'We would like to add that we have been universally impressed by the people we have met during our dealings with the Club to date. From Board level right the way through the organization, including the Dale Trust, we have found nothing but welcoming, highly professional and thoroughly committed people, all of whom care deeply about the Club and its survival.' From the Ogden's statement
I know I have shared this before but I think investigating a link up with The Bee Network and Northern Rail to provide free travel during a predetermined time period on matchdays could be worthwhile. Especially with the expected season ticket price increase. https://www.brightonandhovealbion.com/club/stadiums/the-amex-stadium/transport/f Brighton were doing this before they moved to the new stadium.
Isn't that the whole idea of total options though if a long ball is the best option at the time take it, other times slow patient build up might be the option to take.
DEFENDING All Academy teams will be encouraged to deny the opposition space and time pressing the ball when possession is lost. This emphasises the constant movement philosophy, especially:
• Run To Retrieve
With the attacking philosophy of overloading central areas, we will look to regain the ball as quickly as possible. In the attacking and mid thirds areas of the pitch we will encourage the players to show the opposition inside, in the defending third show away from goal.
If the opposition play though the press the next phase of our defending would be to recover, deny, delay, control and restrain the opposition’s penetration with the emphasis on regaining the ball.
On the subject of the academy. This is what is on their website under the heading ATTACKING We will encourage all teams to play fast attacking football using the traits of the football club, body shape, soft touches and fast passing. Constant Movement is a fundamental trait of the Attacking play and practices, formations and individual roles are designed to encourage players to:
• Run to Receive • Run to Deceive • Run To Retrieve
All Academy teams will try to play out from the Goalkeeper, who will be the focal pivot of the start of our attacking play, highest pass first, and try to penetrate through the thirds. On entering the middle third of the pitch we will look to create over-loads, utilise rotation and play through central areas. This will also provide a base for balance and security.
We will look to create space throughout our play with multi-movements and support; players will be encouraged to drive and slide, drive and shoot, and the players have the licence to express themselves and ‘come alive’ in the final third where end product is a must.
I reckon if we did attack like that then there would be few complaints.
I saw a video where a coach suggested a drill where the aim is to score a goal but the team gets more points the more passes they make prior to scoring.
Sorry for repeating myself but what some of you want will require a marked change in tactics from bottom to top throughout the age groups. The ethos is 'Possession based' so if JM is given his marching orders the new head coach/manager will be expected to play possession based football.
