A way of getting height in the team in a league where set pieces are big. Allows Fellows to pick up the ball from deep rather than playing high up and not having a target man to play off. Without the target man we only have one or two ways out so it gives extra passing options as we cant go long.

Apart from tonight obviously.

Sorry, what? 😂

Well, as I’ve pointed out quite a few times now the formation won’t decide the result. Players doing good things will. So fingers crossed 🤞

Back to the washing up fella

Except for the evidence that when we played 4 at the back we lost so it literally doesn’t. Because, the things that make a difference are player decisions and characteristics and execution. But if you really think either playing an unfit Jelert for an hour, Ryan Fraser or a CB out of position at right back will make a difference when it comes to missing chances from 6 yards or bottling a tackle when a player is running through your team then I’d much rather live in your world. So we defended them reasonably well then?

None of this was needed when we beat these recently. Formation changes being the thing that decides a result is for very simple minded people. Go help with the washing up love.

Just going to check the formation, defence and keeper picked for the victory we had against these just a few weeks ago. BRB.

And yet he didn’t get the results the manager who picks those players has.

How it works in my mind is how it’s always worked. The results aren’t solely a verdict of how good a manager is and other factors like the players are a much bigger factor. Wins or losses. And a club/fanbase which has gone through the amount we have this year probably should know that by now.

Welcome aboard my Russell Martin actually did a good job for us at this level train. Ignore the haters on the outside, we’ll gather who we can along the slow and bumpy journey, I promise you. Probably could have a look at the form under the other manager we’ve had this season and see if there’s any major similarities like for example the squad? But just a thought.

Well I’m just wondering if TE is the issue or if your point of away form precedes him?

Both lost to Will Still and his vast experience

Well my point was experience doesn’t dictate results. Which is not only proven by today. It’s also proven by Sheffield United v Southampton earlier this season (when we had a manager with no experience of this league) and it’s proven by the stat you mentioned that over his 17 games this season Wilder is picking up less points per game than Eckert. It’s also proven by your further start that wilder did better last season than he did this season, so more experience doesn’t mean better results because he’s evidently less experienced last season than he is this season. But yeah, maybe it’s me that’s thick as fuck or trolling or just point out very simple facts that people talking about experience are not making very sensible points.

Anyway, stop thinking the manager dictates the result of the game. Stop demanding managerial changes and expecting different results with the same players. And stop thinking cliche things like experience and formations would also change things. Especially in the face of clear evidence that they don’t.

1 game sample he says as he kindly points out a 17 game sample stat.

Where’s the away games under Martin, Juric, Rusk, Still threads?

Experience mentioned in every post already. How did Chris Wilders team get on today out of interest?

Corrr somebody has had a lonely Xmas.

‘Runs of form come and go unless of course it’s a run of form that underlines my opinion then it’s proof of what I was saying all along.’

This continues to be a player profile problem not a manager problem. We can go through another manager and find ourselves stumped for alternative options again if people like.

MLG gas lighting us with the now’s not the time to buy another striker talk isn’t he?

So glad Turkish has told us he’s going to be fine because I’d have been losing faith with every half arsed tackle otherwise

I don’t disagree but being fairly confident he’s a lot better than his stats show and his stats actually showing it are two different things.

For someone who went off to do hoovering and visit a garden centre after 65 minutes, you posted quite a bit in the match thread during it 😂
