Something needs to change in the coaches box. At the moment, the playing group is a bottom six team at best.
Bad management is bad management

I’m hoping he’ll reset during and bye and we attack the second part of the season with Owens and Windhager in the starting midfield.

Re: Will this re-awaken the real Ross Lyon?
The worrying trend is that this may be the real Ross Lyon
The anomaly was playing a full fit list, picking players that had earned their spot on form with a good blend youth and experience.
V1.0 liked carrying injured players, persevered with stagnant, underperforming senior players that know the role and once you get in… it’s hard to get out.

Re: Will this re-awaken the real Ross Lyon?
To be fair ,this time around is going to be different ,cause apart from enright this is the 1st time for lenny,ross and harvs coaching this group. That said they are quickly learning that certain senior players are not up to it and never will be.thats the reason the club are where they are and it won't get fixed in the short term.skeptic wrote: ↑Sun 28 May 2023 12:18pm The worrying trend is that this may be the real Ross Lyon

When has remarrying the person who deserted you actually worked out?

I hope it awakens Harvs, Lenny, and Enright to stand up to Ross where they see the teams failings.
It would be a huge waste for them to be yes men to RTB.

Re: Will this re-awaken the real Ross Lyon?
11 rounds in 1 pre season to teach them the system you want them to play ,what are you going to do delist/ drop em after 3-4 s*** games. Like i said this is going to take time and like ross said in his presser windy for example was told to go back and work on specific things in his game.membrey had a s*** game last night and billings was average and was injured all pre season.bytel is the only other player putting his hand up and he got injured.Otiman wrote: ↑Sun 28 May 2023 12:41pmWhy are they still playing them, then?nobhead wrote: ↑Sun 28 May 2023 12:30pmTo be fair ,this time around is going to be different ,cause apart from enright this is the 1st time for lenny,ross and harvs coaching this group.

It’s just easier to kick Lyon tho than admit we have **** all up our sleeve who’ll actually make a difference
I’m starting to hope we don’t make finals and if that nets me getter picks and means we cut deeper
“Yeah….nah””

Re: Will this re-awaken the real Ross Lyon?
I think he knows that yelling and carrying on is a thing from a bygone era. That was ok for Barrassi and Sheedy and Parkin and Walls (and even Ross the Boss version 1) but that doesn't work for Gen Zshanegrambeau wrote: ↑Sun 28 May 2023 1:14am Enough is enough

The early results were a combination of good planning, a general buzz around the club with some legends coming back as assistants and very good coaching. Why change that?
All they need to do in my opinion is work out who stays on the list and who gets selected each week

Re: Will this re-awaken the real Ross Lyon?
That's what i am afraid of and that his assistants are either too timid or to respectful to say anything.

You seriously think that Harvey, Hayes, and Enright would be too scared to say anything?
I can see how you'd think that...All of them were chicken on the field

It's pretty well known that lyon has a habit of sacking his assistants. Maybe they stood up to him.

Just like the last few seasons, no game plan can outlast our skills.
Sooner or later our skills are going to kill us.

Re: Will this re-awaken the real Ross Lyon?
You have to wonder of Cuddly Ross is working.
We all heard stories about players being so sh*t-scared of RTB that they did extra fitness sessions in the off-season.
Then, in the first five rounds ,they played out of their skins.
Since then Cuddly Ross has made plain that he's not to be feared after all.
Will talk up the players after a loss.
Won't drop players for mediocre performances.
Will let certain players get away with a visible lack of commitment.
Personally I think the players need to be sh*t-scared again.

Re: Will this re-awaken the real Ross Lyon?
The whole idea behind getting Ross to the club was for someone who set ruthless standards and held people to it.
I've no idea if that's the case inside the walls of Moorabbin, but if cuddly Ross exists inside those walls then we didn't get what we paid for.
