Tall King Blox Posted December 10, 2012 Share Posted December 10, 2012 Having read about how Albert was allowed to take the free kick last saturday due to the fact that he won a free kick competition on the training ground prior to the game, Well this got me thinking, what other competitions do you think the squad should have on the training ground to improve our dire position and our dire performances on the pitch....over to you, bring it on !

redsquirrel Posted December 10, 2012 Share Posted December 10, 2012 on fridays when they get their pay packets,it should all go in a hat,if they win on a saturday,get it all back,as with a hard fought draw,any dire performances to result in the whole lot being spent on scratch cards and dished out in the stands Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monkeh Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 I could not believe it when I heard it think it was a really good idea, we rarely score directly from a free kick and if there is a compation too find our who the best taker is then i'm all for it, They should hold one for corners as well, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christ on a bike, you could hold competitions for so many things in training! Only person in the club able to take a decent corner; only person in the club to be able to find an unmarked red shirt from a throw in; ability to make a pass to feet from more than one yard; ability to take a shot on goal from open play with your head held up; ability to recognise a goal threat and close him down. We could hold training competitions for all these and call it - coaching!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was where i was coming from when posting this last night, did Baldrick win the "penalty taking" compo ? did the defence as a man win the "how not to mark at set peices " compo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRL Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 How about some cement trapping, any one who can trap two consecutive bags of cement gets a automatic start Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy082005 Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 Why? Other than Davies we have nobody who stands out, I doubt Lewin Nyatanga was involved... A competition sounds childish and unproffesional. By all means....practice them and give them to who takes them best on a regular occasion, but a competition??I used to do that when I played kids football Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'd be a tough taskmaster as a coach! Expecting our players to complete a tough challenge like that. How about a spotting a red shirt contest though. That one would be a particular toughy for Elliott who regularly mistakes white, blue, gold and various other colours for red. In fact I'm sure he's passed to the ref on a few occasions....

glynriley Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 I'd rather see the lads enjoying their football than the heads down, no smiles, no confidence crap we've seen for so long. I can't remember who it was, but I swear at a pretty big club two players played Rock Paper Scissors to decide who got a free kick. Why so serious? Agreed , if it brings a bit of light-hearted relief into the session , wheres the problem ? Besides which , it worked !!!!!! Albert scored a beauty which he probably would not have tried or even taken on another day. Long may it continue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont mind having competitions and a laugh, but I would like to think that our set piece takers will be taken by the best person....and not someone who won a competition in training. Thats all. As for the rock paper scissors....maybe....but you sure it wasnt to people who were perfectavly capable at taking free kicks?? Adomahs free kick was a cracker...but he is hardly David Beckham, I bet he wont score another free kick this season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like a good way of finding out who is best to me (free kicks not rock paper scissors!) as well of improving morale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
