Two words: Technical and Sh!t-ref 15:55 - Mar 7 with 2475 viewsunstableblue

For those TWTDers who bemoaned my use of the work technical - watch Coventry, that is technical coaching, and technically trained players. Do you need yet more explanation?

And by the way there is no way in a million years Mick McCarthy would train Ipswich to play with that pace of pass and move and switch. NEVER.

This is a better performance from Town than expected; players are so low on confidence, and yet we had moments there through Bishop, Judge, Wolf and at times Dozzell.

Now to the REF - WTF, four very key fouls against us not given. For the goal and on the edge of the box for Bishop. Absolutely terrible.

Now let’s back the boys for the second half!!

I don't think they're any more 'technical' than us, they're just better managed, playing in a settled XI to a settled system.

It's a go-to word for people who wish to seem cleverer than they are.
Strictly speaking, Sam Allardyce, with all his use of sport psychologists and that 'in-game stats thing is a 'technical manager'. As was Graeme Taylor with his 'percentage football'....

Mick McCarthy wouldn’t have had this club falling into the middle of League One. He’s so far ahead of your technical manager hopes in terms of what he achieved at here at this club that I suspect it causes you physical pain to consider it.

Stop pinning the blame on the only halfway decent manager we’ve had in the last 12 years and start demanding more of the charlatans and chancers who currently represent us.

Football is at heart, a fairly simple game, overcomplicated by idiots.

I do get fed up of people making out that the football was one-dimensional for Mick's entire time here; it simply wasn't.

And there were periods when we played some fine stuff.

I don't know why that gets overlooked. It's one thing to dislike the man but pointless to make stuff up in order to take constant digs.

It's not hard to understand. (For averagely-clever people)

For a manager, technical is having a clear tactical system, playing to players' strengths and working out specific plays and patterns to outwit an opponent. Allardyce was most certainly a technical manager. Taylor was not so much, as he didn't go forensically into the percentage football (like Klopp does for example with his throw-in coach).

For a player, technical is about having the footballing technique to execute any of a manager's systems, e.g. tiki taka, switching play quickly, gegenpress. Natural attributes like pace and power only work for some systems, whereas you are more able to learn and improve first touch and passing abilities, aka technique.

"gegenpress"? The mind boggles!

(from my rudimentary German, I'm guessing that pressing against the oppo high up the pitch).

‘They’re better managed’

Yes because they have patterns of play our last 5 managers couldn’t even contemplate.

The Coventry move for the blast over the ball was pure technical.

If we had hired their manager or the Oxford manager we would be in a different place.

I despair of this board.

The ref wasn't that bad.

He wasn't good but we have had much, much worse.

He was just as shlt for them as he was for us.

I agree with every word but we're in the third division. Some basic competency from managers, coaches and players would be a start.

Oh, I have, but people talking about “Mick McCarthy could never have had us doing this...” need to do one as well frankly.

Regardless, we really now need a manager that gets us consistently competent again. All the cheap point scoring about Ipswich managers/be careful what you wish for/we’ve got our club back etc needs to stop and we all need to be better served by what our football club is offering us, It’s letting us all down.

Anyone can play football like that if the opponents are so badly coached you can just stroll through them. That's not 'being technical' that's 'being better than the other lot'.

He was sh!t for both teams, as were both linesman. Nolan offside for example on his key chance that he missed.

BUT, the decisions he got wrong were of far greater significance.

It was a foul before their goal. And Bishop was breaking into box, it was edge of area and was a yellow.
