Know your limits !!!

Post by Cullercoats zigger » Fri Aug 07, 2026 5:40 pm

I really like the new aggressive style of the new manager
My only reservation is that the players understand the limits you can go in being aggressive but not stepping over the line and seeing red.
I'm sure this season will be just like previous seasons with referees clamping down on physical contact and over aggression at least for the 1st month or so.
If the managers message is stop them at all cost and placing responsibility on a each player in a 1 to 1 situation then I fear we may rack up a high proportion of yellow and red cards.
Let's hope they've practiced playing with 10 men !
As opposing teams get to know our style I'm sure they'll be buying fouls on the back of our reputation.

Think we’ll be an intense hard tackling high press team and I’m all for it. So long as the refs are consistent for both sides. If there’s a 50/50 ball to be won, we need to make sure we win most of them. Up and away the Bluebirds!
