Reminds me of Tranmere's claims that they were deliberately shit first half of the season but then would have turned into 1970s Brazil after season was halted.
Especially the way we played it. Thorn had very limited tactical knowhow. We were exploited by the diagonal ball to the flanks in EVERY single game yet he had no idea how to prevent it.
The key to breaking down their pressing style will be the 2 CDMs in my opinion.
We need to invite the press then play forward into Godden with good quality ball. Then the CAMs & the WBs come into play with the gaps that will be created in behind the press.
It's a difficult system to play...
Even more relevant is the ban only affects 'elite' football which is National League North/South & above.
So teams below Step 2 are free to allow 30% of their supporters in. There were regular attendances of 600 fans at these games last weekend with nowhere near the levels of control that can...
Correct.
Wolves want Giles to develop to be a wing back. As such, they insisted he went to a team that would primarily utilise him as a wing back.
I think people forget he isn't our player.
Agreed but who's likely to be interested at the fee we would want for the players I listed?
We know Biamou has been told he can go, a move for Mason must be imminent & we'd desperately like to offload Kastaneer.
Other than that it'll surely only be loans for some of the youngsters (but not...
I'd be surprised if we make anywhere near as many outgoings as some are suggesting.
Billson, Pask, Jobello, Hillßner & Baka certainly won't be going anywhere.
Caveat of of a short loan potentially for Jobello to get more fitness.
You said he had a "shocker" first half & the main reason being that he gave the "ball away in dangerous areas regularly" but can't pinpoint any such occasions.
You also said that the "back 3 played well" first half. All of them made potentially costly errors so why didn't they have "shockers"...
It's a pointless comparison, Chaplin is a good player but wouldn't fit our system ahead of any of the other strikers.
Could possibly do a job in one one of the No.10 roles but we have different types of player there.
Ah, he'll be desperate then, I'll get my local non league club to give his agent a call & offer the standard £80 per week, should snap their hands off.
Cheers for the heads up 👍🏻
Which is why Wolves insisted he went to a team who plays with Wing Backs, we're not going to change that without good reason.
Moreso, the attacking outlet he offers from wing back is absolutely key to the way we play & for me he's a better fit for that role than McCallum.
He did, once v Gillingham but literally as a stop gap & looked uncomfortable.
Suggesting we have one eye on him potentially covering RWB is like suggesting we sign Stephen Hughes as goalkeeper cover.
