I think you're conflating the quality with the mentality. This team doesn't have the players with the heads needed to grind out tough situations but if you look at that line up for the championship, you'd have plenty of internationals or guys around their international teams (Okoli) and by far the best 2 players in that league in BEK and Fatawu.

That team somehow looks better than what we're lining up with at the moment. Probably just because Nelson was getting rave reviews and it means there's no sign of those 2 jesters, and the massive difference Fatawu would make to our team. Agree that you'd need Daka to get firing but people who think a team that has those players in is mid table in terms of quality, are just being overly emotional to our current situation.

Ah, yours have got those blue lines on as well? Good to know it's not just me

Spot on. I've said the same thing too. Justin has obviously not had a good season but some of the blame attributed to him has been way over the top. Watch him closely and he's basically being asked to provide the attacking output on the right and the amount of times he's left 2 on 1 defensively (sometimes even 3 on 1), and it's embarrassing. That trend has continued from Cooper's time to RVN and it's only the last few weeks that he's had a bit more cover, and surprise surprise, he's looking way better. The problem with that is that it's meant playing BDR who offers absolutely nothing going forward.

2019 Ricardo is any system, and pretty much any position would be devastating. I think people forget just how ridiculous he was. Far too good for us. As others have said, I think his role is probably as a more conservative full back now or as a midfielder in a 3

I watched a fly by video they had recently with some renders in there and it somehow managed to look more bland than the bowls from the late 90's/early 00's. Sure it will look way better when fully done and some life has been injected into it but currently very unimpressed

Might have failed the old light pollution test based on that image.

Pretty certain we'd be extending the goalless run for infinity with this line up. We simply don't have the full backs/wing backs needed to play 5atb unfortunately

Obviously no free donut. Top's eaten them all by the looks of it

Miles ahead of the others. Actually wants to defend for a start

Did really well today. Massive improvement on his other appearances. He'll need to keep it up as Justin looks crocked

The state of the reaction in this thread . Whinge when we don't have a go and then as soon as we do, everyone cries that we concede

So undeserved. No suprise it's Faes caught in no mans land

Odegaard is so jammy. 3/4 times the ball has deflected straight back to him

Most organised we have looked all season. Cue the early Arsenal goals

He's been way better the past month or 2. Annoying as this is the best we've looked structurally. Couple of quick Arsenal goals incoming

2 or 3 times Faes has just completely left the ball

Yep. Seems a bit underwhelming from a distance but the point is that something organised has been started and we need to keep going now.

Sounded like there was about 3 people shouting we want Rudkin out

No it won't. We're asking for the most basic level of transparency which they refuse to give us. Basic business that the person at the top shoulders the blame.

I like the catchphrase. Though it would probably help if you understood your own point

Seen all of them now and there's mostly good ones in there so completely agree that I'd have ditched the valentine's thing and the tracksuit. Regardless, fair play and big respect to @ozvaldo for putting his money where his mouth is and actually getting the ball moving. There's enough of a coordinated effort and a clear message that this will have an impact, in the right way (assuming some bellends don't ruin it today)

So they can do it again? We had the most catastrophic relegation in PL history and then did absolutely f all to make proper structural changes, so why an earth would you have any faith that they would actually get it right and be willing to take action? They'd only be doing based on the PR nightmare and even if they appointed somebody brilliant, they wouldn't give them the tools to be successful.

But how do you do that in a meaningful way on the side of a moving billboard? I don't disagree with you and maybe Project Reset needs a pre-prepared statement to back up the actions today.

I'm kind of with you but given it's a moving billboard, it's needs to be something impactful that people remember. The crap bit will be if Rudkin endures all this abuse and he's had limited involvement or oversight in all these messes. But ultimately that will be Top's fault for providing us with 0 transparency as to what Rudkin actually does, and being the coward who hid behind Rudkin as he's left there like a pariah to take all the flak
