Do We Have a New First-Team Psychologist?

[HolmesfieldBlade]

Sheffield United is printing motivational posters from famous psychologists for each first-team player in the home dressing room.

Interestingly, Slaviša Jokanović said after the game that the team 'now believes they can win games.'. Last season will have taken its toll mentally and after the poor start, I wonder if someone was brought in behind the scenes to help a team just relegated from the Premier League, with one of the worst points records in PL history.

Either way, whatever the preparation was for Saturday, seems to have bear fruit as Blades smashed Posh 6-2.

Let's hope this form continues and the 'roster', as Prince Abdullah would say... has turned a corner both technically (with new additions) and mentally.

Contrast from Wilder who said:

“... I’m not bothered in psychologists, do-gooders and lefties”

Yes - I thought the first thing Wilder did was throw out the Atkins motivational posters and replace them with a slogan - “win tackles, win battles, score goals”. Anyone able to confirm that’s true?

This is just asking for trouble. Here's a motivational statement for Norwood: "put the corner in the Blades happy place."

That's what I heard too

Odd he would say that. Considering he put paper on the wall to cover up the pink dressing room at Norwich.

They said norwood couldnt beat the first man from a corner, now he beats the lot of them

Did wonder if he'd been watching Brewster...

Contrast from Wilder who said he didn't care what 'do-gooders and leftists' say.

And yet we put pink paper on the walls after norwich…

Under Wilder we did a number of things that were designed to make the players “feel at home” even at away games, from putting pictures on the wall and floor with the blades stuff

Norwich painted their away dressing room pink and we put newspapers over it. Hence the bit in the chant "He put the paper on the wall."

Couldn’t remember exactly what it was… but we clearly believed that there was something in it…

If they really wanted to mess with our heads they should have given it the full Pride spectrum.

I think sometimes we seemed to be preoccupied with appearing tough and old school when some of the stuff we did was quite innovative

Or just set a scurry of squirrels after Alan Knill.

Not one of his finest moments. He did sometimes get verbal diarrhea, particularly in tough moments.

According to this D Mail article today it says Wilder’s slogan on the walls was “outrun, outfight, outplay”

Sounds good to me… but perhaps CW should have added ‘outscore’ - that would have come in useful last year…

LEWIS STEELE AT BRAMALL LANE: The old adage of studying the league table in the early months is often ignored, and summer predictions are routinely written off very quickly.

I think scoring would have been quite something last season, let alone outscoring!
