In the case of WBA no deal should mean no deal. I'm not in favour of us going back in for any of their players.
Our passing has been pretty woeful at times, but I think it ties into the confidence issue. The players have shown they can all pass the ball in previous seasons so it has to be something other than a basic skill problem.Nonayforever wrote:I would buy Dyche the next set of football management manuals ' how to get your players passing the ball'.
That should leave some change for the next European venture.
The pace of the game seems like it has gone up another small notch this season, which gives the players less freedom and time to make on the spot decisions. An element of self doubt can also cause hesitance that can reduce the time a player has to see and make a pass - or move into space to reduce the risk of interception.
As the lads build up their confidence to previous levels and remember how good they actually are we can expect to see our pass rate improve.
Teaching them how to process information and make decisions more quickly would also help matters.
Here is a list of games that can help with the latter, because it is nearly Christmas and any one of them would make a good present at a reasonably cheap price. And all of them are a lot more fun to play than Monopoly.
Speed and response games

This one has a very small potential for finger injuries, because of the sideways swipe. Replacing the totem with an object that requires a downward grab fixes that. A tennis ball can be fun.
General Teamwork
For general team building I would go with co-operative games like Magic Maze, Forbidden Island, Hanabi and The Mind.
Video reviews for all of them are available at the game site in the previous links, happy shopping.
