That's my big gripe, he hasn't brought in players to dominate the ball, yet changes style.MR has always wanted us to dominate the ball but has been pragmatic enough to change it up as needed.
His argument, probably rightly, is that style of football is more sustainable long-term but we're clearly struggling massively with it at the moment.
I was fully behind the Hadji Wright signing because, stylistically, he wasn't massively dissimilar to Gyokeres. We have then completely pivoted away from the style of play that would suit him...
It usually comes when theres an injury that forces him into a decision to be fair.Robins' pragmatic side usually appears in these moments so it'll be interesting to see what happens.

He had xA of 5.93 last season which put him in the 70th percentile 0.15 per 90 mins. He got 4 assists and a goal last season.Dasilva had 1.3 xA last night. Bidwell had about 3.1 for the whole of last season.
Dasilva had 14 shot creating actions last night, next most was Sheaf with 10 and then Ayari with 5.
He made more passes than anyone and more progressive passes.
He was poor in the second half and had a little spell where he was all over the shop. But pretty much everything went through him last night and he's the least of our worries right now.

For context
Palmer 0.17 per 90 mins
Allen 0.12 per 90 mins
Sheaf 0.15 per 90 mins
Last season Dasilva had xA of 0.12, the season before that 0.16. It is higher his season currently at 0.20 but we are playing different style of football, with 2 strikers with more options in the box.
He isn't massively more attacking than Bidwell. And the difference in quality between the two is negligible, they just have different playing styles and strengths.

Yes he has and point well made if I was mocking him, I was offering an opinion that Grenada are probably not Championship level (or better!) as you claimedHe earns money playing football I’d guess more than you have ever done
I reckon most the opponents Jamaica play are better than most if not all championship teams
for reference, Jamaica's last 10 opponents...I reckon most the opponents Jamaica play are better than most if not all championship teams

I’ve found a course what might be useful for you RupertGet rid of him then
I got them from hereNot sure where you're getting your stats from, I have Dasilva's numbers the same as yours but Bidwell's are way off that where I'm looking (fbref.com).
It shows Bidwell as xA of 2.5 for last season.
Hindsight is great isn't it ? I think Da Silva has been ok for what it's worth , he's technically sound and has a lot of ability on the ball . What he hasn't delivered so far is decent crosses on a regular basis which has been disappointing
I'm struggling to believe we had 66% possession last night, that can't be right.

If you go through the current squads for those teams on Wikipedia, you realise how dumb slowpoke's comment was.
One of them is a team even Haji Wright can’t get into
He has the same number of assists as Bidwell had at this stage last season. A lot of the complaints seem overblown to me.Using the Rotherham game as an example, Dasilva delivered 4 crosses into dangerous areas that we won first contact on:
54: Simms’ headed chance
85: Sakamoto glanced wide
95: O’Hare glanced wide
96: Thomas put header wide
I don’t think his delivery has been particularly lacking in many games.

No that was Fadz.Did he play the ball in for Simms' shot in the first half?
Are you sure about that?No that was Fadz.

Rotherham were shit.Rotherham played well, let’s not forget that.
100%. Dasilva was on the half way line. Here's Fadz crossing the ball.Are you sure about that?
They were better than us on the day.Rotherham were shit.
It is worrying me a bit that MR keeps talking about missed chances and not how poor our performance was generally.
Strange place for McFadzean to be100%. Dasilva was on the half way line. Here's Fadz crossing the ball.
