Only issue was the opposition showed no interest in pressing. Of course playing to be the press creates space and as I said not all team will do that and we will have opportunities to beat the press. with the risk that brings, but we will try that no doubt as one of our options |
Watch the first goal on Boreham Woodâs YouTube. It illustrates the effectiveness of how we play when we get it right. The keeperâs position included. Have never been an advocate of âbeating the pressâ or even âpressingâ full stop. Itâs all modern nonsense to me, just find a way of finding areas of the pitch to cause problems.
Itâs a good set of highlights which show how we are adapting how we play. Being able to go into Dieseruvwe when keeping the ball around the area resulting in the second. |  |

Pressing is just another term for closing down, itâs been done for as long as I remember. You donât close down, you allow the opposition time on the ball. |  |

Yeah, and there was nowt wrong with closing down! Itâs the obsession to make it a specific tactic that is focused on so much now that I donât understand. By playing the way we can, it shows what the opposition do shouldnât matter as much. | |

We saw it with Bird and we're seeing it with Mani, a forward with a physical presence who knows where the goal is makes a massive difference. Keep Rodney fit and they will complement each other perfectly i think. There wont be a better strike duo in this league if they both start firing. We have a tendancy to sometimes overplay under McNulty, take a extra pass when it isn't required, that's something that now needs looking at and it probably comes down to mindset. When you have quality forwards they thrive on quick service, a split second pass, a early cross. It's no longer good enough now to ponder the pass and then turn it down in preference to turning around and playing it back to the halfway line to start again. That lets our opponents off the hook and frustrates both Rodney and Mani, a telepathic understanding needs to be worked on in training between our midfield and forwards, put the ball into the box often enough or play it to feet and these lads will score goals.

Judging from what I saw in the friendlies, the delivery from front to back was just a little ponderous, too many defenders needing extra touches to get the ball forwards when often a single touch was all that was required. Now that we have an actual footballer at centre forward, the quicker the delivery, the more the opposing defenders will struggle to get into position to stop him and space for Rodney and others will appear. Stats indicate that 8 out of 10 goals are the result of 3 or fewer passes....If we get early crosses onto the 6 yard line or there abouts Mani and the others will score bags of goals, it doesn't need to be a perfect cross, early and along the 6 yard line is all that is required, too far out for the keeper to be confident of catching it and for defenders of being confident of clearing it , close enough for any headed contact to be decisive. Its the old Charles Hughes POMO.. position of maximum opportunity......the triangle from the posts to the penalty spot..

McNulty obviously uses possession stats as a gauge of the overall performance. I think he values possession more than he does individual flair and a players ability to take on his opponents on a one on one dual. If that's the case then i would like to see him concentrate on increasing the amount of possesssion we have in our opponents half, even final third of the pitch. That increases our chances of scoring goals and also decreases the chances of conceding. Still keep playing our football but play it in our opponents half as the optimum option. Move us further up the pitch and analyse possession stats in the areas of maximum opportunity..
We spend too much time with defenders passing the ball between themselves when our opponents have no intention of coming out to engage them, so what's the point? Its just negative possession for the sake of it and gives the opposition time to set their defence and mark our forwards, it slows the game down and sometimes stops it for no reason. I think Gordon is one of our best players but he's one of the biggest culprits when it comes to turning down a obvious quick pass out wide to Tobi in preference to turning back with the ball and giving it to EEL or Hogan, too cautious. It's one of the reasons we struggled to break down the low block last season, too ponderous and predictable playing through the thirds. Hopefully that will change now but i think players like East need to start coming out of their shell more and drive the team forward from midfield, its a easy option to receive the ball and just offload it back to the centre half or play a sidewards pass, he's much better than that.
How do we react to teams playing the high press against us and pressurising us on the ball, have we learned lessons from last year? We now have the option to go long up to Mani and Rodney when teams do that and turn them around, rather than keep trying to play through them from the back. Switch it around and keep them guessing, we dont need to engage teams when they press us, we can now go long and bypass them. So different options now for Jim, that can only help him, we were too predictable last season. We've got three home games on the spin now, a chance to score plenty of goals and create a positive vibe around the club and the Town. Anybody stalling on buying a season ticket needs to get one bought, the Ogden family have done their bit. [Post edited 11 Aug 7:55]

Its just negative possession for the sake of it and gives the opposition time to set their defence and mark our forwards, it slows the game down and sometimes stops it for no reason.
The point may be:
To allow the players a chance to recover if there has been a number of physically demanding periods of play in a short period of time, especially if the weather is hot. When we had the two game a week and a few injuries towards the end of the season it helps to 'load manage' the players.
To 'manage the game' if we have a lead and are trying to kill time.
As 442 has alluded to it provides the option to go long if the opposition finally do decide to press more. Or they switch and there is space when we start to move the ball quicker.
I understand that if we are not winning it can appear to be pointless and I do think we overdo it, but there will be a method to the madness and it is easier physically to play with the wall than without.
With a bigger squad of players of similar ability and hopefully not two games a week for a large chunk of the season there should be less need to 'load manage' players by negative recycling of possession. |  | | |

I am sorry but anyone who quotes Charles Hughes as a footballing guru loses all credence with me. Adherence to his philosophy is one of the reasons that the English national team was so bad, for so long. Thankfully things have moved on a lot.
Let's merge Beck, Barrow and Bentley and we can see some great football. At least on Saturday both goals were well worked with insightful passing. Mani's first was also a lovely finish. | | | |

Having a rest during a football match shouldn't be a tactic. The way we've played in a lot of games under McNulty's tenure has been like watching a chess match, there's hardly any tackles of note put in and its certainly not been high tempo football. If keeping possession in our own half is to conserve energy or allow players to recover then i'd suggest they aren't fit enough and it needs addressing on the training pitch. We have 90 plus minutes to win a football match, professional footballers should be capable of doing that Saturday/ Tuesday. They dont play any more games now than they used to do and have fitness monitoring, dieticians etc. I'm not disputing your explanation but it maybe goes a long way to explain why the likes of Barnet, York and nearly every other team in and around the play offs ran over the top of us and beat us. It's a weak and wimpish mentality, too soft. Hopefully the two new coaches will have a look at that because against the better teams in the league they out battled us and gave us no time on the ball, looked two yards quicker. York and Barnet at home was embarrassing, men against boys. Southend in the play offs both physically and mentally beaten. Oldham bullied us at home and a negative mindset cost us the win at Boundary Park. No wonder we won the fair play awardđ
Hopefully we have a different mindset this season, both on the pitch and in the dug out. If McNulty mentions budgets or clout again this season he needs sacking and i'm serious about that. The players don't need a manager that is giving them a reason to fail, he was at it all the time last season and it's not what winners do. The players and fans don't want to hear it neither. 'No Fear' used to be the clubs mantra, it needs reinstating now from top to bottom and McNulty should be the one driving that message... 'When we play Altrincham on Saturday we're going to batter them from the first minute to the last and score as many goals as possible, get right in their faces'. You can substitute Altrincham for any club in this division, that should be the team talk for every game, home or away. A simple and easy to understand message for the players.

Perhaps you could remind me of the last time the England mens team won anything?.....The POMO is an accepted fact, most goals are scored inside an 20 x 12 yards box, coaches today talk about the 2nd 6 yard box rather than the 6 yard box drawn for goal kicks but the principle remains the same. Charles Hughes simply turned statistics into a coaching philosophy and the stats show that delivery of the ball into the POMO produces goals. The data is still used at the highest and lowest levels of the game and its logic is undeniable.
Having said that, there is the other side of the coin, the need to protect the same space defensively.

Article from the Times
Charles Hughes obituary: Football boss blamed for English failure
Powerful figure at the Football Association whose âlong-ball tacticsâ were criticised by the gameâs romantics
In 1977 two men of highly contrasting miens were interviewed for the England managerâs job. Brian Clough insouciantly walked up to the steps to the Football Association in Lancaster Gate and turned round to smile obligingly to the waiting scrum of press photographers. Charles Hughes, an unknown former PE teacher, remained unseen, already in the building as the assistant director of coaching at the Football Association.
Neither got the job. Clough went on to win two European Cups with Nottingham Forest to burnish his reputation as Britainâs most brilliant, charismatic and maverick manager. Meanwhile, during the successive reigns as England manager of Ron Greenwood (who got the job in 1977), Bobby Robson and Graham Taylor, Hughes quietly became a much more powerful figure in footballâs corridors of power, whose coaching manifesto of âdirect playâ became a euphemism for predictable and even long-ball tactics that many claimed blighted the England football team for a generation.
A short, balding, bespectacled figure who was once on the books of Blackburn Rovers but never made the grade as a professional footballer, Hughes had first joined the FA as a coach in 1964 and went on to write what was effectively the associationâs coaching manual. In it he argued that 87.1 per cent of goals are scored from five passes or fewer. As part of his high-tempo philosophy he advocated âthe early ballâ to get it up the pitch quicker to areas of the field where goals are most likely to be scored â which he called âPositions of Maximum Opportunity (Pomo)â. It meant greater emphasis on free kicks and crosses than on intricate passing movements and more possession-based play. The value of technical skills such as ball control was undermined by Hughesâs claim that three out of four goals are âinstant strikesâ, such as headers, scored without controlling the ball.
In 1990 Hughes presented his ideas in his book The Winning Formula: Soccer Skills and Tactics, which was based on his video analysis of more than 100 World Cup matches between 1966 and 1986 and games involving Liverpool, English footballâs then most successful domestic team, between 1984 and 1988. Even teams such as the Netherlands, associated with flair, skill and a more measured passing game, scored the majority of their goals from five passes or fewer, Hughes claimed.
In the book Hughes forestalled criticism that he was championing long-ball tactics as a distortion and a clichĂ©. âCritics of direct play say that it is all about playing long balls forward to the exclusion of all else. This is simply untrue,â said Hughes, adding that direct play certainly did not mean âlong, optimistic, inaccurate passesâ.
Yet it was the sentiment, or lack of it, as much as the approach that annoyed football romantics. If PelĂ© spoke lyrically about the âbeautiful gameâ, then Hughes was accused of turning football into a dull physics lesson. He said in one of his videos: âAlthough polished team work is a joy to watch and individual skills might captivate millions, such displays are pointless unless they are a means to a definite end.â
It did not help that the man who rose from the inside to the second most senior coaching position at the Football Association by 1982 had never played the game professionally, nor managed or coached a top club in British football and was never seen attending games because he hardly ever went to any. Slightly provokingly, he responded robustly to criticism in the manner of a smug schoolmaster with statistics to hand to back him up.
He once said: âThe Brazilians canât teach us anything. Their strategy can be improved. Donât forget, they have won nothing since 1970.â Even after the Brazilians won the World Cup in 1994, he doubled down and claimed that far from being the proponents of âSamba footballâ, the Brazilians had adopted his approach. âWhich team do you think scored 11 goals, with none of them involving more than three passes? Brazil,â he said. Indeed, a coaching book by the Brazil coach Carlos Alberto Parreira, Tactical Evolution and Strategies of the Game, clearly plagiarised excerpts of Hughesâs book Tactics and Teamwork.
Hughes, for all his pomposity and thickness of skin, was an amiable figure and was philosophical about being cast in the role as the bogeyman of English football. âI donât hold it against the media,â he said. âThey have been mischievous at times, but I understand that they have to write a certain sort of story about me.â
More fair-minded scholars of the game credited Hughes as an innovator who was one of the first to use the video-based match analysis that today is an integral part of the game. Working with Bobby Robson during his eight years as the England manager from 1982, Hughes set up the FA National School at Lilleshall, Shropshire, which set the template for a network of academies across the country. In womenâs football â an area of historic shame for the FA, which had banned women from playing officially sanctioned football matches between 1921 and 1971 â Hughes successfully lobbied for three female development officers and the first womenâs football co-ordinator, and pioneered Football in the Community programmes in partnership with league clubs and local authorities.
Some of his coaching ideas, such as pressing the opposition high up the pitch to âregain possession in advantageous areasâ, have become standard âprogressiveâ tactics in the modern game. His claim that he was a âprophet without honour in his own countryâ was reflected in the coaches from football associations all over the world who attended his courses, while his coaching manuals sold hundreds of thousands of copies globally.
A good communicator, Hughes also championed the formation of a slimmed-down Premier League on the basis that fewer matches would mean more time for the England team to prepare for crucial fixtures and tournaments. As the project manager of the Blueprint for the Future of Football document, Hughes recommended the formation of the Premier League, which came into being in 1992 and is now the most popular league in the world.
Charles Hughes was born in Clitheroe, Lancashire, in 1933. He was bright enough to attend the townâs grammar school, but becoming a professional footballer was the aim. He got no further than Blackburnâs A team and reserve side. Instead, he studied physical education at Loughborough University.
While doing his National Service in the RAF, Hughes became interested in the ideas of Wing Commander Charles Reep, regarded as the first football analyst, who made notes on some 2,500 games in the early 1950s and inspired much of Hughesâs later thinking about âdirect playâ.
While taking his FA coaching badge in 1964, Hughes had plenty to say to the course coaches about how he felt the game should be played. The FAâs director of coaching, Allen Wade, invited him to become assistant director of coaching. For the next ten years he managed the Great Britain Olympic team and English amateur international side, losing only 13 times in 85 matches.
In 1982 he was promoted to assistant national coach after the appointment of Bobby Robson as England manager. Robson wrote of Hughes in his autobiography: âThere were few better coaches in England. Don Howe [Robsonâs assistant] would back me up on this. Charlesâs organisational skills were outstanding.â
Hughes left the Football Association after 33 years in 1997. He retired to north Wales with his wife Elizabeth, who predeceased him in 2019.
The England menâs team are still waiting for their first trophy in a top tournament 58 years since the World Cup victory at Wembley in 1966. Many would say that the national teamâs approach to coaching in more recent years has made that possibility more likely.
Hughes could claim with some justification that he had helped to start the reforms that led to a more enlightened era at the FA, but he could never resist dry pronouncements, backed up by statistics of course, that seemed to kill the romance of the game. He once described Carlos Albertoâs goal for Brazil near the conclusion of their 4-1 victory in the World Cup final in Mexico City in 1970 â the ultimate team goal from a series of passes that started from the defence and ended with a thunderous shot â as âscored in the dying minutes of the game against a dispirited team from a total of nine passesâ.

Of course, the England team made much more progress in tournaments when Charles Hughes was a thing, didn't they?
We deservedly won 2-0 on Saturday with two excellent goals, one of which was from the edge of the area. Can you not just enjoy it for a change? [Post edited 11 Aug 11:30]

We did and that made the start of the season more than palatable. 11 points (6 games)
We did miss opportunity especially the timid / negative performance away at York and I thought we should have had all 3 points in the home game v FGR.
It would be great to have more than 12 points from 6 this time around.. time will tell.

We did miss opportunity especially the timid / negative performance away at York and I thought we should have had all 3 points in the home game v FGR.
It would be great to have more than 12 points from 6 this time around.. time will tell.
Up the Dale. |
The game when Beckwith was dropped to the subs bench and EEL made a complete horlicks over on his side of the defence which led to their goal. Allowed the ball to bounce instead of heading it. He was introduced from the bench when the damage was done so he wasn't injured. Self inflicted wounds that take some explaining. I might be wrong but he hasnt been on the subs bench since. I have a feeling McNulty will blossom this year with Taylor and Done alongside him, he's through the probationary period now and could well be head hunted if we get off to a flying start. He has the players at his disposal to do that. [Post edited 11 Aug 20:18]
