Ridiculous statement - have you heard of inflation?
Ridiculous statement - have you heard of inflation?The whining excuse is Robins has achieved promotions and now has a poor team and its not his fault. Robins has spent more on one player than Gould on the entire squad in a higher league.
Phil Neal achieved a top flight finish of 11th
Robins has never to be knowledge achieved that
Your answer is Kenny Jackett. He’d have set us out 4-5-1 last night, which you were salivating over, we’d be lumping it up to Walker when that system requires a Juke type player to be even remotely effective. We’d score perhaps once every other game and go down on <40 points.
What your posts have highlighted particularly this season is your footballing judgment is miles off and I say that having previously agreed with it in seasons gone by

You don't need to lump it up - under Mowbray we often played Fortune and Murphy wide in a 3 and Armstrong in the middle.
Teams with limited abilities playing 3 at the back are asking for trouble
You want Phil Neal back to replace Robins? Jesus Christ - even by your ridiculous standards that's amazing.
I can't believe I'm even having this debate. Phil Neal inherited a team that was established in the top flight for over 30 years. He did ok here but to be brutally honest his overall coaching/management record doesn't stand up to much.
Just as a comparison.......Robins has taken a team in free-fall from L2 to the Champ (that's two promotions in 3 seasons) and the team is now facing a very sharp adjustment to life in a much higher quality division. But let's bring back Phil?
Jackett would be lumping it up. You say it’s asking for trouble yet by HT we had just conceded once in 3 games. It’s individual errors that cost goals not the setup. The central 3 in front of the defence also can provide cover when we’re out of possession.
That system last night was just poor
If we persist with the system that created one 'shot' on target all evening (if you can even call that a shot) then we may as well pack it in now. We'd actually looked decent going forward in the three previous games yet last night we didn't look like we'd have scored if we were still playing now.
Question is does MR persist with it or admit it was a mistake.
Again you associate managers with football styles that are not actually what they do. You seem to want us to go gung ho when we concede 2 every game
So you would just carry on losing games? Didnt you say when we last lost 3-2 can we just be relegated now as that formation concedes too many goals?

The elephant in the room on this forum. OUR finances.Robins isn’t the problem. The massive gap between league 1 finance (more specifically our finances) and Championship finances is. We have to trust the guy who got us here to do enough come end of season.
It isn’t a gung ho system is it, it’s flexible and affords protection to the 3 centre backs while giving us actual options going forward as demonstrated by us scoring 6 in 3 with many more sitters going begging. We aren’t getting overrun with it, we’re making stupid mistakes or conceding from set pieces which are nothing to do with the formation.
As said above your judgment is way off if you think 4-5-1 is the answer
I don't want Phil Neal back and I don't think we had the same team for 30 years
I assume by your logic Graham Turner was a great manager for Wolves - a real legend and better than Nunez?
What did they both do?
We kept a clean sheet, took a point and looked more susceptible when we changed system. He persists with it.
I didn’t say that formation concedes too many goals. It was after we just conceded an own goal after missing sitters prior
The elephant in the room on this forum. OUR finances.
You are now comparing Nunez to Phil Neal?
Please. Just for once stop the stupidity and give yourself and everyone else a break. Just have a day off - It's not really a big ask is it?
We got lucky is why we kept the clean sheets mate better teams will rip that system to piecesWe kept a clean sheet, took a point and looked more susceptible when we changed system. He persists with it.
How many goals did we concede with this formation. Oh and before you say they missed chances check the stats for other games where we did concede 2 or 3 compared to last night
We got lucky is why we kept the clean sheets mate better teams will rip that system to pieces
Who is Nunez?No I’m saying if you were a wolves fan deploring your argument Nunez is a less capable manager than graham Turner as Turner did exactly what robins did as a manager
Birmingham were shit too G and hoofed up to Juke-funnily enough also going for the same turgid guff we were attempting
You seem obsessed with one dimensional long ball - they had wide players and our crosses in - they are a better team than us
No I’m saying if you were a wolves fan deploring your argument Nunez is a less capable manager than graham Turner as Turner did exactly what robins did as a manager
Oh it was robins system - are you saying you know better?You’re praising a system where we created absolutely nothing and still made mistakes. Cardiff will have nothing to trouble them, likewise Norwich. Back to the powder puff Middlesbrough performance
Jesus Christ - I know what you are trying to say.
But let's look at a few fundamental flaws in your argument in comparing Neal and Nunez in this scenario: 1. Nunez got Wolves promoted to the Premiership 2. Two consecutive 7th place finishes in the Premiership 3. Quarter finals in Europe. Got it?

The only real reason he's praising it so much is that he's been banging the drum for four at the back all season and thinks that if he pretends we played well last night then it makes him look clever.I called for a 5-3-2 a day after the Boro game, with tactical reasons. Robins goes with it the following game and we win. Then we throw away 3 points at Forest and another one at Watford missing sitters and giving away two comical penalties. His answer is to take out our attacking threat while keeping the defensive mistakes.
You lapped it up which says all we need to know

We scored goals with the other one tho GBetter teans Have ripped the other system to pieces
