To be fair as well, in the Robins system, he kind of played at left back anyway positionally as MVE would come back to form a back four while Rudoni would almost be a winger

Think based on David’s and other comments this is how we attacked in this system. Hoping Binks starts at Leftback next match

Thanks for this btw, will keep looking at this but actually helped me understand the basics :)

To be fair regardless of the shape in attack, which I’ll keep an eye for next game, The two in CM didn’t drop back enough to support the back three. I was hoping to see us use sheaf as a DM to help protect our backline and keep us moving Do wonder tho if we’ll see binks or Kitching take...

Think with new manager, you have to give players a chance as we only know what happens in front of us and not the behind the scenes. Already said I’d push Kitching back into the side, if he starts well maybe could be a shout as he’s done it before. Other options are limited as don’t want to...

Not quite I don’t think. Officially our shape was done as a 4-2-3-1 and I didn’t see Sheaf drop into the DM role which caused us to have a few issues on the counter when Josh lost the ball.

He’s so open to the job he can’t be arsed to send in a CV or sit down to talk to the owner 🤣

Can I just note on sheaf, while he hasn’t played well this year I do think we could be using him better. His best attributes are his game awareness, ability to play under pressure and his defensive work. I hope when Lampard gets his feet under the table, he moves to a 4-3-3 and plays Sheaf as a...

This is the decision I didn’t get at all. Lampard teams love to cross, was surprised to see Simms not start as he’s the ideal model for this. Big reason I think he had alot of advice from pre existing staff on the personal yesterday ( which is fair enough as he’s had two days)

See I don’t think that’s dumb personally. I know video game and all that but helps people visualise the idea. Use FM for the same reason. On your point, When I’ve read up on Lampard, the big theme seemed to be inverted wingers and opposite feet driving into the centre with one of two cms to...

H mmm Luke Bells time to shine 🤣

100% agree on Dovin and hope Saturday was due to Frank taking a lot of advice from Rhys as he wouldn’t have time to really evaluate his squad. Curiously where does Dovin rank?

Will say as a positive (rewatching the game), the first half was decent for a first match. Stupid first goal to concede as no one even marking the player for them but got back into it, was happy to see us running at players and thought there was some clever play. Great ball by tats to get us in...

Wonder if Leicester would release him on free up wages. Could be a great shout on a 1.5 year contract. RB if we can get Milan back on it, you could solve by just bringing Burroughs back as a backup for half the year and then look to next year. LB already mentioned Giles and would be my main...

Leicester I think?

Great shout, natural leader and worked with Lampard before if not wrong

I know Bidwell has done well at set pieces but looking at his stats. Last year he got one goal and two assists. For a role which is going to be overlapping and putting in crosses (since Mason will be cutting in more), we do need higher. This year he’s not got any assists but has only played...

Course we do, but Dasilva or Bidwell are not offensively good enough to play in the style of play for Lampard. Want to improve defence give them a leader at CB and get someone to protect them in either DM or CM or they will keep being exposed and we will keep struggling

I mean we have two left backs currently who can’t defend and can’t assist. Considering Lampard sides play a lot of crosses traditionally, wouldn’t that play to Giles and Masons strengths (allowing Mason to cut inside more). Defensively sure, but if you get him back to his boro form, we would...

Ryan is 6ft tall?
