2 shit slow midfielders

[Slim Man]

Making the base of your whole formation is certainly a choice.

No wonder the defence are constantly exposed.

Whose tactical decision is that?
We've been overrrun in every game this season by playing it and it continues now with 2 strikers rather than just an AM and a Striker.

It's certainly a choice. Not a good one, but a choice.

Love to hear the explanation behind it.

Slow means solid. The more solid lads the better

It's not Peck's fault he's shite.

It's also not Peck's fault that Wilder bums him and puts him in the team every week.

I don't really care. But we desperately need to accept we need 3 of them in midfield to win games at this level.

 

[3Cheers4Ramirez]

..... yet there's no trio that can fit together

I'd honestly start Shackleton now

If they're meant to be solid I'd like to point them towards not conceding 7 goals in 3 games

It doesn't matter how many we play in midfield.

Whoever plays in there doesn't have a clue what they're doing because we have no basic strategy, style of play or tactical nous.

The game plan from Wilder is always the same.

Run about a bit, try to get near the ball if you can and see what happens.

Shackleton has more energy than anyone else in the middle of the park. He was the only one who looked like he still wanted to get something out the game. Everyone else other than Donovan had given up at half time.

 

[Guesty]

Peck might not be pulling up any trees, but Riedewald, Phillips, Arblaster and especially Joe fucking Rothwell are all much worse.

I said to my Dad, Shackleton was the only outfield player who didn't embarrass himself in the last ten minutes.

Rothwell is the most pointless midfielder we've had for some time

I was very angry we signed him and angry pretty much every time he made it on to the field.

Oh I forgot, he's a "baller".

 

[Bladesman]

He might be a run around but he gets stuck in. Sadly that energy didn’t rub off on anyone else.

I've rarely seen a team collectively accept a defeat so early. Even at only one behind at the start of the second half they looked done.

Why was Choudhury playing at right back?

 

[Razor_Blade]

Why was Choudhury playing at right back?

Because our right back is injured

 

[bakeblade]

Why was Choudhury playing at right back?

Because our genius manager signed him to play there.

 

[Varkanoid]

We actually need Choudhury in midfield as he is more of a Souza type player with maybe Peck alongside. Doherty must have spat in Wilder's energy drinks bottle.
Trouble is we are overloaded with midfield players who are rubbish in midfield.

 

[penthouseblade]

Because our genius manager signed him to play there.

I thought he was a midfielder?!

 

[bakeblade]

I thought he was a midfielder?!

He was, but we signed him as RB cover - go figure

 

[ThatJa]

I would go 4-3-3

Comparing Choudhury with Souza is a good one

McGuinness has been ok since been bombed out then called upon

Stick him and kitching in CD & Jaf to RB

But Wilder couldn’t wait to fuck him off again, even tho he’s been more solid than tanganga

He’s like that shit dad that says he don’t have favourite child but it’s clear to see he does

 

[blademan31]

The midfielders are just all so similar. I can’t see them scoring 5 between them all season.

They aren’t particularly great at defending, not great at attacking, tidy footballers but just ineffective without creativity around them

 

[Slim Man]

I would go 4-3-3

The only formation that suits the team that we have unfortunately

 

[Bladesman]

 

[penthouseblade]

I guess what I’m really asking is; we had three defenders on the bench, why wasn’t one of them playing right back? It would seem obvious to me to play one of them, not a midfielder for one game.

 

[VictoryBlade]

Rothwell is the most pointless midfielder we've had for some time

Rangers fans thought it but lets sign him anyway, why are our scouts so pathetic?

 

[Borbokisfreekick]

Because our genius manager signed him to play there.

And people saying he was great at right back in the 92 point season are forgetting he was playing right back when we fell apart as a team in the latter stage of the season and it was our right side that Sunderland completely targeted in the play off final.

He’s a shite right back - too slow, immobile, stands off his man, doesn’t defend the back post well enough and doesn’t have the pace to join the attack.

An absolutely crap signing and waste of wages.
