Decided to watch a few more clips of lorient from last season to see what to expect

He seems to like to get players forward, most attacks there will be 3 or 4 players attacking the box. He seems to adapt his tactics depending on opponents, teams that press high he seemed to go long from goal kicks and when they sat off them they played out from the back

Drops into a 442 out of possession, they dont high press but will look to.pressure the ball as soon as it goes into midfield

They seemed to play with a lot of energy

I liked what i saw tbh so heres hoping he has learned from the mistakes of last season

I appreciate your interest in how RLB set out his stall at Lorient, but they have different players to us. So what may work for them doesn’t necessarily mean it will work with what we have.

This mysterious monolith was just discovered in a remote desert. Carbon dated to be over 100,000 years old, and built from exotic metallic elements not naturally found on Earth, the monolith is inscribed with a series of messages from the time of its creation. Many of the messages are indecipherable, written in a complex visual language that has baffled the world’s leading scientists and linguists. But atop one side of the monolith that faces toward the North East is a short but poignant message in recognizable Indo-European script……

“Regis le Bris, 2024, you saw it here first.

PS. **** The Mags”

Keep up mate. In a sealed chamber under Gobleke Tepi we found a stone tablet with the inscription predicting SAFC championship winning squad of 24/25 including a tribute to the work of Regis in his first season. It was signed Ancient Alien. There are others for future seasons, but dont want to ruin the surprise.

All the players need to present and put through the medical examinations the club will have to do before the manager gets involved.

In the meantime there's lots he can be doing with the coaches and other staff. I'd hope he's already involved with the 'wish list' of players we could sign or loan, not to mention which players can be loaned out.

After all this time I don't think anything needs to be rushed.

My point was he was adapting his game plans depending on who he was playing. Thats a good sign for a coach, not stuck to.1 way of playing which should mean he will fit the system to the players hes got available

From what i saw of how his team plays i think it suits the players we have currently

Cheers mate. Watched a bit of them yesterday. The lack of high press was surprising at first. But what I did notice was the energy in the team constant movement when they passed around at the back looking to create options and when they attacked they were rapid. Didn’t seem too bothered about opposition having the ball and creating chances so we will have to be patient. Having read a bit more about his ideas seems similar outlook to McKenna at Ipswich. Both say they set the team out to beat that weekends opposition which sounds obvious but means you have to be fluid with your tactics Looking forward to the season now hopefully he brings the excitement back.

have you heard anything about the back room staff he may be bringing

I really like the sound of somebody with tactical flexibility.

he sounds like a proper natural successor to Mowbray tbh.

As I mentioned the other day in the 22/23 season only one team in ligue 1 attempted less long balls than Lorient - that was PSG. Looking across the data he done a very good job with what he had to work with so hopefully coming here with a squad that’s decent for the level we’re at will be of benefit to the style he’s trying to play and the players will flourish under a manager with clear instructions of how we’re to play.

I think if we had managed to poach him in January he would have been seen by everyone as a bit of a coup the perfect fit to develop TMs style of play The relegation has put doubts in peoples minds but I think he seems a good character and I back him to get the fans on board
