Yes I am aware of that.
But not at any cost


Lol, so you made an incorrect statement in the original post.

Unfortunately it would appear that the new manager hasn't really changed the set up of the team since taking over. Why insist on paying wing backs when all this does is motivate the central defenders to go wide. It would be ok if the two holding midfielders then dropped into the centre, but they don't and this leaves a massive gap straight through the middle which teams are exploiting. Make defenders defend to start with and at least we might stop shipping so many goals. Billy basics I'm afraid, at least until we recruit players of a higher calibre.

You need to do better research.  The board actually said they wanted to see this style of play, that's another reason why DA was their first choice.  Look it up!



The board have also said they want to follow a data-driven approach which is why I find it highly puzzling that they want to decide the style in advance. The data if anything should dictate the style of play. The only metric that matters is expected points per game. If their preferred style (even if it is dubbed by them "The Grimsby Way") proves sub-optimal I hope they are rigorous enough to change tack.

Very insightful from you as always.

One day you might make a useful contribution but I'll not hold my breath.

We’re not playing with wing backs! It’s a flat back four alternating between an out of form Rodgers and an out of legs Waterfall at RCB.

Someone who sells themselves and isn’t everything that they crack themselves up to be in a scam or fraudulent way. Bit like our current Prime Minister if you like.
