Joey Barton gave fans an insight into his managerial methods when he posted his tactics board to social media.
Football fans don't normally get this much access to the dressing room.
Some of the tactics boards of Mikel Arteta are remembered by viewers of the latest series. A picture of a heart, a brain and a fan was displayed with the word 'energy' connecting them.
Barton's notes give instructions like "big start", "squeeze space" and "stick together".
A section of the board is dedicated to motivational quotes such as "you're unique" and "a one off".
There are more obscure references such as "cage door closed" and "a collective bed of discipline".
In his first season at the helm, the former Manchester City, Queens Park Rangers and Burnley player has overseen a promotion back to League One and the Gas are currently sitting comfortably in the middle of the table.
