Dodds presser comments


Worried me the way he was saying these games were already planned for under Mowbary and that the Leeds game is already planned for to. Seems like nothing will change at all in the way we actually try to create and score a goal and it makes it seem like no matter what happens during or after this weekends game we already know how we will play against Leeds so won’t try to change what we do. He said we know how we are going to play for the next 2 or 3 games whether that’s me or someone else. You can’t hire a new manager and then tell them how to play
I thought he was saying that he was putting into place plans for WBA and Leeds because last time he did game to game and the team suffered. If a new man comes in he can take Dodds’ game plan for Leeds, bits of it, or bin it.

*although he wouldn’t totally bin it, because the new manager will have been hired to play for a certain style
 
Wonder if they are trying to avoid what happened after Johnson was sacked and if their first choice turns them down they are left scrambling and having to do further interviews. Interview everyone in one go and have an order from favourite to least

How detailed are these plans though and how different to TM’s plans? I’m imagining something like:
“Play nice football and give it Clarkey. If we’re losing carry on doing exactly the same thing but mebbes change the strikers round. The End.”
 
He did also say he's made various adjustments and changed things in training this week around shot conversion etc...

"We have tweaked one or two things in terms of the processes.

"We have tweaked one or two things that we have done in training and that has just been a personal preference really.

"I would say the group are down or are flat. I have just tweaked a few things that I felt were appropriate."

"One thing we spoke about with the players was the shot conversion and chance conversion,. That is something we've spoke about and worked on this week.

"For each game there will be changes for each game 100 per cent."
As long as the changes mean we don't see Dack or Burstow near the squad for the next couple of games, I'll be happy. Would like to see Aouchiche, Pritchard, Roberts, Rusyn and Jobe around the starting line up, along with JC of course.
 
Possibly, I'm not sure?

Bottom line is there isn't a black manager bar Vieira I'd want anywhere near our job. That not racism, it's personal choice based on performance.

The likes of Ince, Hasslebank and others have failed badly at our level.
Plenty who could be interviewed. Henry maybe?

Would be tweaking rather than redo from start

No it's not a rule
