Callum Gilhooley Posted November 10, 2018 Report Share Posted November 10, 2018 I see Liverpool appointed a throw in coach. Why don't we have one.We should be able to afford it with all the extra season ticket money and the McGinn windfallCan we also have a free kick coach , kick out advisor and a corner consultant please .

proudtobeabuddy Posted November 10, 2018 Report Share Posted November 10, 2018 Welcome back Junior. Good appointment, i think lots of small details add up to the whole picture, i haven't sat at St Mirren park this season and thought our team look at peak fitness, in fact i've remarked a few times that other teams look fitter. We're in a position where every game is a battle so if we can maintain that momentum longer during a game due to improvements in fitness the i'm all for it. I'm not a personal trainer so i find it remarkable that so many on here think they know enough to right it off as a luxury. Not a dig at anyone just a general point after skimming the thread.

Dibbles old paperboy Posted November 10, 2018 Report Share Posted November 10, 2018 I'm all for free speech but have decided to stick St Ricky's posts and mentions of his posts on Ignore to improve my experience of using BAWA. As much as I more often than not agreed with most of his posts and found him a likeable contributor as the months have gone by more and more threads seems to have gone off topic on very long tangents due to his habit of reply to almost every other poster and his inability to let faraway post without trying to get the last word in. Back on topic... Junior had maybe 1 good season with us as a player. If we are filling a vacancy then fine, I hope he comes in and does well and makes a positive difference.

Yes, its difficult to know who to believe in this argument. On the one hand we have the top managers and clubs in the world that all use sports scientists, on the other hand the forum zoomers from B&W Army. Guess we will never know who is right.

Interestingly after sinking our Premier League preparation by walking out and going to Dunfermline, he scored a total of ZERO goals for them. Still wonder how much they paid him to ruin his legacy with us? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you reckon any amount of sports science will result in our players being able to pass and control a football or play without fear and panic. I would say that anything spent on something other than these things right now is a luxury. I really cant understand why anyone would disagree. Unless of course you dont understand budgets and priorities. Edited November 10, 2018 by oaksoft Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes its a lack of sports science which is causing our players to pass to anyone but our own players, fail to control the ball and play with fear.

You do realise what i think is not what matters, i don't pay the bills at St Mirren.... I agree with your observation about some of our players and their basic skills but i'm assuming that we can afford it AND buy new players in January. I don't think our chairman is a halfwit, quite the opposite. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You've made a bit of a fool of yourself on this thread, haven't you? Not sure why you can't see it is possible for us to afford a sports scientist at the same time as investing in players who can pass properly. Or maybe you did finally see that and then moved on to posting this nonsense. I think we can wrap this thread up now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sonny Posted November 13, 2018 Author Report Share Posted November 13, 2018 Some of our players do not look fit enough for 90mins - Willock in particular. (I like the guy but he also seems to drop down a level by 60 mins). If Junior can help improve any player's fitness to put in a full shift for 90mins in the Premiership then he is a useful signing.

Nope. That would be the job of the coaching staff. I am beginning to wonder if fans actually understand what sports science is all about.

About 40 seconds in. https://www.stmirren.com/buddievision-content/2338-buddievision-interview-junior-mendes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
