Team v Wigan?

His distribution is terrible. And switching partners every week has seen his obvious quality defending suffer tons.

Probs 5 at the back with 2 defensive midfielders.

Not Maguire. Looks like he can't be arsed atm. Either Embleton or diamond in him role for me.

West Ham and West Brom if I recall, slaughtered them both by 6! The sky blue twats fucked us up eventually though.

I’d give Patterson the shout at No1, only keeper at the club that might have a future and senior keepers don’t inspire.
Switch to a back 4 so have to have two fullbacks that can defend, so rules Hume out. Every no pressure hoof forward is a f***ing fine - play in to GK, FBs or CMs for set and reset. Out ball in behind their FB of under pressure with front 4 to use as a trigger to press.
Wright to bitch Sanderson.
Scowens legs around Grant but both have to get on the half turn and threaten to play forward to feet. No f***ing straight drops either, allow FBs to provide width and drop into that space.
Youthful exuberance in Diamond/Embleton/Neil to play off their midfielders shoulders, in between the lines. Close the gaps between in each and look for interplay. Defensively every under hit pass, square pass or heavy touch is a trigger to pressure as a unit - win it or foul, really aggressive.
Grigg to occupy centre backs with little diag runs across and in behindstay between the width of the 6yd box as much as possible.
Move the ball quickly and as high as possible against a low block to move their defensive unit. Don’t give heading practice for their backline, only look cross when wide and goalline side of the 18yd line. Every cross made where we don’t have at least three bodies in the box I’d be dishing out bollockings.
That’d be my order of the day.

Quite like that but would have Embleton or Neil in for Leadbitter

Yup, and put Scowen deeper and one of those further forward. Scowen isn't and never has been an attacking midfielder. He's known as a player who puts his foot in and presses teams at the clubs he was at before us, he gets involved in the build up to attacks but not actually in the attack. Parkinson saw him pass the ball forward once so decided he was massively attacking and played him as such

Which is probably more than most. Yeah maybe Embleton higher up with Scowen for Leadbitter

Not more so than Maguire or Gooch but he decided Gooch is a wingback and Maguire a centre forward because he saw Maguire score once and Gooch cross once
Christ what an abysmal team we have.

Oh and I wouldn't have Hume anywhere near f***ing left forward. His control, passing/crossing, shooting and heading are shit

Sanderson played RB or RWB at Cardiff iirc. There's no way on this earth that McLaughlin should play there ahead of him. Its CB or nothing for him. Imo.

Fuck five at the back, it's been f***ing awful ever since we have used it. Stiffles all attacking play by having too many centre halves. We've tried it loads over the years and it's been f***ing terrible every single time

The only thing about him is at least he'll have a run at them & is quite direct. We haven't got enough players like that.
