Is 4-4-3 good? 4-4-2? 4-5-1?
It all depends on your players. Often you have to choose the system that fits your personnel. As Rumsfeld would say, you play with the players you have, not the players you wish you had.

I like the idea of the team effectively training twice as much as they are now. If he's a sharp coach and knows what he's doing, this can only be good.
They are full-time professionals after all - morning and afternoon training sessions seems like a no-brainer. Anyway, the biggest complaint the young full-timers usually have about being in Sligo is boredom, having nothing to do. I often wondered why Foy didn't spend more of that dead time in a gym, turning himself into the super player he could clearly be if he was in proper shape.

He does find it hard from chatting to him, hopefully he will get his contract, and he will benefit alot from this structured training.

It seems a bit early to be stating what formation he wants to play without assessing the players first.

I remember when Jim McNally took over, he was adamant that he want to play 5 at the back and pass the ball out of trouble. Poor old Jim didn't last too long. Not that there was anything wrong with his philosophy, but I don't think Jim knew what the standard of the league was, or the pitches. I just hope this isn't deja vu.

Foyzer is looking forward to the new training plan he was already training twice a day the fulltimers would train in the afternoon and then in the evening with the part timers. The new regime will be different all players are going to have to go fulltime and the training will take place in the morning and afternoon, giving the players a better structure and the evening to themselves.

I'd imagine it would be easier to play your diet with the training sessions this way.

what bout the parttime lads? Will they be forced to go full time with this new training system? Could do with mcnamara and ogrady full time anyway.what ye think?
