Marc505 Posted April 25, 2023 Share Posted April 25, 2023 21 minutes ago, Wanderlust said: I totally get the media training stuff BUT if you look back at the player interviews over the season they're like robots and the number of times they start the response with the word "definitely" grinds my gears. There must be dozens of ways of agreeing with the statement - and the script is there for guidance only, but they never wander from it or express an alternative view e.g. "yes we DEFINITELY defended well, but if our passing had been crisper we wouldn't have turned the ball over so often, so wouldn't have had to defend so much in the first place - which gives us something to work on for the next game" I tend not to watch player/manager interviews pre or post match tbh, as I'm not really that interested. Its not going to affect whether I go or not or have any bearing over my support. But, contact the media team and ask why the line of questions and answers is the way it is, they're pretty open about stuff these days so might actually respond.

Members Lt. Aldo Raine Posted April 25, 2023 Members Share Posted April 25, 2023 Aren't they just saying "definitely" due to nervousness? The interviews aren't really interviews anyway, and has been pointed out, aren't designed to be It's just so the club has some content to upload to their social media channels Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DomRepWanderer Posted April 25, 2023 Share Posted April 25, 2023 Early goal essential tonight, or it could be a long old slog, even though a draw ain't good enough for them, they'll spoil for spoiling's sake, if they can't stay up, try stop us going up.

Burndens Bogs Posted April 25, 2023 Share Posted April 25, 2023 I’m after an adults ESL ticket for tonight if anyone has one going spare? My Mrs fancies joining me & my daughter tonight, but the club won’t sell tickets for the ESL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whitesince63 Posted April 25, 2023 Share Posted April 25, 2023 I know no games easy but we really should be winning this comfortably. I accept they’ll come to play rather than parking the bus which is exactly why I believe we’ll fix our recent scoring drought and pop in at least 3 tonight. Win this and whilst not mathematically certain I can’t see any way we won’t be in 5th spot and playing Barnsley in the semis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm the same, I can feel their unease and I prefer not to watch, but I see occasional interviews on TV with Prem players etc, and it stands out when someone is just talking relatively naturally and not robotically. The 2 that always stand out to me are Maddison and Bamford. They seem to talk honestly and its refreshing. Maddison with his "yeah I played great, give me the ball and I'll score with either foot, I'm that good" type of attitude instead of "I owe it to my fantastic teammates" nonsense. And Bamford over the years talks like a fan with the same frustrations and opinions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TM Trotter Posted April 25, 2023 Share Posted April 25, 2023 Hopeful of a win but these kind of games, where the lesser side still has plenty to play for, are definitely banana skins. I expect a really tough first half, with class eventually to show. 2-0, and playoffs pretty much assured. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ErnestTurnip Posted April 25, 2023 Share Posted April 25, 2023 Absolutely shite these men and worthy of their league placing but they've had 3 half chances already to our good chance. Hope it doesn't end up being a long night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope it doesn't end up being a long night. "on paper" the difference between the two sides is our quality - but we're not playing quality football so far. All well and good making us favourites but that is entirely dependent on us playing our best. If we don't step it up we could be in trouble.

Wanderlust Posted April 25, 2023 Share Posted April 25, 2023 Oxford beating Cheltenham which will incentivise Accy even more. Hope you didn't expect Accy to do anything less than shithouse their way through this game AD - they're battling to survive and you can't blame them.
