screwdriver Posted September 14, 2018 Share Posted September 14, 2018 I see steve's body language position in that still of the video he is doing the dragon. this is a power pose, there is an increase in testosterone and a decrease in the stress hormone, cortisol. Interestingly, even holding a power pose for several minutes before an job interview, and then sitting or standing normally would make the person more persuasive.

Herman22 Posted September 14, 2018 Share Posted September 14, 2018 25 minutes ago, sne said: Starts off by claiming that "the wast majority" of the squad has been away on international duty. I get it to about 10 if you count Suliman. Hardly a wast majority since our squad is 30+ senior players. Always making himself out as a victim of circumstances by exaggerating or making stuff up. Wast majority seem to be the phrase of the week as we also lost "the wast majority" of the team that almost got us promoted last season. "Wast majority" of balancing the books is done. "Wast majority" of squad if fine Speaks about De Laet going out on loan and talks about the players he already has in the RB position, Hutton, Elmo, Bree. Fails to mention the CB Tuanzebe who he has been his choice to play there. He also said we lost 6 players who played a big part last season. Terry, Snoddy, Johnstone, Grabban (half a season). That's 4 players and one of them is a Jan loan deal. You can make 6 if you add Onomah who played very few games and Tuanzebe who arrived in Jan and played 2-3 times. Tuanzebe has returned so can't be included. I watch the press conference just to see what gutless questions will be asked and what lies will be given as answers. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Look, we need to learn to battle with the best of them, it won't be easy, listen, the first thing people will say about a Bruce side is they know how to scrap. We've got to be at the races for sure. We hope Tammy can come in and give us some much need physicality. " This annoys me. We have the best squad in the Championship. The message should not be “we’ve got to be ready to scrap”, it should be “We are going to wreak havoc and fury on [Championship team] the likes of which have hitherto not been seen. The destruction we will leave in our path will be spoken about through the ages. The city of [insert city] is now ours. We shall call it Greater Aston. Muahaha. Hahahahaha. AAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!” Or similar. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
striker Posted September 14, 2018 Visiting Supporter Share Posted September 14, 2018 Watched the press conference with interest. It's a mirror image of around this time last season. Full of excuses again. How many players did Wolves bring in last season Steve? He's really starting to grate on me. Talks about a settled team yet chopped and changed last season while playing players out of position this season. He also firmly states there is going to be a reaction from the Sheffield result. For his sake I hope it's a positive one because I don't know about the owners but I'm getting sick of hearing the same bs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other (lesser?) clubs have embraced the here and now. Having said that, I'm expecting the Brucie bounce back against Blackburn, Rotherham and Sheffield Wednesday. We could (and bloody well should) double our points tally in the next nine days! Look at our opponent's respective team lists, and then look at the team list we (should) put out! I've said before....teams win on grass not paper. I have no doubt about our technical ability.....I do have doubt about our application and work rate and the will to win. coming up against teams that have those things ...we struggle. Ironically, the very things that made us famous in '81/'82.....are the very things we lack. Edited September 14, 2018 by TRO 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although I wouldn’t be shocked if the next manager comes from completely left field and takes us all by surprise. I actually hope you are right. I think safe, conservative, and stable have contributed to this mess (even before Bruce codified it not the field). I think bold, innovative, intensity and drive is what we should have been doing for the last several years. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flashingqwerty Posted September 14, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted September 14, 2018 Name 1 team in the division which jasnt brought in 4 or 5 players. This settling in thing is pure bs. Ive focised on the above, bit 90% of what he said was bs, and had the journos any balls they could easily have countered. Pathetic on both sides. Could i attend a press conference, under the guise of doing an article for VT? I wouldnt let him away with anything! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
