    There’s a fair bit of evidence teenager body clocks are significantly different from adults/young children I believe. https://theconversation.com/the-biological-reason-why-its-so-hard-for-teenagers-to-wake-up-early-for-school-88802

    This is just nonsense. He’s got some of the best passing range in the squad and is always high on interceptions. We missed him on Tuesday. He’s made a couple of bad passes, but so have most of the team. They’re all young and learning the level.

    We can agree there mate. Genuinely hope you’re bumping this thread at the end of the month to gloat.

    Yes teams designed to play that way. I’ve got no issue with any style or formation you want on the whole, my issue is this formation doesn’t suit this squad. It means we have to play people out of position and drop some of our better players. And for that reason I don’t think it’ll work. We...

    Examples of what? Squads full of physically slight ball playing kids switching system halfway through, playing out of position, and playing backs to the wall for 90 minutes? Really?

    Finding an example where it works doesn’t mean shit. Palace and Burnley also probably built a squad for that style, not a squad of ball playing kids with all the physical presence of a fucking poltergeist. This squad will go down just sitting off for 90 minutes and hoping to Nick a late goal...

    I was actually going to suggest this, Dabo is the best right sided attacking threat we’ve got and we miss Østigård. Didn’t post cos I thought it was too out there for SBT, but now there’s safety in numbers!

    You: sometimes teams just play bad, nothing to do with formations. Also you: people who say formations have nothing to do with us losing games is insane. Also, I entirely reject your false dichotomy of “go down playing pretty or stay up playing dull”. We will go down based on the performances...

    Since I’ve been for mine we had the weekend the. the missus has been called into work, tested, and got her results back (the accurate slow one not the lateral flow one) I don’t understand why we’re using the less accurate quick ones for mass testing where people can probably wait and the slower...

    I think we’re probably on the same page. Just so frustrating to see us build a style and identity and attract fans and young players with it, then just as we start to look like being able to adapt it to the Championship it’s like we’ve given up. Robins has always liked 4231, generally I like...

    Shipley

    Robins inability to make subs before 75 minutes is also not Shipley’s fault. You play Shipley you know he’ll run himself into the ground around the hour mark.

    Not about turning them over. About recognising it was a chance for points and being brave enough to go for it. Fine if you think against all evidence Derby are Man City in disguise, but the league and form tables suggest otherwise. We needed to adapt to the league and tweak our playing style...

    Shipley

    Sorry I just don’t buy that. The game passed him by yes. He’s at his best playing off the striker not as a DM (which virtually all our midfield are in this formation) or a winger. He obviously loves playing for the club so not sure how his commitment can be challenged. It’s not his fault he was...

    I mean getting the vaccine a week or two early is great, not convinced it’s worth destroying our entire economy and security apparatus for, but it’s nice.

    It should be 532 and a win, it’ll be 901 and a 0-0 or tight loss instead.

    The entire point is we weren’t conceding 2-3 goals a game because of the system and we haven’t stopped because of the new one. We were playing teams who were flying, now we are playing teams who are struggling. We need to pick up points in these games. A lucky last minute draw against a team...
