It was an obligation to buy, so it’s no different really. Yes, we’ve probably overpaid. But that’s a separate issue from signing the wrong player in the first place. And EMC was always going to be more expensive given his output.

Over the last two seasons he’s been statistically significantly worse than our other options.

You’re just cherry picking lmao So signing Sheaf based on performances in L1/2 was a good thing, but for everyone else it’s a bad thing? Jesus Christ have a day off.

His career stats in Sweden and the German 2nd division? Wright’s not playing badly lmao. And Simms is barely playing.

“First full year” doing some heavy lifting, hardly fair when Vik had half a season beforehand.

Yeah get that, they could be a little more balanced though. Clive and Oggy basically run defence for Robins and co when we lose.

I don’t think it’s as black and white as passing vs hoofball. Agree with shmmeee that you have to be looking to play short the majority of the time if you want to be successful. I think our problem is the length of that sequence- rather than making just 1 or 2 passes between defenders and then...

How many articles does Clive write? Confused.

He didn’t though, BTA played wider and we looked better for it.

Playing narrow can’t be an instruction. Sakamoto hasn’t done it. Anyone who watches for more than 5 mins can see it hurts us.

Never been more confident we’ll lose a game tbh, not sure it matters.

Well generally I hate it when fans try to play amateur psychologist on the players. But in this case, if your first thought about an upcoming game is losing there previously it’s hardly a good sign is it.

I just find it odd that a player’s response to hearing you were going to the game was to mention how often we lose there.

fucking hell ben, just what every fan wants to hear from a player "You're going to the match Saturday? Haha, we always lose there and will do again you absolute mug."

Wilson isn’t playing well he’s been crap

Why's collins in there lol, he was £500k.

Agreed. I'd say, looking at our front 3, the only player we have that would actually suit a slower build up style with more intricate passing is Sakamoto. He's got the quick feet to do it. Wright and now Bassette clearly absolutely thrive in fast break scenarios where they can exploit their...

just a meaningless addition to the discussion really. Everyone knows there's risks to playing out from the back.

So we largely agree then. Wilson has been significantly worse than Dovin though. He's conceded 0.36 more goals than expected per 90. Dovin 0.08. Wilson was one of the worst keepers in the league statistically last season, and based on his 3 games so far ranks 26th/28 this season. It's just a...

No one was saying he has been anything special. Just pointing out how stupid it is to sign a new keeper and drop him after 6 games when he's done nothing wrong, for the very player we know isn't good enough. You're completely missing the point.
