    When it works it's great to watch. I love watching teams with fluidity in their play, like the Dutch teams of old. The problems is we are out of form so probably need to revert back to a standard formation, with players holding their positions, rather than say Hume moving Into cm.

    OK, I see things differently and it's clear the majority want TM gone. Some on here and on other forms of social media gave up at half time (if not before)

    That's me out for the night

    Agree with this, Hume stepping into midfield is needlessly complicating things. Sack it off and let the fullbacks just be fullbacks for me.

    gives us so much more of a threat imo and gives help to the wingers who are more often then not doubled up on. Drifting into the middle has achieved absolutely **** all.

    Rooney is just the kind of young ambitious manager some people want at Sunderland.

    Learned his trade under SAF, huge contact list, played at the highest level.

    I'd f uckn die if we replaced Mowbray with him tbh.

    Anthony Patterson: 7/10
    Made a couple of massive saves for us, one just before the equaliser when he tipped a shot wide and then one to keep the score 1-1 when he rushed out and stopped a shot. There was a couple of times when he looked rushed but stepped up when it mattered.

    Trai Hume: 5/10
    Out of position a few times and not getting back quickly enough leaving far too much room down our right, beaten too easily for the chance that Patterson tipped wide. Still worked hard and put some tackles in but not at his best.

    Luke O’Nien (C): 5/10
    Flicked a header just wide from a Pritchard free kick but we looked really ragged defensively as the game wore on and as captain and the most experienced player back there, that’s something he needs to get hold of.

    Dan Ballard: 5/10
    Got a rush of blood in the lead up to the opener, flying out to the half-way line chasing the ball and then a ball in behind left the hosts too much room. Missed an absolute sitter in the second half when he smashed the ball over.

    Niall Huggins: 5/10
    Some good drives up the left hand side but with no end product, worked hard defensively to mixed results as gave the ball away cheaply in his own half at times. Did make a great interception when Millwall were attacking in the lead up to our goal.

    Dan Neil: 5/10
    His passing was fine but he seems to be all over the positionally and has lost his drive going forward, had an effort on target but it was a very weak effort from the edge of the box.

    Pierre Ekwah: 5/10
    Like Neil, looks very subdued and far from the player we saw earlier in the season. Not as sharp and even his shots had less venom on them.

    Abdoullah Ba: 4/10
    Anonymous today, no threat at all down the right. Got up and down the line but easily doubled up on due to the lack of overlapping to help him out.

    Adil Aouchiche: 4/10
    Some neat little flicks here and there but there it was fifty-fifty whether it would find a team-mate of a Millwall player.

    Jack Clarke: 6/10
    Had a good battle with the Millwall right back, without that much joy but kept at it and put in some dangerous balls by the end. One for Dack should have resulted in an assist and then won a penalty late on.

    Mason Burstow: 3/10
    He looked lively when he came on against Birmingham but there was absolutely none of that today, he resorted to the ghost that he was in his previous starts. Just nothing from him.

    Substitutes
    Bradley Dack: 5/10

    Missed a good chance after a Clarke pull back and gave the ball away cheaply on the half-way line late on to spark a Millwall counter.

    Alex Pritchard: 6/10
    Linked up play well and helped us get a bit of control back once he came on.

    Patrick Roberts: 6/10
    Very lively and looked dangerous, put a chance on a plate for Ballard but also had some good interplay with Pritchard but chose to flick back to him rather than to take on the obvious shot.

    Eliezer Mayenda: 6/10
    Only one half chance when he controlled a Roberts ball and got a shot off but that was almost immediately blocked.

    Man of the Match: Anthony Patterson
    Not his best all-round game and the ragged defence late on seemed to effect him coming for a couple of high balls but made two massive saves at important times. Once to flick a shot wide shortly before our equaliser and then another just after the penalty to make a save when Millwall had a chance one-on-one.

    We could well do as West Brom and Leeds will look to play football no sit in and try to counter us or bully us like Millwall today.

    That being said I also wouldn't be surprised if both battered us.

    I want a young, talented, ambitious head coach but Rooney is not that. This is his third job, Derby wasn't bad considering the circumstances but its well known that Rosenior was the brains behind that operation, DC United I haven't a clue about but clearly didn't go well and now Birmingham is a shambles.

    Below is all the workshops, courses and the ‘’Pathway.’’ By clicking on one it will take you through to the product about page and booking page if needed.

    PLEASE NOTE: WE ARE ALL AT DIFFERENT LEVELS YOU CAN TAKE ANY WORKSHOP OR COURSE ANYTIME YOU DO NOT HAVE TO FOLLOW THE PATHWAY IT’S JUST ADVISABLE!

    You can take any workshop or course anytime to suit your needs.

    We would advise every student participating to follow the pathway as we know this is the correct way to learn the knowledge on scouting and analysis. Why? Because following the pathway will give you the correct knowledge and information at each level as there are so many different areas and procedures to follow and learn. We at IPSO have specially designed the pathway to make your learning experience more comfortable and enriching as you progress. You will be shocked as the levels progress the strength of the content does too. Many students have asked the question: Can we go onto other levels before level 1 for example like Level 2, 3, 4 and 5. The answer is YES you can do any workshop or course in any order as we believe students are all at different levels when they participate with us and we don’t want them doing anything they don’t have too. A quick call or email to the IPSO team will give you any answers you need as regarding what suits your needs in were you are now.

    LEVEL 1 FOUNDATIONS & FUNDAMENTALS TID COURSE: Is for beginners and people starting off to learn about the protocols and the basics of scouting & analysis. It’s a self-paced course that takes approximately 1hour depending on the student. It’s based on a computer game theme so you can have fun while learning as you enter the IPSO cup where you have to win through rounds with questions and answers through to the final to gain your first IPSO certificate. It’s fun but very educational at the same time. A great starting point for anyone looking to know what is scouting & analysis all about.

    LEVEL 2 THE WORKSHOPS: This is for the inquisitive student who wants to know what are our courses are like. We offer the first of our series workshops which is called 1-4 series. This is four workshops for the price of three £60 instead of £80. These workshops are very unique as we are giving you a look into our courses, basically the workshops are great samples of what the full courses are about showing you our material, methodology and delivery. We are doing this to show you how strong our material is and if you enjoy the workshops you can then know that moving onto the courses are going to be worth it and value for money, we are the only education provider doing this, if you like what you see great and do more if you don’t then you know you haven’t thrown away your money on courses that don’t hit the spot or are not value for money.

    12 workshops covering BIAS and introductions to Level 3, 4 and 5. Then we have position specific covering the Keeper, Full-Back, Centre-Back, Midfielders, Wingers and Strikers.

    LEVEL 2 THE OBSERVATION COURSE:This is a great course to show students the skills in observation in many different forms and how to look at body language or the unique observations you should be looking for in players or teams. A 3 Hour ‘’Attention to Detail’’ course that covers every aspect of observation in many different ways from the player to the team to the environment wee the games being played. Lots of tips and knowledge to offer here from the tutor’s vast experience when analysing certain situations that can easily be misinterpreted. Deep observation skills and ‘’know how’’ that you need to know when working at youth level all the way up to and around the first team environment.

    LEVEL 3 TID YOUTH SCOUTING TO UNDER 23’S PROFESSIONAL LEVEL:

    This is for students wanting to know about youth scouting from grassroots to young professionals at pro-football clubs. This is a very strong course and probably the most important course of all our courses, because if you get to work at a club or for an agency they will always send you to look at young players first while you gain experience in the scouting and analysis world. It’s a look at ‘’AGE SPECIFIC’’ scouting from the very young to under 23’s football. A vast amount of knowledge is needed when looking for potential, this course will provide this information and knowledge.

    LEVEL 4 FIRST TEAM SCOUTING:

    This is for students wanting to know the procedures and work ethic of a first team scout. This is a big step up from youth scouting as you will learn how a first team scout goes about his job from the day to day working around the first team environment. You will learn report writing, individual player analysis, 11 players at speed and match reporting which are just a few of the areas we will cover in this course. An eye opener that even professional scouts take a lot away from.

    LEVEL 5 MATCH REPORTING:

    This is for students wanting to move into the elite of scouting by learning to create a high quality match report/team assessment. Here we will teach students how to be an opposition analyst the hardest job in scouting & analysis. Here you will learn the way to create and build a match report with an attention to detail procedure. Once you can create reports of quality you will be very highly thought of at a football clubs recruitment department. Not only that but you could use these skills as a coach/manager of a football team in your everyday coaching practice or when you’re running a team from the technical area on the pitch. A great course which will test even the best or very knowledgeable scouts or analysts.

    LEVEL 1 PERFORMANCE ANALYSIS (FOUNDATIONS & FUNDAMENTALS):

    This is for students looking into performance analysis. On this course we will show you a very detailed and interactive course. Specializing and focusing on Team and Player Analysis using the latest. Software and Technology used within the game. You will be shown how ”Performance Analysts” at the highest level work behind the scenes at a Professional Club. You will be shown how top analysts use or maximize the tools of Hudl, Wyscout, Instat and Mertica to the club and analysts advantage. On this course, you’ll learn how to approach performance analysis at the elite level of the game, with a specific focus on the statistical side of the game. The tutor will go through many procedures that you must adhere to when looking to make it in performance analysis. You will be shown standards that need to be followed and the specialist approach to learning the skills that makes a difference as a performance analyst.

    LEVEL 2 PERFORMANCE ANALYSIS (TAGGING & CODING):

    This is for students looking into performance analysis in a deeper and more advance way. Tagging and coding is a procedure of creating a timeline of events that happen in the match you want to analyse. After tagging your match, report pages can be generated and used to analyse performances. You are going to be taught and shown the correct procedures on how to tag and code players in game time. This is a real in-depth course with great detail and new knowledge to improve your performance analysis skills. This will give you an overview of your team’s performance. Generally this is performed by an analyst who watches a video of a match. The analyst will use a Code Window which contains buttons that represent match events at certain times. The Code Window Actions and Tags reflect the events deemed important to the game-plans and strategies put in place by your coaches. Match Tagging can be an essential tool in helping to optimise player and team performances. Analysis and the reports generated from Match Tagging are as individual as the coach using them, there is no “one Code Window or Match Tagging report that fits all”. But by the end of the course you will be fully functional to deliver a professional report by tagging and coding a football match. There will be many other areas taught within The Performance Analysis Level 2 that are not on our Level 1 Performance Analysis Course.

    LEVEL 1 TECHNICAL DIRECTORS COURSE (FOUNDATIONS & FUNDAMENTALS):

    This is for students looking into the knowledge and education of the sporting director also known as a technical director. Here you will be shown the foundations and fundamentals of doing the job which is now crucial in every football club worldwide. Here you will learn the technical dimensions of the running of a football club from building and leading a scouting team to forming a successful recruitment model that creates value for clubs on and off the pitch. This course is designed for people looking to gain experience form lower levels to those actively working in the professional game. And you will learn effective ways to manage your teams within your responsibilities. Gaining a new perspective to lead an effective area of the football club. This is a 4-week fast-paced course. Each module consists of recorded lessons (5-10mins), weekly live lectures, case studies, and discussion assignments on the community as well as insight stories and articles.

    The issue is if we can/want to pay for someone that is in work because the out of work list is pretty grim outside of maybe Potter who i doubt would come and maybe Hasenhüttl but i'm not sold on him.
