Team talk feedback

I'm southampton, and got Sam Vokes on a free in January.

In his 3rd game, at halftime he had a rating of 4.8

I declared my anger at him

Second half he gets a hat trick

I told him at the end that I was delighted with him.

In team talk feedback;

Half time - Fired up

Full time - Didn't seem to be listening

Surely a player would want to know if their second half performance had paid off?

Little things like this do my head in

Too jubilant to bother listening to you.

I know if I had just got a 2nd half hat trick no matter what anyone said to me, I wouldn't take it in

"Didn't seem too be listening" is the baseline reaction and it shouldn't be. IRL I would find it extremely offensive if a player didn't listen to me.

Maybe the coding is okay (I hope "didn't seem to be listening" causes nothing) and its just the description that needs fixing.

He doesn't need to be listening, you gave him a rollocking, he responded in the perfect possible way - you got what you wanted!

He knows you're delighted, that's the point I'm trying to make (really he's loving the fact that you're squirming over his "didn't seem to be listening" - call it revenge )

This usually happens if you have used "delighted" a few times on him already. Don't worry his morale is probably already very high. With you giving him a rollicking at half time it just bucks his ideas up
