The new manager hunt (was the Moyes thread) only 3 days to wait...

MrsGrey

;ok

I'm just not clear if this latest comment is announcing a totally separate thing (and a radical new approach) to the comment he made some days ago about some of the U23s training with the squad while a dozen or so seniors are injured or on international duty. And there were pictures of that, of course.

Edit: I see from the fuller article on the club site They’ve trained with us every day since I’ve been here because the numbers are down and we wanted to train with decent size numbers. The U23s have come up to Rush Green to train with us and I hope that’s the way it will stay.

I’ve been told about one or two and a couple of others have caught my eye. Really those young boys need to be given opportunities.

I'm none the wiser, really ;lol

'given opportunities' could mean anything ... doesn't necessarily mean he'll give them match time.

I think their combined age is still less than the age of the previous fitness coach.

MrsGrey

I think that the first team fitness coach is very young. Isn't he the assistant manager of the Women's team?

I used to play club hockey, a friend (a defender) said in one match the other 3 members of the back 4 totalled over 200 ;nonono

They were still quicker than our current midfield ;lol

Vorse,
Was that a spelling mistake or was it deliberately singular ;biggrin

Miljenko Rak (born 1947) is a Croatian former long-jumper and fitness trainer. He has worked as the trainer for the Croatia national handball team and with Olympic gold medal winning skier, Janica Kostelić, and football manager, Slaven Bilic.

Ahhhhhhh.... No I see what the problem was! Rak got our hands fit but not our legs!

Bazshuayi

Please note. now Moyes is manager, that I left out any sexist girl talk out of my original posting as '#nice Rak' didnt seem appropriate ;run

MrsGrey

Herb ;ok

I was thinking of this

The winger has praised manager De Carnys, assistant – and first-team fitness coach – Josh Ewens

At least we have a management team who all speak English albeit after a fashion.

grey_til_I_dye

Can't see that makes any real difference, given the international make up of our (and most) PL squads.

What did you think Slav was speaking?

SuzanneClaret

Towards the end.... Hyroglifics. ;wink

Braille looking at our defence this season

I see Man U are willing to let Fellini go on a free ..............

NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOoooooooooooooooo! ;weep

Vorselaarhammer

I was talking to someone yesterday about if the players find it easier to understand English with a Croat or Scottish accent...

grey_til_I_dye

AdMe

I'd be really surprised if that were the case.

Moaninho frequently talks about how important Fellaini is to his squad/team.

grey_til_I_dye

OK

I've seen the story now:

He is out of contract in the summer, and talks have stalled, but the report claims they do not intend to cash in on him in the Jan window, even if they lose him for nothing in the summer.

Moore_than_a_nick

I saw the video of the training session and did wonder if the players would be able to understand what Irvine was saying to them in a strong Scottish accent. Foreigners generally find it easier to understand non-native English speakers than native English speakers with strong local accents. But I'm sure they'll muddle through.

thornburyiron

My comment about all speaking English was made tongue in cheek. I know Slav is multilingual but looking at our bench during matches it looked as if the rest of them were mute or didn't understand what was happening. Something was stopping any communication getting through.

Concentration and ability for some of them at the moment, along with positional ability

IronHerb

Mrs G ;ok

He appears to have gone missing on the updated staff list: -

Mind, no mention of the fully integrated West Ham Ladies. ;hmm

NEoldiron

Cuz, what does Braille sound like? ;biggrin

thornburyiron

Possibly a bit scratchy.

MrsGrey

Herb, the website's a mess (imho).

If you go to the 'Teams' tag, the Ladies team is there http://www.whufc.com/teams/ladies/squad

IronHerb

Saw that Mrs G but no mention under Who's - Who whereas the mens team are as well as under http://www.whufc.com/teams/staff

Confusion if you don’t understand it one bit it’s a language our defenders didn’t understand lol

Interesting article on the sky sports website about Carroll and Moyes.

http://www.skysports.com/football/news/11685/11127353/david-moyes8217-west-ham-hopes-could-hinge-on-andy-carroll8217s-fitness

It seems we play better with Carroll in the side and Sunderland played better with Anichebe in the side.

I do hope Moyes has a plan B for when Carroll doesn't play. Let's hope we're not one dimensional.

Slaven_Cups_His_Beard

Talking of Carroll, he’s just called his new born “Wolf Nine Carroll”

;biggrin
