Walt Posted December 16, 2017 Share Posted December 16, 2017 10 minutes ago, SiJ said: A physical presence in midfield and some pace in the channels... That's what we needed after Wembley. Instead, we ended up signing more of the same. Yeah, it was pretty obvious. Most people look back to this match and pin point where we should have made the signings to take us to the next level but I think we had the puzzle sussed when we played Arsenal in the cup. I can never fathom why those tactics weren't ever (or rarely at best) used again or players brought in to fit that system. We went 433- Hutch, Lee and Bannan in central midfield with Helan and Wallace wide and Joao as the lone striker. FF wasn't available for the cup game but you'd imagine he'd have thrived in either Helan's or Wallace's role. That side baring injuries did not need much tinkering with to gain promotion imo. maybe a more consistent / better version of Joao and another tricky winger would have done it? That side had a lovely balance to it and a look of defensive compactness which CC loves plus it gives him bodies in midfield to stop him being outnumbered which he is now so concerned about that he pulls the wide players inside...and then our problems start. That side and formation for me should have been the blueprint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owls2k Posted December 16, 2017 Share Posted December 16, 2017 2 hours ago, Kevan said: Speaking of interesting comments - I just watched the match back this afternoon and one comment by the commentator was that Wolves had recruited specifically for the system that they wanted to play and all their players know the system and are committed to it. Compare that with our piecemeal and uncoordinated recruitment resulting in an unbalanced squad and Carlos playing square pegs in round holes and you can see immediately the difference between the two clubs. Yet another reason why we need a change of Head Coach and also makes it clear to see that it will take 2 to 3 seasons to get the squad back to where it should be, bearing in mind the ages and contract length of some of the current squad. It didn't help that we brought in Joao and Matias on long term deals thinking we'd be playing 4-3-3, only for Carlos to change this as soon as the seasons started.

vulva Posted December 16, 2017 Share Posted December 16, 2017 The most bizarre signing has been Boyd. Played 1,498 consecutive games for Burnley, probably on huge money, number 1 target etc and his leg drops off as soon as he comes here, not long after Carlos noted he can't play in our system. Not been seen since. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The only way is S6 Posted December 16, 2017 Share Posted December 16, 2017 Insane. A wide player, with a bit of pace who can cross a ball. Does DC know he's paying these people? That black hole of signings must be nearly full. FFS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ronio Posted December 17, 2017 Share Posted December 17, 2017 Why the need to take down any Carlos supporters? You see fans will get hounded on here time and again.

Because it's well and truly bizzare that he's got any supporters left at all, these are the people that are obviously okay with mediocrity or even worse, a relegation battle, because that's what we're heading for right now. Baffles me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IN MY OPINION he is a parasite that is fully prepared to kill the host to ensure his own survival. I'm sick of pulling my punches. He isn't nice or decent, if he was he would resign. The cuckoo needs booting from the nest. WOW! People are waking up at last! I said this sort of thing ages ago and was shot down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McRightSide Posted December 17, 2017 Share Posted December 17, 2017 Disgruntled former employee slates ex-boss who fired him. I think the medical team should have spent less time gossiping on nights out for a start. Players, coaches, injuries, tactics... Nothing was off limit for them.

This is so bang on. He inherited a very solid side - half of which (Westwood,Lees, Loovens, Hutchinson and Lee) he’d probably still pick now if everyone were fit. He’s spent £35m on top and we’re no further forward. And what people rarely mention is that he hasn’t had to sell a single first-team squad player, not one, in 3 years. Not even the best managers at the biggest clubs in the world get that luxury. And yet despite all that he’s failed in his objective and actually taken the club slowly backwards in the last 18 months. But his boss - who seems to know very little about football - inexplicably keeps him in the job. I’d say he’s the luckiest manager we’ve ever had.

Ash-Williams Posted December 17, 2017 Share Posted December 17, 2017 Lost all respect for him when he hung FF out to dry, Knowing full well what the fans reaction would be. when saying FF wouldn't play on the left, He missed the bit out where the reason being he was forced to play carrying an injury and couldn't actually get up and down the left wing, Not as carlos tried to make out that he had spat his dummy out. He hung JR out to dry after the play offs which was exactly what a striker with no confidence needed. Then you have playing Westwood against United with a rib injury, Lee being rushed back all the time etc etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
