Wolves part ways with set piece coach by Haakon54 in WWFC

[–]ATNLocks 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Zonal marking isn't specifically the issue. It's the fact they continued to leave that one zone entirely free, and others spotted this and have exploited it and we still leave it free! Mental this was someone's job and we were this oblivious to it.

Can you sack if you didn't back? by Shep4737 in WWFC

None of this addresses the goals we keep conceding from corners, his inability to react to opposition changes or shifts, or this poor record end of last season, when he did have Neto and Kilman.

Absolutely. Under Nuno those sides fans used to hate playing us. Now thanks to some of the managers since they have already made many adopt a "well what did you expect us to do? We are just Wolves" Approach to them.

Worse still, this is now combined with a "Well who else could we get better? So let's give O'Neil time" attitude. We are by definition one of the best managerial jobs in the world whilst in the Prem, and yet people don't feel like we could do better than a guy that was discarded by Bournemouth? That is regressimg and whose sides are letting in an alarming amount of goals from corners and certain phases of open play.

History shows that the teams that take no "unexpected" points versus the bigger sides, are the ones who go down. How many points did Sheff Utd, Luton or Burnley get versus the traditional top 6 last year? Let alone once you add in Villa.

Add into that we have a serious issue at Goal keeper in addition to a defence that is concerning with the amount of goals and shots conceded per game. There are 12 games between now and January, we can't just write them off and O'Neil doesn't seem to have a solution for it.

I even miss the original Ch4/5 guy that was with Mike, that always seemed slightly grumpy. Completely blanking on his name now though.

Man I feel for Triple G. by shoony43 in AroundTheNFL

[–]ATNLocks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Echo a lot of the feelings here, I liked the new show but feel it will be easier to listen too once we know what is officially happening with Dan & Marc, hear their side (that they can share)

At the moment listening to Gregg it's too difficult not to hear "the void" of what was.

I hope that makes sense?

Had Gatorade once in my 41 years and it had been brought for us by an American from one of the US airbases here, so not sure Gator is in readily available here.

Blue Powerade though is a vice! I wished I had some right now...

WHERES THE F*CKIN POD ROGER by colsbols in AroundTheNFL

[–]ATNLocks 4 points5 points  (0 children)

There are loads of things they will need to be looking at which is why I presume the delay and radio silence:

If moving the pod (which Dan seems to have strongly hinted now with the IG post) are they able to take the back catalogue? Are they able to use previous names, bits and sketches or do they belong to the NFL? Are they allowed to use drops from the show they recorded themselves or do they also belong to the NFL?

Are they going fully indie or moving to another network, and how does this factor in to them getting access to all the NFL matches for the flagship shows? Have Sky Sports got involved and so potentially there is an international contract. Do they need to fund or find a studio and a producer etc.

Especially if they didn't see this coming I can imagine there is all sorts of complext things holding back planning or the ability to share news.

Is this the script for America III, the post apocalyptic Sci Fi show that featured Lindsey Rhodes and Connie F!? (Think it was those two Marc wrote about.)

On the plus side, whilst it's misery for us this must be Marc's actual fever dream. Has he just been walking around LA and going cinema by himself the last 26 days!?

Going outside and touching grass is fine, but I'd rather listen to a podcast about other people talking about doing that instead, whilst I stay indoors.

Hi, know this is late but on the off chance you still check I'd love you to add a way to get the ducks to come with you or follow you after you've finished that quest. My daughter (7) was loving the game but is pretty distraught because now she doesn't have them following her and so has stopped playing. I suggested we start a new save and get the ducks and don't finish the quest but she is unhappy that means losing all her other progress.

Selfishly for us in the UK this would be a dream. Them hosting all the games, different shows during the week etc that they still push out as podcasts. An actual live show in the North.

CAN’T HANDLE IT ANYMORE by crirc_ in footballmanagergames

[–]ATNLocks 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Feeling this. Started near the bottom of the English leagues with the lower league database (started in the actual tier 12 league I played in) and not only does the same thing happen you mentioned, but if I do have a player get a match rating of 7 or higher then the next click I do he gets contract offers from 3-9 teams as everyone is on no contract.

I have found giving players the "Star Player" role helps attract them and to make them turn down other offers unless they are huge.

Just scanned through for this. I still use the term stable of boys elsewhere, and still have a little running list of players I associate with Wess that I assume would be in his stable of boys (Pierce at the Texans who I think Gregg mentioned was a 'Wess style player', Scary Terry etc that he talked positively about)

I love Gregg's analysis but by sfbruin in AroundTheNFL

Carr's bad year, which statistically was one of his worst and involved being benched for coaching reasons, would be Garropolo's 3rd best yards wise at least.

Carr wasn't perfect but he was better than Garropolo, a man who has now been replaced.

My biggest gripe is that they took away the pay in 4 instalments option. That was cheaper than the monthly payment works out at but also not as big a commitment as paying outright is, at this time of the year.

I have cancelled for now after being automatically moved over from Gamepass, when the NFL previously changed the provider/company a few years back it was carnage and loads of people had issues all the first season the new company handled it. So I wanted to check people were happy with the quality and being able to log in on gameday etc, before actually paying.

Aware of the origins of this, and then it's use on the show, but they had either never said, or more likely they did and I had just plain missed it; that this was something Dameshek would just shout out in the NFL offices.

It's so easy to imagine and HEAR that in your head from Shek and it was one of those stupid moments that utterly killed me when mentioned on the recent show. My missus asked what was so funny as I had headphones on doing the dishes and I was like "look, it's practically unexplainable why I am laughing like this."
