Re: Northampton away thread

It's quite common for football management teams to break the season down into banks of 6 or 8 games and treat each bank as a mini league with points targets for each game as part of a wider approach to game management over the season. The training and tactical routines can then be focused on the way to approach specific games e.g set pieces, certain tactical subtleties etc

Would be interesting to know if our management team adopt this approach as if they did, I would suspect that they would have this down as a nil return. They would never divulge the targets to the players as would always outwardly motivate the players to win games. If they did have it as a nil return, they may then view the game as an opportunity to try one or two things out. For example, start Linganzi, experiment with Gray and Boco upfront as a pair etc. in what they see as small risk as part of a bigger games management plan.
