Really enjoyed that. Couldn't believe how poor imo the management duo were.
At a very shite level, I did pre match / half time team talks for 20 years. But regardless of level, the concept is the same and there are so many different variables and approaches you have to use but it should always be focused on not just eeking out more effort, but tactically adjusting / capitalising on how other teams are set up, what their strengths and weaknesses are etc.
Just balling and intimidating is a one trick that will never have much of a long term effect and that's all they had, along with it all being about themselves (repeated letting us down etc). Thought the way they dropped that lad who had given a lot for the club and looked like he was gonna cry was ridiculously ott
Would be interested in others views who have been in similar dressing rooms over the years.
I was watching the pair of them and thinking back over the people i've played for in the similar mould. Made a career at that level by having good players but adapting a kick bollock and bite attitude. The higher they go, the more they will be found out.
it was a good documentary but bits about it annoyed me. it just seemed bits were scripted in to add drama. such as hiring two sociopaths, having a knees up on a Thursday then moaning about it, moaning about a player going modelling - I don't think we are top of his priorities. no shit, he's got a kid and a mortgage and in a few weeks you wont be paying him at all. the first episode was better, though they never seemed to get that these people have day jobs. then there's the volunteers. just give em a bit of drink money Gary! maybe a nice bonus Gary?! na we'll give em a dinner. great. cheers Gary.
Salford have the type of blood and guts players Karel Fraeye should have been scouting. Not some of the namby pamby foreign shite we've been served up.
Downside is that I'm dreading even more the passionless heap of shit I'll doubtless see tomorrow.
I shouldn't feel like that. Charlton is meant to be a pleasure otherwise what is the point?
It's all about PMA - positive mental attitude. The players have to be stoked up. Unfortunately, Luzon got himself more pumped up than the players. Karel - he looks so laid backed he could fall asleep in a minute. I agree with you Len. Think we're gonna get served another load of passionless pony tomorrow.

To say nothing of a co-manager who scares me even from the other side of the television screen.

That guy has the eyes of a psychopath. No wonder they're playing well, would dread to think of the consequences.
Poole, Hulme and lynch all looked better than what we currently have hahaha
I think that second goal should be a contender for goal of the season. If it'd been scored at a premiership ground they'd have been crowing about it continuously. Scored on that pitch it was little short of a miracle!

Agreed the way he took 3 opponents out of play with one turn was awesome.
Salford promoted via the playoffs yesterday. 2nd promotion in 2 years. Will play in the National League North next year. They'll also be filming a 2nd series next year too

Proper pair of knobs.

I can't be the only one that lost it at that point... should know better after seeing Charlton ignored for years and years

I should know better after 52 years!

I hope our players show as much commitment ,heart and professionalism tomorrow and prove me wrong.
Enjoyment
