Thank you Clive, I guess this puts to bed the often quoted theory that it’s the journey and not the destination that really matters (ahem) !
Only one questions arose - were you standing at the sink or sitting on it ? |

I’ve seen the plans and it is clearly mapped directly onto BusStop Stadium (TM).
Should keep everyone happy. |

Agreed.
It’s just a shame they don’t generate much money when sold because that could be a decent fix for us. |

We could just play a selection of four centre backs across the line as we did before but it’s not ideal against most teams and suspect when facing any form of pace and guile on the wing. I also think Colback would be exposed at left back these days.
Maybe we can welease Wonnie (Edwards) the wobber to one side if necessary but I guess he also favours the wight. Wabscallion ! |

Can we get a left back and a right back first please ?
Thank you, that would be most delicious. |

Maybe shouldn’t have mentioned that on this thread. |

So the system that put us at the top of the form table for a while was the wrong one and we should change it to accommodate Chair ?
I love Chair but he’s not the same player he was, he is not Bannon and he’s not a natural number 10. Even if he was, why would you potentially throw the results away for something that may not work and lose the benefits of Chair’s contributions from the left ? |

He’s waiting for the (green) bikini formation.
Two up top, a bare midfield and the rest behind, covering arses.
Popular with Brazilian teams. |

It's a full week to cover and not much travel so I would drop Chair and bring in Kolli to see if that works better with Frey BUT I would change that up shortly after half time if it's not working and try Alfie Lloyd instead of one of them. That's three very different types of threats to deal with across 90 minutes and if one of the combinations/relationship works, I think it's a good model for similar games.
I don't think you can change the midfield so much and hope that we can do the job of 3 with 2, especially where one is Colback who isn't 100% fit. We've tried that and failed baldy until we switched systems. I think Colback's role is now more of a late sub for game management IF we are ahead and not chasing the game like yesterday.
Who plays on the left at CB ? Both Cook and Edwards are primarily right sided and I think Edwards plays well there (RCB) when next to Dunne but I don't think I have seen Cook or Edwards at LCB yet, only Morrison (and JCS & Fox).
So, if we want Cook back, I would start him at RCB with Morrison at LCB and maybe bring on Edwards for Cook if he's short of fitness. Fox for Morrison on the left as a sub (or vice versa if Fox starts).
So:
Nardi
Paal Morrison (Fox) Cook (Edwards) Dunne
Field Varane (Colback) Morgan (Colback)
Kolli (Lloyd) Frey (Lloyd) Smyth (Saito) |

I would guess he will be comfortable financially but imagine living another 50-60 years with that approach to life.
What is he going to do with all that time on his hands because if you can’t apply yourself to a sport you should enjoy, you are going to find it pretty tough going in the real world - even if you don’t need a job for money, you probably need something meaningful to occupy the time.
We should probably do the same and let him get on with whatever he has going on. I doubt we’ll see him back at the club and I doubt he will play much again, for anyone else. |

And as for the pre match analysis of them being weak on crosses….did no one listen to that in prep ? |

When Paal was told to deliver to the far post, it did it nearly every corner previously and we headed it back into the danger zone.
So this game we switch that tactic to shirt corners and hitting the first man.
And then we let Chair start taking them. Ok, better than Captain floaty Madsen but that’s a seriously low bar.
WTF is that all about ? Over adjusting because they have big defenders ?
We have some fairly big, decent headers ourselves that I would back - if the ball went into the mix a few times more occasionally. Edward’s nearly scoring was a pretty big clue FFS. |

This - plus Varane came off two minutes before they scored and he wasn’t tired - in fact, he looked pretty pissed off to be subbed.
His job is to sit and break up attacks, which he does effectively. That’s helped us with our defence massively at times when we needed the extra protection.
Morgan’s role is more attacking, which kept Bannon busy for a while.
So we took both Varane and Morgan off…doesn’t make sense, does it ? |
