Limited, but grafts and puts a shift in. Still.has a lot to learn but easy to forget he's lack of experience.

Comes across well, articulate and well spoken.

Manager making proactive subs!

Feels like this week is massive, two home games, then we have Wolves before Christmas. Also two big home games in January back to back against Fulham and Palace. Those 5 home games are virtual to any chance of survival. Unless we spend decent money in January and buy well, I think we will go down with a whimper.

McAteer more likely the RW with Facundu inside.

He had two days first line up was always going to be random. Somehow need to try and pick up 7-9 points between now and the window opening, really need home wins against W Ham and Wolves.

Hope we aren't playing a high line. Interested to see how he constructs his 3-box-3.

Closed thread. Time to move on to the ruddvolution.

See my post above with a link to a tactical article, but a picture saves a 1000s words.

Nice article which discusses 3-box-3. https://tacticallyspeaking.co.uk/2023/04/28/comparing-3-box-3-and-2-3-5/

Problem is both him and Vestergaard have to play in a 3 and can't play together.

He's done here, has been for years.

Stop tying to play open, expansive football, that doesn't mean going long, just simple patterns of play. Play a simple system, where everyone understands there role and responsibilities, structured and stick with it. Shot ourselves in the front we spent 45m on Skipp and El Khannouss and don't play them.

We need someone who know what they are doing.

Issues is we have limited bunch of CBs, if Okoli isn't fit we have Coady and Vestergaard. Same as people calling for JJ to come it means Hamza in. I think we need come up with a more structured shape, we are far to open especially on transition.

Like JJ, needs structure and organisation, positionally all over the place, needs a coach who can improve him.

I think it come down to how much and how well we spend in January.

Football a team game, which require individual to work as a team. Watch Brentford they are a while oiled machine, well coached and set up.

A team demonstrating all of the issues of being poorly coached for 4 months

Not sure what people expect, we have been dreadful since the start of pre-season, no structure/organisation, no pattern of play, dreadful press. 5 days without Cooper, under Dawson was never going to address the issue.

We are dreadful in transition, but goals we have been countered, we are all over the place structurally when we have the ball.

You go 1 nil up away and we are so high, should be sitting in, low block, let them have it. Both goals down to poor organisation and application.

Right side is an issue, JJ in dream land.

1 in the eye for all the pre match moaners....

We need to stop conceding, at the moment we have score 2 for a draw and 3 for a win. Maybe his isn't but I'm not sure Kristiansen is any better.
