This statement of the bleeding obvious is either very arrogant or taking the Michael big time. We were all taught that at school not that it helped most of us! The genius that is 'arry, once told a new player, foreign with no English, coming on as a late sub to "run about a bit". Now that's proper advice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anon Posted January 9, 2017 Share Posted January 9, 2017 To be honest, this reminds me of the time I saved my mates life. He was having real trouble with alcoholism and I suggested he stopped drinking. Problem solved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I questioned on here some time ago Kevin Phillips ability as our goal scoring record has deteriorated since he joined. People went to great lengths to point out that Phillips is no more responsible for coaching our forward line than any other coach at the club. So maybe just send your letter to steve next time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
