And this point in particular,
What makes a team a unit, what makes this sport fun, is the ball.
Players became players to play with a ball, so let them have it as much as possible. And let's build around the idea of having it all the time. But the ball burns you. Give it to a colleague as soon as you can. Play quick, play simple. And when you lose it - get it back as soon as you can, because it should hurt not to have it.

I had a blog swirling around in my head...and then realised I had written one last season that said exactly what I was thinking.
Guess that's a prime definition of 'lack of progress'...

No, not the referendum – although don’t get me started on that can of worms, I mean the constant disappointment of the national team at… well, the national game. |

As strong winds and torrential rain batter the UK, we enjoy again another wet and dreary winter. Long gone are the visions of a white and frosty Christmas so often played out in annual offerings from Hollywood. |
| Blog | Round Pegs, Square Holes and the Youth Development Dilemma!
at 12:20 11 Mar 2015
It has been discussed at length the pitfalls of round pegs and square holes – a ‘problem’ that appears to have been borne of the Roy Keane era only to manifest itself in Paul Jewell and lately Mick McCarthy. |

Proper preparation and planning prevents p*** poor performance, the seven Ps – a buzz phrase thrown about with abandon and used as a punchline in meeting rooms all over the English speaking world. I have used it myself many a time but what is pertinent and what is padding? |

Michel Bruyninckx is one of only a handful of famous Belgians I am aware of, others of note are Hercules Poirot and the bloke that wrote the Tin Tin books – not a long line of notable achievers. |

I seem to have a predilection for numbers at the moment! My critique of the Cardiff game centred around the obvious training and coaching deficiencies which have become self-evident out on the pitch, so I thought that I would follow up with another piece written purely on modern coaching developments that I am personally aware of – not necessarily aimed at Ipswich Town but equally as pertinent. |
