Shooting Coach

[Paulwantsapint81]

I have no idea who if anyone currently has this role

Maybe a bit job for the boys but could the current squad benefit from MLT/James Beattie/SRL giving advice/wisdom on how to hit a ball hard past the keeper ?

I’ll volunteer, it would still be an upgrade ✌🏻

Shooting plus overcoming the desire to create the perfectly crafted goal. Just give it a dig!

Yeah we often have it suggested we should bring in Beattie or Ricky Lambert in to teach our strikers how to stick the ball in the net, they'd be wide eyed filled with wonder like an 8 years old attending a summer camp. I've no idea why we haven't done it. Perhaps a suggestion for the @St Louis and the FAB?

(Having looked it up) Beattie is currently a first team coach at Reading, and has had some limited success as a manager in the lower leagues, so could be a good addition. At some point there was a rumour he was joining the coaching staff, but it never happened. Agree on the need for someone to drill it into them that just putting your foot through it rather than scoring some sort of Barcelona style dream goal is best.

I highly doubt that Beattie, Tiss or any of our other previous strikers have some special secret that our current coaches are not aware of. Larin was the league's top scorer before his injury and Azaz has hardly struggled either. Our coaches are generally speaking fine, it's a combination of natural talent and confidence.
