holmesfield_owl Posted August 15, 2022 Share Posted August 15, 2022 Do we think the constant ermmmms after every sentence are deliberately done, to allow thinking time? Makes listening to interviews really irritating 😃 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lyn_owl Posted August 15, 2022 Share Posted August 15, 2022 I heard DM has a speech impediment, to me, it seems to be worse when he gets interviewed by RS. He's not so bad when he's on TV. Â Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M42Owl Posted August 15, 2022 Share Posted August 15, 2022 I very much doubt that it’s deliberate. It will be a subconscious action as he’s thinking of his reply. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pook Posted August 15, 2022 Share Posted August 15, 2022 I've been interviewed once or twice on radio, and thought I'd come off fairly well ... articulated what I wanted to say and answered questions reasonably well. But when I've heard them back, I've been mortified by the amount of 'umm's and 'well's that had subconsciously preceded many of my responses.  I can't imagine that it's deliberate. If it is, it's one helluva poor rhetorical device.  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tylluan Posted August 16, 2022 Share Posted August 16, 2022 At least he's not starting every sentence with "100%" which seems to be creeping into player responses. Â Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canterburyowl Posted August 16, 2022 Share Posted August 16, 2022 Really torn on it all, want him to succeed as he HAS done a lot of good at the club... he is likeable, seems to attract players for example, I just feel he is quite limited tactically and not sure he has enough about him to get the job done. I think back to the play off games V Sunderland and all I saw was missed opportunity by not going for it. And as for our defending... well it just never improves whoever plays, and we don't have shit defenders (imo) so the problem lies with the coaching etc. But its the better the devil you know, who the fuck else would we get that bothers me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skamp Posted August 16, 2022 Share Posted August 16, 2022 He knows which players to get. He just can't handle the touchline side of the job. This is where he, and ultimately we, struggle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
