It's all about opinions isn't it? Most of us give ours after a game, with hindsight. JB and CC probably have different opinions concerning substitutions while standing on the touchline, at the end of the day JB has to make the call, he won't always get it right. Against Rochdale and Vale I thought we should have gone to a three man centre midfield as we were outnumbered, JB thought differently. Vale were so powderpuff in attack we were ok, Rochdale made us pay.
Offside or not, it was the Dale's second goal that decided the game, it knocked us completely flat and we were very second best after that.
Still, it was one game and I don't think we should write players off yet, as we have before. The obvious ones are people like Grayson, Langmead and JJOT, they all proved us wrong.
Some of the new players have made promising starts, others not so, but let's at least give them a chance. UTC.
Well said EB Claret.
I think JB being an ex-winger himself clearly wants to play with two wide men. I hope he doesn't prove too stubborn like some previous managers have, on Saturday we certainly needed an extra body in midfield. It appears a lot of teams are playing three at the back this season with an extra man in midfield, so we may find ourselves having these conversations again this season.
