Charles is back fit at Sheffield Wednesday. Given the amount of times he’s watched us in person this season I’d be surprised if we haven’t made a polite enquiry.

Set the team up a bit too high on reflection. Attempted to camp opponents into their half which sounds good but meant when you win the ball back there’s quite a lot of players to get through. Now we’re set up slightly deeper and have better patterns of play. Players are clearly responding to that detail but ultimately the space the deeper set up allows is there to be exploited by an attack that’s best attributes are dribbling. Also, and this probably ties into the above set up but I really can’t stress enough how much more ruthless we’ve become up front. You take your chances and the game looks so much better.

So too late then actually? Fellows was injured. Scienza went missing in the 2nd half, likely for the reasons you said. I thought the subs made sense at that point , trying to stretch the play rather than compress it which had worked so well in the first half but like you said WBA had made changes to negate it. I think bringing on Romeu and Aribo continues to be piss poor though. I think it’s just about physical presence at that point. We could do with a RWB being fit and Charles back.

Yea, so all results before them shall be discounted. Except for Millwall.

First real test was conveniently the one he lost. These mysterious better teams around the corner. Cost us the promotion we’re getting closer to every week.

Eh?

Because the strikers ahead of him weren’t available at the time. He’s not near their first choice squad.

Genuine question but what do people want in terms of game management? Aribo sub poor and doesn’t help so happy to accept that as criticism but I thought recognising we’d lost control and bringing on physical players to defend the box and break quickly was actually quite good? We aren’t going to keep control for 90 minutes every game, not least because we’ve evidently moved away from that as an attempted tactic so we will have to soak up pressure to create the transitions everyone is enjoying so much.

I have zero issue with you, your post or you wondering why we signed him. None at all.

Nobody has made a misstep and nobody has tried putting anyone off. I just wondered whether the goals Downs scored for his team might be the answer to this German fellas confusion. I’m a very helpful person like that.

🤣 Alright, noted. I’ll cancel those plans. Anyway, dull, missing the point, tangled up or just a wind up merchant. Hope nobody asks you why Adam Armstrong will start on Tuesday if he’s fit.

This bit. Just in case anyone still needs it highlighting or if someone wants to tell me I’m missing the point again 🤣

I’m sure they were quite happy to agree that. I didn’t comment on that ffs 🤣 I commented on the bit where bogwoppit said the Koln fan didn’t know why he got so many minutes. That’s why they might have done that. I can’t believe I’ve had to spell this out again.

Yeah, I’m not actually, but thanks for trying to decipher my thoughts. I’m asking if anyone kindly pointed out to the Koln fan as to why their top scorer was consistently being given minutes. That’s all, it simple stuff. Like, pointing out to a Saints fan why Armstrong continues to be picked in this league when he’s scoring goals.

I’m not arguing about the quality of Downs. I’m asking if you reminded the Koln fan as to why he played so much for them because the answer is quite obvious, that I’m surprised the knowledge ex footballer himself had clearly forgot.
