Agreed, no need to go five at the back against a woeful team at home. Sakamoto plays wing or not at all. I actually thought the one small positive was EMC played with a bit of intent
Come on. We had zero ideas or intensity first half. Asante wasn’t the issue. It was that our most creative ball player was playing left back and our trickiest winger was playing amongst the giants bang in the middle of the pitch.
It’s really clear. You play Torp if it’s five at the back. Saka if it’s 4. Why is that so difficult for them to see. Personally I hope that’s the end of the five at the back scenario.
In theory. But the Championship doesn’t work like that. For evidence see our last two results. It’s a lottery. A slugfest. Tiny margins make the difference
Why are we obsessed with his role in a first 11. What happens if Wright is injured or Sakamoto? He can play on both flanks and through the middle. A very useful addition. The form will come - he’s good enough.
I think this year we made a mistake. We had new coaches and a few new players and at the first international break the squad went on holiday. That should have been time on the training pitch.
