Asking defenders to concentrate on defending? Madness.Yep.
Although Blackburn's wing back system was very defensive. I don't think their centre backs were stepping into midfield or anything fancy like that.
Like the rest of them, if you ask him to concentrate on defending he's probably a pretty decent player for the championship.
More like a borat mankini4 cans and a bag of Doritos.
I reckon it might catch on.Asking defenders to concentrate on defending? Madness.
Hope soI reckon it might catch on.
That for me in a nut shell is what has been wrong with our wing back system all season, neither Giles nor Jones offer any cover. For such attacking wing backs we need proper midfield cover, which since losing Tav we haven’t had.
You can’t just criticise Lenihan.There was a sense that it was a bit of a coup when we signed him.
He doesn’t look especially solid, doesn’t display any real organisation skills in a chaotic defence, doesn’t seem to offer much leadership on the pitch and offers little from set pieces in front of goal,
Not impressed really.
Wilder tbf did try to rectify this at Coventry, but it was too little too late. I was very much a Wilder fan too, but it became clear relationships had broken down, which gave the players a ready made excuse for under performing, one they still have with our current caretaker limbo. We now just need some decisive action, even if it’s Leo until Christmas, so that the players can be managed and coached as professionals. This one game at a time approach with Leo and his cohorts wouldn’t even be tolerated in Sunday morning football!Very much so. I was very much in the Wilder camp but a bit surprised he didn't change it. I'm sure he's said previously that he's not wedded to one system (despite evidence to the contrary). Only he'll know why he was so stubborn about it.
I think (maybe naively) that any half capable new manager coming in has a fairly easy job tactically because I don't see how moving to a back 4 and two midfielders protecting them doesn't immediately fix a lot of issues.
The harder part is going to be lifting the players.
No we should be signing players who know how to play a system of the coach and know how to win in the Championship. Look at Luton. No money and bought players who would not be premier league players but have put that team up into the playoffs yet again.The thing is we should be signing young players who futures are in the Premier league not bang average run of your mill championship players.
