Popular Post Luke Posted December 31, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted December 31, 2021 If this kid has any ambition in the game he should be on the phone to his agent demanding a move elsewhere Seriously don't know how he doesn't get a start The only pace and ability in out team to take on a man Players at the club are shoe ins to start no matter how awful they play. Yet theo has 2 or 3 decent games ,never to be seen in the starting lineup again Another baffling decision by donkey Darren 33 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SiJ Posted December 31, 2021 Share Posted December 31, 2021 Honestly, I think he's only really played the kid begrudgingly. Chucked him in and he did better than Moore thought/hoped he would and he had to play him more regularly. Still hasn't stopped Darren trying to find an alternative, whether it be Shodipo or now Medenz Laing. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WalthamOwl Posted December 31, 2021 Share Posted December 31, 2021 (edited) Moore is absolutely clueless. Theo should be one of the first names on the team sheet. Moore seems to really not want to play him for whatever reason. Playing people like Shodipo ahead of him is mind boggling Edited December 31, 2021 by WalthamOwl 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nethertonowl Posted December 31, 2021 Share Posted December 31, 2021 Everyone assuming Moore, is the only person with any input in this. I would imagine Wolves also have a say. He came on last night but only ran at Sunderland once. Every other time there were no options in front of him and he turned back and kept possession. . there is far more to a young players development than giving them their head and saying go rip it up.! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
striker Posted December 31, 2021 Share Posted December 31, 2021 The only player at times who looks like he might trouble the opposition goal. The type of player I pay money to watch. Someone who runs at players, not turn round and run away looking for a backwards pass. Wasted at wing back though, as are the miriad of other wingers we recruited 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oneeyedmilkman Posted December 31, 2021 Share Posted December 31, 2021 I would assume there’s reservations on Moore’s part on corbeanu’s ability to do the defensive side. I wouldn’t argue this, but my question would be “why would any manager ask him to defend?!” We signed all those players over the summer and yet we’re relying on corbeanu, Mendez-laing and shodipo to play left wing back in a back 5?! I’m not in the ‘Moore out brigade’, but I suspect a lot of managers given this squad would go 433 and get far more goals than we’re currently getting 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post sheffwed1 Posted December 31, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted December 31, 2021 Tore them apart when we played them at home yet doesn’t start him in the return game. Moore is off his head. No fit centre backs so he sticks with a formation that requires 3 of them (we have only got away with this in most games due to the standard being so bad at this level). Sign 7 or 8 wingers then change to playing wing backs after a few games. Unfortunately I think we are stuck with Moore for a while yet. 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

itsonmyhead Posted December 31, 2021 Share Posted December 31, 2021 His unwillingness to play him is baffling , first won’t give him a chance to do well then just won’t play him when he has done well ??? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest 123adam789 Posted January 1, 2022 Share Posted January 1, 2022 We have a chain reaction at this club. A chairman who simply as no idea about the game of football or how a football club is run. Therefore we cannot expect him to recruit the right manager for the job( im not saying I would) but neither am I the chairman). Poor manager is appointed who cannot identify the kind of players who are going to fight for the shirt., tactically inept, journeyman on decent saleries, not doing sufficient home work on those who are and have been injury prone. so and so on.. The club is on its knees and I cannot see gaining promotion ( a long shot at this stage) will sort out the ongoing problems with this club. Quite depressing. Wouldnt it be nice to either read on this forum or local rag something positive (apart from covid) coming from this club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well to be fair Chansiri has appointed some good managers on paper, the latest manager is the only one who doesn't have a great track record but he was doing a decent job at Rovers. The problem is now we can see he's clearly not the level we need but he persists with him. The thing that frustrates me with Moore is that he's dogmatic in his approach but his approach has never worked save for half a season at Rovers, so why does he persist with it? 3 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, it’s a great question isn’t it His system absolutely baffles me, and I really don’t know how much of it is down to the injuries , do fear that this is the system Moore wants to play Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S72 Owl Posted January 1, 2022 Share Posted January 1, 2022 Hopefully if we can bring in a decent CB or Hutch is finally fit I can see him reverting to his favoured 4-3-3 formation. Corbeanu and Mendez Laing on the wings should cause problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

prowl Posted January 1, 2022 Share Posted January 1, 2022 He just isn't very good defensively and he's a bit lightweight. To get the best out of him you need to play to his strengths and Moore doesn't do that. Moore tries to change what we do depending on the opposition, sometimes he picks warriors like Paterson who might lack skill but they won't be intimidated, sometimes he goes for more ability. Against Sunderland we set up for a war and lost it. Personally I think that sort of thing is fine in the Premiership but at this level it's better to have a team that is settled and then play to their strengths, let the opposition worry about us. We don't do that and we are where we are as a consequence. Play Carbeanu on one wing and probably Mendez Laing on the other, 2 strikers up top or a striker and an attacking midfielder. Let them learn how to play together and leave them to it. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigthinrob Posted January 1, 2022 Share Posted January 1, 2022 Some excellent insightful posts in this thread. Some absolutely word for word what we have been discussing re the baffling decisions from our ‘manager’. He promised us a front foot, attacking style at all costs. He lied. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McRightSide Posted January 1, 2022 Share Posted January 1, 2022 I don’t think he’s played anywhere near enough but I kind of understand why he didn’t start Clearly NML is better defensively and more physical. I can’t remember which goal it was but either the 4th or 5th came from Corbeanu completely losing his man allowing him to cross the ball freely. I fully expect he’ll start tomorrow with as I think Moore was looking at these two fixtures as a pair to manage the squad through - that’s my interpretation at least 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
