Some stats don't tell you owt, we know that, you just have to watch the games to see that he doesn't influence them and they seem to pass him by. I think the stat was progressive passes, and for him that could be getting the ball and playing it out to Harrison or Gnonto on the left.  Cardiff wa

Yes, at times we looked to be 433 with Harrison on the left of the midfield 3. As Rich says though, I’m not convinced by either Greenwood or Roca in central midfield and certainly not Aaronson. Roca is a mystery though. I keep seeing people posting metrics on Twitter that show him in a very posi

I thought Harrison seemed to be playing more centrally last night - not out on the touchline. I wonder if that’s part of a longer-term plan; wouldn’t hate the idea of him in the middle of the pitch… Sent from my iPhone > On 19 Jan 2023, at 14:46, Nick wrote: > > As we were leaving last night

I agree it's a problem position but it's a nice problem to have.  I think a bigger problem is who plays alongside Adams. I think we need Adams to protect the back 4 which means we need a player who can go box to box alongside him. That's not Roca or Greenwood. I think we look vulnerable i midfie

No 10 would appear to be the 'problem' position At No.9 we have Rodrigo, Bamford, Rutter, Gelhardt - cant drop Rodrigo at the moment For wingers we have Gnonto, Harrison, Sinisterra, Summerville and i think Rutter can play there as well For No.10 an out of form Aaronson - who i think Jesse p

I think he has to drop Aaronson. He is behind Gnonto, Rodrigo and Bamford on impact alone; he is also behind Harrison who had a quietly effective game yesterday - I noticed he was doing a lot of shouting and organising of Gnonto and Firpo up and down the left, he also set up the 2nd and 3rd goal

Rich said "Interesting team selection dilemma for Sunday. Nice to have but you surely can't ignore Bamford" I am pretty sure Rodrigo will start and his recent performances and goal scoring means he deserves it, but Paddy is certainly looking good.Jesse also needs to work out if Sinisterra shoul

A game of two halves again. And again, even against drek, we reverted to form. It simply will not do. I am extremely pessimistic about this season and do not see how one game can change anything. The writing has been on the wall for some time now. We are careering straight into the wall regar

A real ‘novelty’ of a cup match to have it won so early, albeit against hapless opponents. But of course, the same defensive frailties as soon as a team starts to push forward - it started when Llorente fluffed his role, fell over to ‘cover his mistake’, and from then on they started to look ner

Imagine where we’d be if we didn’t start every game basically 2-0 down. Defence still a shambles like you say. On Thu, 19 Jan 2023 at 09:09, Richard Walker via Leedslist < leedslist@gn.apc.org> wrote: > you say Cardiff offered nothing but that actually scored 3 goals and had > another couple of

you say Cardiff offered nothing but that actually scored 3 goals and had another couple of good chances which shows how fragile our defence is at the moment.  Credit to Marsch though for actually picking a strong side and going after them which has worked well because everyone goes into the Bre
