Rothwell & Jairo

[Carlton Blade]

Rothwell looks decent when we can play on the front foot. He's a waste of a shirt when we can't.

This should be obvious to Wilder by now, but unfortunately we have 5 versions of the same player. Would genuinely be better off playing Peck and Choudhury in there when we are going to have to defend

 

[Greasy Chap Butty]

He was worse than that.

Indeed, he set a nearly impossible low bar.

I expect Riedewald to be moved on in January

I dont know where people access individual stats on players , passes , distance covered etc , but it would be Intresting to compare.

Only mentioning this as a few years ago I was in discussion with mates regarding lundstrum, he was getting pelters but his stats were better or equivalent as any other midfielder at the time .

Stats don't tell the whole story but they do sometimes contrast with the popular belief .

Still?
What on earth is there to celebrate about that disaster? Apart from the day he went.

He’s also symptomatic of the debacle of the 2025-26 pre season: BordAI, the emperors new clothes, the stupidity of the Yanks and their tragic gullibility.

And we’re still feeling the pain of the affects of it now. It’s not a once and done. The damage was deep rooted and will take years to clear.

So, yes, still moaning about that shit show, now.

Leeds supporting mate of mine has been quite shocked at how passive Rothwell is now. For Leeds he was very good at getting the ball forward swiftly. Maybe it’s because he has no one showing for him but what I see is his head down and the first movement is to turn back.

His highlight reel showed him receiving the ball and instinctively turning and running. I don't think I've seen him do that once.

All the crap behaviours - no marking, no pressing, long balls down the channels, sideways and backwards passing etc MUST be part of the "tactics", there's no way all of these players are unable to the basics, it has to be the instructions.

Having 7 midfielders all very similar is odd.

It's called OCD. No I'm not even taking the piss.
