This is the number one question for me. Why did we sign Theo and indeed pretty much any of our hatful of wingers? Presumably because the system we are playing isn’t the one that DM envisioned? Until we played him at wingback Theo had never played that position before at any level of football. I suspect it’s this misalignment between our recruitment and our actual needs explains a lot of our current situation. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ellis Rimmer Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 We are going to be a laughing stock when he reaches his potential all the best for the future Theo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SwellOwl Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 Doesn’t look good but can’t argue that we don’t play to his strengths. Hopefully can move on and find a suitable replacement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No misalignment at all..........................DM recruited all summer for 4-2-3-1 which he promptly ditched after 6 weeks.......ALL down to Moore this one. Once we changed to 3-5-2 he should have given Corbeneau free reign in a front two.............that would have made far more sense than f***in wingback. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Misalignment is probably just me trying to use a fancy word. Fûck up is a better one. DM fûcked up by recruiting exclusively for a system we haven’t played after the first few games. Also agree on the Theo in the front two point. Every game where we brought on Berahino I was saying ‘why not try Theo up there?’ Can’t have been les effective that Berahino that’s for sure… 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wasted crosses, shots from good positions straight down the keepers throat. Looks great when the fancy shimmies & flicks come off but usually ends up on his arris or losing the ball. Not that bothered to be honest. ️ No. He was finally given his first start at end of October. Got a run of 4 games where he had 2 goals and 2 assists. He was then dropped. He looked threatening and was our most direct player. Yes it didnt come off every time but neither has a lot of our play. He was held to a higher standard and some of our fans still don't like " fancy dan" players. We have completely wasted the loan and Wolves and Corbeanau are strongly emphasising this. 9 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sternlad Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 The great shame about this is that he seemed to be the most exciting “bums off seats” player that Wednesday had. I remember seeing him interviewed after the game he scored in at home (was it Sunderland?) and he was absolutely buzzing…did the manager capitalise on that enthusiasm and passion? Did he f***. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tewkesbury Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 17 minutes ago, Hoofit said: Hardly a shock to hear this. Be very interesting to compare stats for all our attacking players averaged out per full 90min games played. Wonder what this league table would tell us about contribution & worth? The issue is with this is that most have been played spiradically and out of position all season. Very few have had a run of games in their most effective position. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fpowl Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 Be quite interesting to here the managers and chairman’s view point on this? how do they feel to have a club and player want to cancel their contract to go and play for another league one club? Discuss, it’s embarrassing what we dig clearing the way for Sow 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

onefurlongout Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 By no means the finished article but teams wouldn’t have like playing against his direct style, with some doubling up. Even having him on the pitch creates opportunity for other players to get into the game and exploit space. can you imagine him running at Johnson or exploiting our lack of pace at the back 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was Celtic nicking players from under our noses last January, now it’s MK Dons… . Edited January 7, 2022 by NeonLeon 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
