Don't understand taking stephy off, defensively and in attack stephy is better than daka We really need a manager in

At least he'll get a shot off

Really think should be pulling daka off and getting winks on

Its like we're playing without a RB

Was purely accidental due to payers change in direction, ref going by the crowd

Mate that ball from Ricardo was ridiculous

Doubt he'll start when JJ is back

I'd have played aribo higher up instead of BDCR and started winks, then played bdcr instead of daka

I'd start the Chelsea lad or play BDCR as a striker and play the man city lad as a 10

We were in freefall, stowell and sadler lost both their winnable games with a whimper, ndidi was god awful, as was tielemen, our defense was short of confidence with thomas or VK at left back, Evans was often awol, maddison was trying to win it on his own which led to an ill discipline game, Smith had to play Soumare who had his best period under Smith, and really Smith had done his job had the chances at Everton or Newcastle been put away

Really? He earned a point at at St James against a flying Newcastle, he got us to a place where we were a peno away from surviving. We were a mess before he came, it was way too late.

Dean Smith nearly turned around our abysmal 22/23 season, i'd take Smith right now in a heartbeat

Pushing the full backs up.......thomas and Ricardo = 24 games without conceding

Just think it isolates the wingers, which is why abdul is constantly looking towards his own goal to recieve the pass. With Enzo system the 8's and wingers worked together. When we're struggling to make it work, we come too high up the pitch and then get hit on the break, this was marti's issue imo

Hate to say I told you so, call me a conspiracy theorist but it just feels like they wanted to cause us maximum harm in the window by scaring away potential signings.

Do you not think playing with 6's leaves our wingers unsupported? It's fine playing this system if you have decent full backs who can support the wingers and get back if needed, and 6's that can press as well as move the ball through midfield. We don't have that, so play with 8's to support the wingers, get the full backs to play defensively with caution, playing as the 6 because we know he's the best player we have in that system, Ricardo is also adept at playing that inverted role with winks, and yes i know winks is a knob

I'm not sure anything is independent when it comes.es to money

Depends if its a low number

They've deffo been waiting for the end of the window, i'd say it's any day now, they won't want to make their pettiness obvious so bet its next week

Andy Wimpey One for the older fans

Daniel Smarties

Imagine being Jakub knowing only reason he's playing is because we couldn't get anyone else in

We dont need Enzo to play with 2 8's and a 6. I'm surprised Kingy didn't bring winks straight back in and play that system with Page and Ricardo. Thats the system I posted in the Charlton thread

Let's say hypothetically, for some bizarre reason, Enzo did decide to come in till the end of the season, I can't figure out if it'd be a good thing, or a bad thing. On the one hand, he was totally fixed with us to one system, and we don't have the players for that, but on the other hand players love him, and will probably give everything, but I just can't figure out why he'd come here, other than he thinks he's the second coming.
