To play where? If we wanted to try a system with wingers, sure we could use him but he's the only natural winger available now so it's square pegs in round holes on the other side.

Nah, we were relegated on Saturday apparently despite actually increasing the gap to Birmingham.

Feel a bit sorry for Jobello. He looked ok at the start of last season & worked really hard to get fit again but he's returned to a team that no longer plays with wingers so can't get a look in. Just bad luck.

Possibly, needs to be more than just them overtake us though.

Nothing in it really & he's not taken it down so doubt it's seen as an issue. He's played for the U23s since anyway so can put the conspiracy theory to bed.

Possible... I know we like to keep roughly the same system(s) as the first team & that would be very light on attacking width but you never know.

😃 Players needing minutes rather than returning from injury though. I think as @better days alluded to there must be some fear of picking up knocks to the likes of Godden.

I assume thats.... Tyler Pask Eccles Thompson Burroughs Allen Sheaf Shipley Newton Bakayoko Gyökeres ?

Really strong that. Think there's another game on Thursday too, interesting to see what we do for that one as well. Great to see Josh Reid on the comeback trail.

That's coz I had that image saved more than anything... Lazy, sorry! 😁 I do think we've attempted to do the same this season, certainly early on in games, but we have been forced back. You are right though, I'm certain that on average we've definitely been deeper this season, mostly due to the...

I might be wrong but I think we briefly slipped in for 3 days back in October after losing at Middlesbrough. We beat Reading 3 days later & have never really looked like dropping that low since.

I think we should get more from them but they've been stifled somewhat in the Championship & forced deeper than we'd like. It's not always about them being the main creators either though as we're not really a team that thrives on crossing. At other clubs wing-backs can be creators though, look...

The same as at most top clubs nowadays, through a combination of traditional scouting & technical scouting. Technical scouting enables us to get the low down on an enormous amount of players that fit the managers criteria with no cognitive bias & is obviously completely objective. Targets are...

You have to be able to defend a bit as well, of course, but I'm saying it's not their number 1 principle & to say that it's just a fancy name for an attacking full back is really not understanding the role at all. Giles struggles with defending, positionally as much as anything & he was...

Complete myth that we recruit like that.

It really isn't.

We have one of the best recruitment teams around imo & they are hugely well regarded by others in the game.

Agree. Did you fill in the survey they circulated? I voiced that quite vociferously. £10 per game & they've actually managed to miss our goals twice 😡

Well that's just it, it's not the fact that we played 1 up front, it's the fact that the 1 was Biamou.

No. We only had 1 corner & James took it.
