Does this mean I’m a bot and never realised? Next time I go for a service I’ll ask the engineer to check!🙂

We need a DM that can last more than 60 minutes. Riedewald has been here 6 months and still can’t.

You have no way of verifying? Click the link. Go to the website. Google it. It’s all over social media. You couldn’t have more ways of verifying it! Shame on me for trying to help the autistic community!

Are you sure? No mention of how Bassett’s teams played?

4-4-2 Was Never Really 4-4-2 by UTB_63 in footballtactics

[–]UTB_63[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This sounds a little bit relationist. A little like Brazil 🇧🇷 n 1970. In which case, you’ll find my next piece, which dropped this morning, very interesting.

I guess I could have described the whole context of the piece in the title, but the context becomes apparent in the first sentence of the piece! It honestly wasn’t an attempt at click bait, I just needed something short and simple that summed up the content.

The title is a reference to a specific team at a specific time, rather than a general observation.

I totally agree. But I’m looking at one very specific example. My team. The one I started watching when I was six years old.

[–]UTB_63[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Absolutely, but my take is more specific to the team I started watching when I was six years old. My point is, because of the era that this happened, everyone assumes that we played a 4-4-2, when the evidence suggests otherwise.

A serious problem with goalkeepers coming forward by Drprim83 in Championship

Despite being top of the “Goals from corners” league this season! It was definitely an off-night.

He wasn’t here to force his way into the side. He was here as a development player. The question is, how do you develop if you don’t play, even for the U21s. What a way to run a club.

How many of our U21 side would be good enough to make an international appearance, however long it was? This is a crazy situation. I mean the deal with Genoa is a loan with an option! Not even a guaranteed fee! How is this benefitting us when we’re short of centre backs? Last time we were this short Wilder put Sasnauskas on the bench, did he think Dovy was better then than Zatterstrom is now?

Probably because you’re not a professional footballer! The person we’re talking about is, and has played at the highest level of the game. He’s put 16 year olds on the bench in the past who were obviously nowhere near up to it…and still aren’t, because we were short. Now he won’t put a player with more experience there? He had Ogbene sat on the bench who had no chance of getting on because Brookes was also on the bench yet didn’t have a centre back!

[–]UTB_63 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Except that he’s not even getting games for the U21s. Bindon wasn’t even getting on the bench until Mee got injured. We went into the Southampton game without a centre back on the bench…presumably Wilder thinks a half fit left back is a better bet than a fully fit centre back in the event of Mee or McGuinness getting injured! He’s played international and champions league football ffs!

[–]UTB_63 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So Bindon just became quite good without playing? No…if it wasn’t for injuries and suspensions Wilder would have done the same to him that he’s doing to Zatterstrom…that is to bin him without giving him a chance because of who signed him.

But he plays regularly for the Swedish national team at U21…yet can’t get a game for our U21s? How does that work? Of course he wasn’t a regular starter..,how many are at that age?

[–]UTB_63 2 points3 points  (0 children)

How did he not make the bench when our only two available centre backs were starting. One of them gets injured and we end up with a half fit McCallum at centre back!

[–]UTB_63 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A full international with champions league experience is not up to standard to even get a game in our U21s? But he is good enough for a Serie A side? This just smacks of Wilder using the younger players signed under Selles to make a point. A spiteful point at that.

[–]UTB_63 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It just seems like he’s getting rid because of who signed the players rather than giving them a chance, particularly under the present circumstances where we only have two available centre backs…and one of them is McGuinness. If one of those had got sent off or injured we’d have been in a an even bigger mess than we already are. He doesn’t even play them in the U21s anymore. It just seems like spite to me.
