Down to ten maybe the only time the shape would be as it should be.

Blame isn’t my concern, but the owner should decide why it’s not tallying and get rid of whoever they think is to blame.
My worry now is, if as people think the owners don’t know what they’re doing, it’s likely nobody is lined up, or the man they get is the wrong one. Then we’re in trouble

Everyone knew the team/squad needed lots of additions, and with PSR as it is, you have to decide how you get the numbers you want in to the numbers of players you need. It’s nigh on impossible. So then you have to decide on what type of player and style you want to do. Ours doesn’t tally. Who’s to

we may play 3 at the back and use wing backs and having watched how teams play we would sit in. Yet we don’t and as a result we are allowing good teams with good players space
Look at Saturday. We were playing 2v2 at the back when the ball was up the other end! Why? We’re not playing Preston. Crazy

They spent £100m on 10 players though. My surprise is that we aren’t playing in a way I expected us to play. I am convinced we run out of steam because the players are having to do too much running due to their OOP shape leaves too many gaps. We have 4 centre backs and can only play 2. I thought 1/2

Not sure 10 is possible 😀

If the score stays the same, they may get half an hour whether they like it or not

They know the harder game is Saturday 😀

Can’t do it until they have their new man agreed though can they? Have nobody in house to take the shellacking they will get over the next couple of games
So, agree with the new man and then do it would be the plan I guess

He’s really in no position to talk about how he’s been treated by the club

But add that to the openness without the ball, and you’re in the terrible relegation scenario of conceding too many and not scoring enough

In isolation the performance was fine. The worry is the OOP set up is bad. Too open. Too many spaces, and when you’re playing at this level you can’t allow space because you give them encouragement that they’re always in the game. The lack of a cutting edge is natural for a newly promoted team 1/2

The manager doesn’t have to take the player off though

Oh they’re going to pass it in to a man in space in the box, from a man unmarked on their right wing, and then they will pass it to an unmarked man in the box, to pass it in. Rinse and repeat

Watching them walk the ball in next week seems inevitable

My youngest said exactly the same thing
