Striking Coaches

[Ricey]

This seems to pop up from time to time about our strikers not having an actual striking coach. Graham Coughlan taking striking drills and having PB as our manager who is allegedly a defensive expert, who should take our strikers for the drills? Have we ever actually had a coach who would work with our strikers? I don't remember us ever having one specifically but do you think we could benefit from having one? We have people in roles we have no clue as to what we do surely we need a striking coach as its been noticed as our strikers struggle.

Ian Wright used to part time at MK Dons as their striking coach, don't know why the club don't do something similar. Maybe offer an ex striker looking at getting into coaching that chance.

It's badly needed... Teddy was with the hammers...

When I watch shooting practice prior to a match the need for a shooting coach often crosses my mind. Then reality kicks in. If PB has not added a striking coach to his management team by now, then he's not going to.

Sir Stanley has some time on his hands at the min, since his contract ran out at Talk Sport.

Used his striking skills on Ulrika Jonsson to great effect.

The strikers would love the chance to shoot....our problem is patterns of play which lead to goal scoring opportunities....we do not do this very well at all.

I can remember that Scott it was a open top bus we had a right party on there Damien playing the music with the big speakers and we went on a guided tour round London before the game and all the chinks taking photos of us

Does anyone know if any part-time coach needs to be qualified? Would a Stan Collymore or an Ian Wright (or a David Crown) be able to rock up and do a two hour session with the strikers nowadays without having any coaching badges?

And in return the Hull City 'lads' coach got smashed up in Southend. Can't remember if it was the same season or following season.

That's not funny, in any way whatsoever

I've got so much respect for Stan, talking about depression, and coming out with all his problems and facing them, helping others all the time, and what an honest pundit too.

Not for Ulrika it wasn't.
