We started the season playing defensively and have since progressed to a more attacking way of playing, with increased shots per game through the unbeaten run. We also conceded more as a result, together with howlers from the goalie and defenders. We took an absolute hammering at Sunderland and had barely any defenders to play in our last match so sensibly tried to build a bit of confidence by trying to keep a clean sheet. But that was an exception. We have some pretty poor players it has to be said , but I do not think your criticism of Moore starting attacking and going defensive stands up to scrutiny at all. 3 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shezzas left peg Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 There's a few on here that said he would due to Moore not giving the lad enough game time, so to be honest, pretty much expected. Will probably go to M. K. D, get straight into the side and play nearly every game injury permitting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
@owlstalk Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 A key line from Matt Jackson, who looks after Wolves' loan players, on Theo Corbeanu's recall: "He has now an opportunity to go to MK Dons and get some regular game time until the end of the season, in a formation which is best suited for him." 4 Owlstalk Shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to Moore, he met with Wolves a few weeks ago and "had a nice cup of tea" and they were happy with everything. I reckon the cup of tea discussion went like this: "So will you be giving our lad more time on the pitch?" "Not sure I can guarantee that but will try" "And in his natural position? In a formation that works for him?" "Ahhh no mate - that's not gonna happen. I'm not changing my formation no chance' Judging by this below...

Ah, did they have a 5 a side game at the Christmas party & played Theo at wingback then? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meggoisgod Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 its even more embarrassing that he is going so he can play in his correct position and get more regular game time. Well done Darren and thanks for this ridiculous formation 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were Thats true Although most would point to not being able to win, only avoiding losses Either way the season is a total mess right now Wonder how the rest of the squad are feeling about formations and players out of position too 4 Owlstalk Shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hence why we had a winger, stiff and full back for most of the sunderland game back there. i am sure they feel a bit aggrieved at us only signing has beens, never beens, cheap kids from opposition stiff squads, crocks, unreformed bad boys, recontracting notoriously unreliable fading defensive midfielders etc etc but as you say that is a function of being banned from buying good players for years, not much the current manager can do about that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well done Darren and thanks for this ridiculous formation Sad to see Theo leave, but would we have wanted our manager to change the formation to suit a young loan player, who we just deveop for Wolves? It might make sense to play a different formation around your own players, but not for loan players. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DIPPS_S.W.F.C Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 Good luck to him.... Looked good a for a few games but,thought he was a bit lightweight to be honest bit like my old favourite Reach.Crap at defending too. shame because there was a player in there.Prob best winger we had until Laing came in.Its nows his chance if DM plays him.

parkfieldowl14 Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 Sadly, given this sorry state of affairs, It going to make a lot of PL/ Championship clubs even more reluctant to loan out development players to a club like ours and you cannot blame them for that.

DIPPS_S.W.F.C Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 Is it really that big a loss? Worth Meltdown mayhem,did you watch game last 2 games he was crap.Lets bring on our own players and in our formation we play with wingbacks not out and out wingers.He was not one.Although sometimes exciting when on ball.Windass,Kamberi and Laing with Gregory mixing it up alot better options and can put a tackle in.

Bigblueowl Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 If it frees us up to sign a centre half then so be it. imo Mendez and Johnson are better wingers than Theo. Donig numerous step overs and generally getting a weak shot off isn't enough. I'd Much rather have somebody to get the ball onto gregorys nuggin. Theo doesn't do that. Theo is decent but certainly not as good as he's been made out to be. He's greedy and weak. Get a good centre half and play Mendez on the wing and we'll forget about Theo within a few games. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Southie_Owl Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 Funny old game, not long ago we were beating Aston Villa in the championship. Today they signed Coutinho on loan whilst a player leaves us in favour of playing for MK Dons. I say funny, I mean frigging tragic 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
