It's interesting to see how spending time talking to the players during training both individually and as a group. Loved Kakay being aggressive winning the ball off Chair and then instantly giving it away
Obviously they are going to show us what we want to see here with players looking happy and responding to him but looks a very different camp already to the ones on the recent inside training videos they have shown
Olde school coaches copa mundial molded,s because they know, newer lot some wedge things with white souls because they don’t.😃 Maybe they have wide feet and sunken arches.
After seeing the proximity of the thighs of Gareth I did wonder if he can get into skinny jeans or that that’s not so rock and roll these days.

Didn’t discern much from that beyond GA living his best life, although in that clip does very audibly show GA shouting “TIGHT” as soon as Kakay gives it away. Fundamentals but something lacking since turn of year for sure.
The one thing that partly bothers me about this video, and previous ones and stories we've read/heard, is Les being on the training pitch.
Now, thats not in the context of "oh Les is intefering blah blah blah" you read on social media.
Its more, he's the Director of Football, in a high ranking executive position. It feels a bit inappropriate to have a DoF then milling around the training ground with coaches.
Is that unfair? I'm open to being disagreed on that. I just think of it in the context of my Finance Director getting stuck into the big pile of purchase invoices to post onto the accounting system, its not really what he's being paid to do when he should be working on higher level stuff for the organisation.
Gubbins is a unit now. I have high hopes for him next season.
One thing I love about you Bosh is your absolute undying hopes and dreams for our youth, an optimism that endures despite all evidence pointing in the opposite direction. Never change dude.

Surely it’s a help to ainsworth, giving him a bit of a head start / briefing in players available and their strengths - maybe some personal views (as opposed to instructions) about formation.
…if I were director of football today, I would be there giving a bit of an overview of why I’d observed had got the best out of each player… eg Dickie will thrive in a back three, field can’t play as a winger and Roberts is a lazy [ ?]

Sort of agree, sort of disagree
I’ve had numerous Directors who’ve never set foot on one of sites over the years, totally detached and no relationship. That great when they’re giving you a bollocking or want a fear factor
Others who visit keep us on our toes, build spirit and rapore and also have a good insight on what’s going on at the coalface where we make or lose the dosh.
I’d sooner a balance between the two.
In the case of Sir Les I’d sooner he was wearing the 9 shirt and not behind his leather clad desk
Cherish and enjoy life.... this ain't no dress rehearsal

Les is DoF right. I'd be worried if he wasn't seen on the training field at all levels of the Club. He's directing the football so obviously he needs to know what's going on, and especially needs to be on hand at the first 1st team training sessions under a new Manager. At the least he'll need to ensure the handover of roles goes as smoothly as possible.
As I said on the 'official' thread, this is a smart bit of comms. GA doing coaching, speaking with specific groups, e.g. defenders, keepers, etc, speaking one on one to the 'injured' players. All the things people have been asking for, demonstrated in a 6 minute clip.

I dunno man, it’s one of them… if he never goes down to training, he’s not got his finger on the pulse, hasn’t got a clue what’s happening day-to-day with the training.
If he goes down there, then shouldn’t he be signing invoices? etc etc.
There’s lots of valid sticks to hit him with, I’m not sure this is one of them IMHO.

No. It’s a valid observation.
As I said on another thread, I am not sure that long-term English football fans really do understand exactly what the role of DoF entails. I know that I am one. We have been brought up on such a different tradition.
I must admit that I envisaged it mostly as a ‘desk job’ delegating coaching etc. to the relevant members of [his] staff. Maybe I am wrong in this?

Les is Ainsworth's direct manager.
Ainsworth's first day, and you expect Les to dump him at the training ground and not be there for questions, support, and induction?
Don't know what kind of a manager you are ( would make) but if your idea of bringing on two new employees, is to just dump them at a desk and say get on with it, you'd probably be a perfect example of just how crap British workplace managers are in general.
