If that defence

I'd throw Cavare back in there for sure. However, Odour is much better than Pinillos in my opinion.

Diaby is clumsy and positionally pretty poor, but he does have alot of presence about him. I sometimes think he can intimidate forwards due to his size and athleticism.

The thoughts of the Austrian and Andersen playing together really worries me.

 

Pinnilos scored in his own goal on 87 minutes .

Think they both have potential, but they've both been very, very bad. Andersen really hasn't been helped by his manager asking him to bring the ball out of defence. Neither should be playing regular Championship football right now. Introduced slowly at the side of an experienced laiker, like Tiler was when we had Futcher and Smith at the club, and both may have looked excellent prospects but to pair them together at this standard of football is madness.

As for the new recruit. I haven't got the words. Revvie P wrote that he tackles in a different time zone, which is genius, hilarious and depressing.

 

Mads Anderson never misses much in the air.
He just doesn't have the ability to play out from the back like the manager keeps asking him.
He must have given 20 goals away from poor playing out.

 

I'd play Pinillos and Oduor.

4 4 ******* 2.

 

Thiam is not good enough. He was n

Who exactly is Thiam a better option than in the first 11?

 

he’s not worse than thomas. He could play behind Woodrow and Chaplin with brown on the wing...

 

He's a lot worse than Thomas. The only quality I can see of Thiams after watching him for 3 years is he can kick the ball really hard. Sometimes they go in, usually they don't.

 

One thing’s for sure if we pick the same team and formation again we will almost certainly lose because repeating the same mistakes we’ll surely come to the same outcome.
For gods sake change something!

 

We change something every week.

The opposition.

The team and formation might work this weekend. Maybe not though.

 

Diaby makes plenty of mistakes but the difference between him & Anderson is that Diaby is lightning quick & really strong so can often recover from his mistakes. It’s quite possible he was so quick & strong because he was on performance enhancing drugs, we’ll have to wait & see.

Whenever I see Dougall play he impresses me, I’m not really sure why he doesn’t play.

Cavare’s the best footballer we’ve got at right back by a country mile, the issue is his mentality. More interested in going forward than stopping goals.

If I was in charge it would be either a 4-3-3.

Radlinger
Williams Halme Anderson Oduor
Thomas Dougall Mowatt
Brown Woodrow Chaplin

Or 3-5-2

Radlinger
Anderson Halme Pinillos
Cavare Dougall Mowatt Oduor
Woodrow
Brown Chaplin

If Diaby becomes available then he takes Anderson’s spot in both sides.

If Ludewig’s sub cameo against Charlton is his usual performance level then he takes the right back / right wing back role.

 

And he let a soft goal in

 

If the manager drops his linchpin signing, the much vaunted experienced centre back from his former club I'll eat my hat & bare my arse on the town hall steps, whilst whistling "blue moon / it's just like watching Brazil".

 

Andersen and Diaby were magnificent on opening day - even though Fulham were poor. I refuse to believe it was a one-off but I do believe they have been hampered by tactics that are too much for them against good opposition now the season has progressed. and by fear of getting it wrong and making a mistake. Mads especially is starting to look scared. Diaby doesn't - but probably is. Scared or spaced-out.

Brilliant but sadly true.....
