Bit boring with no matches. Read a couple of articles that I'm interested what the team think.
Bobby Zamora (long time ago I admit) said he decided to only use his left foot in training to make himself two footed and it worked. Even older, Ernie Hunt said he trained with a tennis ball that meant he could easily bend the larger balls.
A lot of the big continental teams now keep an older member of the playing staff on the books when they are past their sell by date to just play in the U23s. They lend their vast experience to the younger players.
Any worth in trying this with the younger players and an old hand for the U23s?
Cue piss-take replies.

Just remembered the Bobby Gould ballet lessons but will give that one a pass.

And his infamous army assault course that finished the career of Lee Hurst! (No the other Lee Hurst)

Board up the centre of the goal so players learn to aim better rather than slip the ball past the third choice keeper.

In 5/6 a sides if the keeper saves the striker drops out.

I still maintain footballers would benefit from a few weeks training up Coventry Godiva re sprint training

Better off with the Blaze and do some skating. Core muscles are lacking in so many. Unable to balance on the turn. Their general fitness is through the stratosphere.

United did something similar with Paul McShane, he just barks at youth players.

Didn't Bobby Gould when manager play some reserve central league games alongside the team with iysden Christie who went on to Mansfield town after leaving city.

Step forward Maxine Biamou. Joking aside, it's a great idea to have some experience within the u23s to help guide them along a bit. Not a bad gig for an aging talented pro either.

Can you name an example of a players “core muscles lacking” resulting in being “unable to balance when turning”? Did you just make that up?

They usually call them managers and coaches.

O'Hare and Dabo both very fast in straight lines, when having to deviate they fall over.

How long did Cranie stay around for?

I'm not sure that's strictly true, but it did make me laugh.

Conversely I always though of Mickey Quinn and Kenny Sansom as having very low centres of gravity (mostly by dint of their huge arses). Like Weebles, for anyone who can remember "Weebles wobble but they don't fall down".

Maybe that's why there's so much diving these days. The players aren't cheating, but being thinner and taller their centres of gravity are just too high. One for the coaches to work on?

We need some Ted Lasso tactical genius.

Thats what Hilßner and Jobello are for
