I agree with this, but would like us to be a *little* bit more flexible considering the players we have. It was a mistake to play the pressing 2 striker system against Boro for example, and I don't think that's just with hindsight. Even yesterday we made like for like changes positionally when we could have easily brought on someone like Poku a little earlier for a striker and given him minutes whilst beefing up midfield...
It's not a dig and overall I'm obviously delighted to be playing this way and going out to score and win over anything else, but yeah, we have the personnel to switch up occasionally! |

From liability to possibly the most important player in the team - in that there's no direct positional replacement that's close to him.
Clear winner of the Paul Furlong redemption award and I hope he continues to push on. |

A 26 year old on relatively high wages you have to rotate and physically manage to steady performances? He also got tortured for 20mins when the kid came on and is one game removed from Boro where he played like a man concussed!
I think overall he's been a great addition - especially as I personally believe the decision to go with Larkeche would have gone the way of Joe Walsh - and if we sign him perm for a decent price I won't be too upset, but I have to believe there are better / more affordable full backs available... |

Feels very familiar to the Marti situations we saw here. Take some time to figure out what he has, turn the rubix cube a couple of times, then go on a run with some good results. No matter the situation or meagre options here he always found a way eventually, and it looks like they're starting to see that at Leicester.
I expect a much tougher test than if we played them 6.weeka ago, but being at home with a full weeks prep has been good for us so far. |

So we want to go for a 4th starting keeper of the season? I don't see how that can be a benefit unless the person we bring in is levels above what we have. |

Loaning in a keeper would just be more mud in the water...
Loan out Joe Walsh, keep Nardi until the end of the year with Hamer as backup and Solomon as 3rd choice emergency, then buy a first team level keeper in the summer to compete with Mahoney & Walsh in pre-season. |

Nardi isn't playing well, but that goes for a lot of the team right now. Dunne, Varane, Vale, Kone have all regressed the last few weeks. It's a collective drop in form, Nardi is just a part of that.
Putting in an old man with as much time between the sticks as me the last few years would be drastic AF. He wasn't even that good to begin with.
The bed is made, Nardi is the guy until Jan at least. |

He looks more like Josh Allen to me, been amazing so far and think Vrabel is a perfect fit there.
A better year than we're having in Washington... Injuries have been really bad but we've looked awful defensively. Lost 5 games total last season and already at that many by week 8 here... |

Obvs a series rather than a film, but I was really disappointed with this Ed Gein one. I thought Dahmer was great, and the brothers one just meh, but this seemed to be like an American Horror Story with too much artistic licence. I understand the angle, that he was like the Godfather and inspiration for the serial killer / shock horror genre, but I just didn't think it worked at all...
Keen on a cinema trip this week and Predator Badlands isn't out just yet, anyone seen anything good that's on now other than the Springsteen film? New Frankenstein worth a look? |

I've also heard it's not great, but the issue seems to be more their decision to change the UI to fit more for a controller / console player, which seems a poor decision for me as it's always at it's core been a laptop or PC style gaming experience...
I'm tempted to try it but might wait a few weeks until updates kick in and fix some bugs, etc. |

Still only 22, a few years out of non league, playing at this level consistently for the first time in a team still figuring out its identity. The Derby miss was poor, but it's about the only chance he had and he got in the right area, which is the main thing.
His finishing will also improve. I think he can get better looking for the corners, etc and I think there will be times when he's allowed to be the lone striker and have more creativity behind/around him. The start might have set unrealistic expectations for some but he's still learning. I have no concerns with him at all. |

This shows more of what I mean RE fullbacks. In the wrong quarter for both full backs, not enought that it's a huge issue, but something we can address in the future to help move into that top right section and be better on both sides.

Well it's not necessarily about inverted wingers, but we have a lot of players who want to be more central, and when that happens - specifically like it did against Millwall - we don't have the full backs to overlap and support from wide. It's not about protecting full backs, it's about full backs supporting wingers.
As for specific wingers. Saito, Chair, Smyth are all players whose typical position is LW but are right footed and like to come inside. Vale, Dembele, Poku are RW's who are left footed that like to drift centrally. So actually yes - we have focused more on inverted wingers. You could say that these players should just switch wings, but most were brought here or have played the majority of their games in the positions they're in. |

Full back is a problem for how we're supposedly trying to play. We've recruited a lot of inverted wingers, but have exclusively defensive full backs or converted centre backs in the squad and when we have to rely on full backs for width, it falls down.
Not an immediate issue necessarily, but something to look at for next summer perhaps. We're still short the right personnel at full back and central midfield, imo. |
