Which isn’t as easy as it sounds when your two forwards are a half fit Hwang and a fatigued Sarabia. All too often a move forward would break down due to one or the other. Of course he’s still got a lot to learn but he’s dealing with very challenging circumstances at the moment.
But isn’t that structure an attempt to deal with the fact that there were only two senior forwards available. It wouldn’t have been how he chose to play.
The quote was from yesterdays press conference by the looks of it. Presumably he's been asked a question and that was part of the answer. It didn't sound like an excuse but more like a fairly obvious statement of the facts.
I trust O'Neil's judgment considerably more than yours. He obviously thought Doc was a better bet than either a broken Johnny or a not quite fit enough Bueno.
If he's coming back from injury surely the idea would have been to give him the last 10 minutes or so. Slowly get him back up to match fitness. The assessment would have been that 60 minutes (or thereabouts) was too long for him in the circumstances and as we were playing (a fluid) 3 at the...
Thought he had another good game on Saturday. His confidence is growing which is great to see. There was someone who, bizarrely, tried to blame him for Villa's equaliser. Well it was his tackle and winning of the ball that set in motion the circumstances surrounding the Guedes equaliser...
Can't help feeling Sellars is something of a fall guy for Jeff Shi's failings. Problem is we'll never know exactly how the decision making structure operated and quite what he can be blamed for. Certainly not the ridiculous idea that it was him secretly calling the shots behind Steve Davis'...
Have to agree with this. Not only recognising Joe Hodge but telling him he had a good game against Leeds must have done his confidence a real boost. It feels like the sort of leadership we've been missing under Lage.
For what it's worth, watching the recent YouTube video of the Saiss interview he seemed to suggest that both Sellars and Lage were keen on him staying and that it was Shi that essentially forced him out.
I went as well and all things considered I thought we did ok. I also thought Hodge played well. I've no idea why some on here don't seem to like him. Of course the main take away from this evening is we clearly need a decent striker but what's new about that.
I can see my discussion with Johnny75 is winding others up. I'm sorry about that. I just felt it was incredibly unfair that Steve Davis was labelled a liar. Whatever his shortcomings as a coach he seems to be a thoroughly decent human being doing a thankless job at a difficult time. If nothing...
Nice try at deflecting, it hasn't worked. Who cares if I didn't correctly detail all aspects of the job description of a scout. What Matt Pearson describes as 'opposition analysis' you want to call scouting. Yet again, this isn't important. You can try and shift the goalposts as much as you...
Make your mind up. First you say I've lifted straight from the Matt Pearson article (where he details his role as a 'performance analyst') then say I've conflated it with scouting. Scouting, as I understand it, is assessing individual players suitability for purchase by the club. None of which I...
No, not at all. I'm not sure why you'd think that I'd think that 'everything was good". Wolves is a car crash that's been a long time coming. The driver of that car is Jeff Shi. His failures have been well documented so it's pointless listing them again. I was devastated to learn Coady was being...
