Scottish Mag 3 Posted March 26, 2006 Share Posted March 26, 2006 Under-fire Newcastle United defender Jean-Alain Boumsong may see a shrink in a bid to rebuild his battered confidence. Caretaker boss Glenn Roeder will consider using a sports psychologist to try to cut out the errors in Boumsong's game. The French international defender returns to the Newcastle squad today for the trip to Charlton following a one-match suspension, earned by the latest of many high-profile blunders. But Boumsong - who cost the Magpies a hefty £8.5 million - faces a huge task to regain the confidence of Newcastle fans and fellow players alike . . . And the appointment of a "mind coach" to help in that task is a strong possibility. "I am a modern day thinking coach or manager and I would not be against that at all," said Roeder. "Psychology is very important these days, more so because every generation is not as strong as the old generation. "I genuinely believe that, and that is why sports psychology has come into sport - not just football." Roeder is also mindful that Boumsong has played on this season despite worries over the health of his son and his wife, who is pregnant. But the caretaker boss added: "Jean would want the opportunity to show not only our supporters, but also the football public and his critics, that he can perform well consistently."

TheInspiration 1 Posted March 26, 2006 Share Posted March 26, 2006 He must feel really worried when he comes to games. He's really got to strengthen, because he's lack of confidence just helps him make mistakes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jusoda Kid 1 Posted March 26, 2006 Share Posted March 26, 2006 Be easier just to get rid, it's not just mentally he's inept. He shouldn't be playing football - fact, makes ameobi look like a natural Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gemmill 34462 Posted March 26, 2006 Share Posted March 26, 2006 He's both physically and mentally weak then. Great. We need to get rid tbh because I can't see him ever improving as long as he's here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, I reckon Boumsong might be part of a Quantum Leap body snatching. Only it's a dyspraxic agoraphobic woman that's playing in his body rather than that Sam bloke.

deathwish 0 Posted March 26, 2006 Share Posted March 26, 2006 He is dreadfully low on confidence. I would like him to be a good player for us, but unfortunately it isnt going to happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest alex Posted March 27, 2006 Share Posted March 27, 2006 Is the shrink going to teach him how to defend, head a football etc. like? FFS, more bollocks to cover the fact he's not good enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Kenneth Noisewater 0 Posted March 27, 2006 Share Posted March 27, 2006 Kilcline did a job for us. Someone of that ilk, an experienced old head to come in and steady the nerves at the back might be just what we need. If they look like a Hells Angel, all the better.

Optimistic Nut 9 Posted March 27, 2006 Share Posted March 27, 2006 Difference between an old head coming in and saving a club from Division Two, to an old head coming in and taking a mid-table side into Europe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They would still have to have the ability do play a role for us despite their best years being behind them. I wasn't thinking some lower division cart-horse As Alex says, the principal is the same.
