I have noticed that there is now an acceptance of Mickey taking of our great leader. By me, as well, I'll admit.
A quote from Melchett in Blackadder says it best:
"If nothing else works, a total pig headed unwillingness to look facts in the face will see us through"
There appears to be only one person taking this view.
How can any professional coach think putting Emerson Royal in a central creative role think that is OK. If he is pigheaded enough not to change the way we play, fine, put someone in the role who is technically proficient at it. Maybe even Kulu if the opposition is sitting back so much, he has played RWB before.
I could see what was going to happen yesterday, I was halfway through typing it when they scored their winner, so I didn't bother.
Imagine this, getting caught by Chelsea!
Object of Fun!

I think Ange should have played three at the back yesterday with Dragusin coming in.
Royal is ok if we are gonna sit back but going forward he’s crap so needs to be moved on. Massive drop off in qualify when Porto and Udogie are out.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
What formation ahead of the three man defence would you have played?

Ange doesn’t have his squad yet, give him time, I’m sure we would have won if we had at least one of Porro and Udogie on the pitch

Not what I would do, but 5-3-2
Son and Ricky up top
Bisso (if fit after Malaria) Bents/Sarr Madders
Defence picks itself

People keep saying he doesn't have his squad, agreed.
But don't ask unsuited players to do what they can't because you refuse to make any tactical changes

So Emerson and Davies as wing backs? Hmmm
No room for Kulu even though he offered the most out of all three up top. Harsh.
And then we play Palace at home in two weeks. Just revert back to 4 3 3 or still with the new formation?
I don't get it. All to accommodate another CB. Might as well bring back Jose 🤷🏻♂️.

I didn't say I wanted 3 cb''s, someone asked someone how they would set up with 3 central defenders, so I threw my pennys worth in.

Why has Dragusin not got a start, surely a better option than playing Royal, juggle the back line according
----------------------------------------------------------------------
He only starts if Micky or Romero are injured for me. Has he ever played right back? He is a big unit. How would you juggle the back line according?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Yes, Draguisin can, and does, play RB.
We've had that discussion on here before!

" Yes, I was disappointed with yesterday’s result, but we have struggled with playing teams who employ a low block and because of our high line are susceptible to the counter attack, which was proved yesterday."
*******************
We will see more teams play Aussieglue the way Wolves played yesterday.
Park the bus, let us play the outrageous high line from side-to-side with no shots at goal on target, and then....when they get the ball....just a big boot downfield and run after it like hell, get there before Vicario and boot it in goal.
Alternatively....the corner in to an unmarked header.
Is Aussieglue wondering what's wrong? Oh yes, we're playing wonderful-to-watch football, everybody likes it....especially when they win!
So..it can't be our football tactics, can it?
AussieGlue has world class defenders in the squad...Romero, VDV, Udogie and Draguisin (yet to see a minute of play)....why doesn't he play a little DEFENCE now and then?
I like Aussieglue.....but....someone has got to take him aside and talk a little tactical sense into his Aussie head.
Otherwise we'll see more Wolves eating our supper!

so far we got done when we had players missing in key positions like Udogie and Porrro and then faced a side happy to sit back shamelessly and play five in the midfield and hit us on the break!
That’s happened couple of times at least
