What a strange thing to say. Maybe the truly modern man ( whatever that means) has to be there 27/7 when his wife is expecting.
But to most of us bought up in the real world, playing a professional football match for which you are being paid thousands of pounds, you would automatically break off your husbandly duties and return later.
It called working for a living, not all of us had time off to have babies

To be clear, I think we need better at CB. But in just the two league games Dasilva has switched off, had players cut inside him at will, along with the old chestnut of teams playing the ball over his head.

Doesn’t make the task any easier

If you think Jay Dasilva is at the route of every goal we concede I’ve no idea what to say.

I saw people defending Bobby Thomas’s “clearance” for the third with “it’s all MvEs fault for putting the ball out for a throw in”

No. It’s not our wingbacks fault our CBs can’t defend their box. Sorry. Frankly Dasilva has had a better start to the season than either of them but that’s irrelevant on here since he reached meme status.

Well before social media there was always a player that was always shit according to many supporters, no matter how they played, and some could do no wrong. There is a psychology description for it, but can't remember what it is called. Something to do with reinforced collective bias.
Mick Kearns played in the side promoted to the top division going 25 games unbeaten but was shit.
Breen and Konjic could do no wrong but they weren't all that. I still see supporters praising them to high heaven on here.
JDS had the second most successful forward passes against Derby. At no point against Derby or Hull did he do something really bad that led to a goal.
All backs get a running some time. The last quarter of the 24/25 season and the start of this season, JDS has been class.
Bidders was coming back from bad injury last season so it remains to be seen if he has slowed up. It is unfair to judge him until he has a run of games when fully recovered. See also Sheaf.
As for Bobby and Kitch, they have great games and some less good. However, all our defence were good enough to get us to the playoffs last season and most neutrals thought we were better than Sunderland over the two games. Add in being robbed of a cup final place.
It is easy to cherry pick when a player is poor but over a season the final outcome will determine a players worth.
