I'm glad it's not just me who understands this and doesn't think the club are using Chat GPT or asking Alexa!!! 😂

Some people on here are humorously ignorant and subsequently closed minded due to this ridiculous belief.

True.
I bet they aren't even getting a manager. AI will just do it all. Players can just read the instructions that AI has written.

Answering a AI related thread with an AI response. I asked ChatGPT "How should Sheffield united score a goal in football"

Players pens and paper at the ready!


🔁 1.​

Historically, Sheffield United under managers like Chris Wilder have utilized:
  • Overlapping center-backs to create overloads on the wings.
  • A direct style with high pressing.
  • Set-piece threats from tall defenders.
They should stick to what suits their squad, unless the style has drastically changed under the current manager.

⚽ 2.
🧠 A.
  • Use short, controlled passes through midfield.
  • Involve wing-backs or wingers to stretch the defense.
  • Create space centrally for attacking midfielders or forwards to exploit.
🏃‍♂️ B.
  • Break quickly when the opposition is caught out of shape.
  • Use pacey forwards or wingers to exploit gaps.
  • Simple, direct passes to outpace the recovering defense.
🎯 C.
  • Deliver quality balls into the box from wide positions.
  • Target tall forwards or late runners (e.g., midfielders or overlapping defenders).
  • Focus on accurate timing and positioning inside the box.
🚀 D.
  • Take advantage of space outside the box.
  • Encourage midfielders or defenders with good technique to try efforts from distance.
📦 E.
  • Utilize well-drilled routines.
  • Aim for strong headers or knockdowns inside the box.
  • Defenders like John Egan have historically been useful targets in set pieces.
🔄 3.
  • Against stronger teams: sit back, absorb pressure, and break quickly.
  • Against weaker teams: control possession, push full-backs higher, and maintain pressure in the final third.

Who says we need a manager!

Pretty exciting. I'd hope some of the board are invested in medtech and analytics in that area that we can bring in to the new facility. Could also add to the tension between CW and board in that there may be a need to completely rip up the current fitness programme and build something that isn't old school which may mean getting a new sports science head.

I suspect mist clubs above us do this already. We do, to a degree, with those vests they wear. We've managed Campbell using it so not all bad. We need to use it in conjunction with a medical going forward.
 
I just asked "Hey Google, which striker should Sheffield United sign?" It replied "I didn't understand the question. Did you want to ask who is Sheffield United's main striker?"

I didn't say yes in case the answer was Tom Cannon!

So much for Johnny 5's input!!!

So he was watching a Bulgarian target identified by AI. This shows that eyes on scouting is still part of the recruitment mix and should reassure those who thought ChatGPT would be making all the signings.

Do people really think that? Wow, I thought all the Jumbo Dumbo’s were on Owlstalk.

I laugh at the image of Chris Morgan wearing one of those sports bras whilst stood next to Neil Warnock.

I think there's almost an over analysis these days, just as there is sometimes over coaching which takes all instincts and natural decision making away for players resulting in endless pointless pass backs "because the manager told us to." It's why younger players are often so exciting when they first break into a team, because they're raw and inexperienced. They play with intuition. They get some right, some wrong but at least they're not mindless drones.

Tony exactly this. My son was in a pro academy for 8 years and I saw this a lot. Often the lads who I thought were the real deal and were a level above the other lads were the ones released as they didnt tick the right boxes. They were over coached by blokes who were more interested in whether they were tracking back and how much ground they covered in a game than whether they could beat an opponent and open up the game.
The amount of instruction they were given was total overload such that some just froze and almost forgot how to play when in matches. They were too caught up in their own heads trying to remember what they had been told to do rather than just doing it.

I often wonder if this part of the reason intuitive players like Sancho, Lennon etc fail to kick on...their ability is coached out of them. Brooks may be heading down a similar path.
 
Bit of a weird one this. I thought Des would be a cert for DOF. He seems to of been the main advisor to the board.

Hoyland seems to be the old style and thought he would follow wilder.
 

Board who have just replaced their manager haven't prioritised agreeing an extension for an employee they have an excellent relationship with, instead have opted to focus on the summer transfer targets.

Read all about it, roll up roll up!
