Glover delivers the most uninspiring interview yet!

Sounds good that the lads are just 'messing about' in training.

i thought the same, poor choice of words

I have no problem with the players messing about as long as it is with a football. Individual skills and tricks often develop from informal play when players can try things out without the rigidity of formal training patterns.

As long as they are doing the formal stuff as well, then fine as far as I am concerned, in fact it should be encouraged in my opinion.

Wow - that's a very worrying insight into the way things are being conducted behind the scenes.

I do worry about the authority of those in charge.

I’m tempted to concur, FITB

These two are Steady Eddies. They are operational, not leaders. When you leave operational people in charge, it falls apart as they struggle to make decisions or instruct delegates properly. JD and Golver come across as operational. They're probably good at being told what to do and do it well, but I don't believe they, as a pair, can succeed without direction from above.

Agree with this. Listened to every interview with Dempster & Glover and I’m yet to be remotely inspired or feel motivated by a single one and my concern is if interviews are that flat how are they conveying themselves to the team? There was a video from Portugal also which showed snippets of them both talking to the squad at training and it felt flat even watching that.

It’s difficult to put this across in a way that doesn’t seem like a character assassination which I don’t intend for by any means.. it’s fine that they’re like that, there’s times when a calm head is what’s needed, and there will likely be aspects of the role they do well, but personally I just worry about their ability to motivate and I think that’s a big factor at this level. Obviously only the squad will have a true reflection of how they are but it’s just my feeling from what we’ve seen coupled with results.

*last nights result has no baring on this, largely irrelevant.

Imagination often varies wildly from the truth. It is the sister of suspicion and the parent of mistrust.

Some fans have very active imaginations.

People on here didn't like Cox's interviews because of his 'good honest boys' and 'errrmmm'. People didn't like Evans interviews moaning about ref decisions, people didn't like flitcrofts interviews using the galvanised and people don't like Dempster/Glover interviews because they 'lack motivation'

I honestly dont think some will ever like any press conferences from any managers, just don't watch them?

Possibly so, but I’m not imagining that neither of them seem particularly motivating in interviews/videos in training, on the touch line, or that the results aren’t good. It’s just an observation.

For what it’s worth, I always thought Evans interviews were a good watch whether you could believe what he was saying or not. Flitcrofts weren’t too bad either.

I thought Flicker was the most boring person on the planet until I heard Dempster talk. Dreadful.

Yeah... it's clear as day that they're boring as toast mate.

Is that burnt toast, undercooked toast or perfect toast? Is it white bread, brown bread or marshmallows even? Is it spread with butter margarine, jam honey, marmite, Nutella or even dripping? Who said toast was boring?

Well that has undermined any validity you had then Foxy!!!!

He made a simple comment that the players had informal penalty sessions during some training sessions. He didn't say they were messing about in training, he said that they actually were practising penalties more often than the management team were directing them.

It is almost as though people are trying to find the slightest chink in an interview so they can have a go at the management. And then they wonder why we end up with anodine interviews where nothing is said and nothing is risked for fear of some forum expert to dissect it and find fault
