PeterTaylor BRADFORD CITY
Peter Taylor was named as manager of Bradford City in February 2010.
Previously, he had enjoyed a wealth of managerial roles, the most notable being taking charge of the full England team in November 2000 when he was appointed caretaker manager for one match, in which he gave David Beckham the captain’s armband for the first time.
At the time, Taylor was manager of Leicester City, having previously managed Dartford, Southend United, Dover Athletic, and the England Under-21 side.
After departing Leicester in 2001, he joined Brighton and Hove Albion, then, with notable success, Hull City, gaining the club successive promotions in 2004 and 2005 and, consequently, a place in the Championship.
Taylor left to join Crystal Palace in June 2006 before spells at Stevenage Borough and Wycombe Wanderers, as well as rejoining the national team for a further three years as England Under-21 coach.
As a player, he made over 250 appearances for Crystal Palace and Tottenham Hotspur combined, and also appeared for Southend United, Leyton Orient, Oldham Athletic and Exeter City.
Players can only run into the next zone if they have passed the ball in there.
What are the key things to look out for technically/ tactically?
Passing technique is a major part of this session, but the ability to find team-mates relies upon players running intelligently into space, making good supporting decisions along the way. Getting forward to provide extra options is essential.
How doI progress the session?
Allow any player to move forward into a new zone, as long as the ball has already entered that zone. We are also looking to create as much space as possible for players to run into and might alter the defensive unit. We would also look to maximise supporting space, for instance by asking midfielders and forwards to stay central, encouraging runs into wide areas.
How would you put this into a game situation?
Use this session on a full pitch, keeping the playing area divided into thirds, but playing 11v11. This means that the execution remains very realistic, making players show for the ball, whilst promoting high tempo forward movement.
