Decent sort of half. Kitchings passing has been good. We look solid at the back and the midfield trio cover acres of ground. Our best chance looks to be a midfielder receiving it on the turn and putting a forward through. Best game I’ve seen Sakamoto have. Wright has put himself about. I know...
Even if we stick with the flat back four LK, BT, KM, LB and JB is about right - it’s about the squad. It’s correct that midfield is where we need options An injury to any of Sheaf, Eccles or Allen leaves us light.
It’s incredible we’re looking to judge Wright in November. If you want to introduce Gyokeres into the argument you’d have to compare where he was after a handful of starts - and that he had Hamer and O’Hare feeding him.
Playing with wing backs in a five means they start further up the pitch - right against whoever their opponents are. To do that we leave ourselves light in midfield. With the three across midfield we look far better balanced and the full backs have space created for them to run into - which is...
Look back at our highlights. He’s hugely involved. Once one goes in he’ll go on a spree. Millwall didn’t know what to do with him yesterday - he had a massive influence on us winning.
He’s ok as a squad player. To be honest the initial selection of him over Bidwell is the worst mistake Robins has made in 4-5 years. He hasn’t made that many mind.
Yes, 100% correct JB. When we try tic tac toe around the area we have less end product - a bit like when Wenger got all self indulgent at The Arse. Get in range, have a go. Win 3-0.
Wright had a very good game. He could have easily had a goal or two but that will come. Millwall simply couldn’t cope with him and hence a good win. If you’re knocking Wright today you just don’t understand the game.
Bit ironic that in the same thread there is an argument that we underachieved last year because we had stellar Robins signings in Gyokeres and Hamer in the squad alongside posts that say he shouldn’t be trusted with transfers
Agree with that. It’s a peculiar mix of looking very good but achieving not a lot. I think he’ll be a very useful squad player if not a regular starter.
