The defeat wasn't Bednarek's fault. It was the fault of the muppet who set us up to let Wolves own the midfield when they were down to ten men.

And the one they lost was actually an influential midfielder.

I do blame Janny B a bit though. He does seem to look like an accident waiting to happen and has traits IMO of the Nathan Jones school of blaming everyone else around him.

It's easy to blame Bednarek. Too easy. It's become an accepted trope that Bednarek is the source of our problems. Even when he reacts with an "oh ****" arm wave, people on here can't accept that it might just be aimed at himself. Scapegoating is easy.

Their first goal he was in position on the line and almost blocked it, after which he was off balance and couldn't get his feet out of the way. It happens. I've done it. Watch their second goal again. If after doing so you blame Bednarek (as others on here have done), I'll eat my trousers.

He's a Polish International defender and was a solid part of our central defence for a long time. I suspect that Bednarek and DCC would be a formidable pairing.

He is utterly awful, I can’t believe anyone is defending him.

Literally a huge huge mistake bringing him back. He looked PL quality a while ago, but he is league one quality now

I don’t think we can blame Jan either, to be honest. Why is he having to block a shot on the line when we are a man up? We never took the game under control.


I enjoyed some of that match - but everything I liked was down to individual brilliance rather than how the team was set up!

Massive lack of composure by the entire team. Kept giving it away & didn’t control the game at all
 
Actually, we were quite hoping you could have a go at managing the team....

Yeah I'll give it a go, I'm not great with tactical bits and bobs(stuff!) but I feel that any number of regular people could at least match some of the dross managers the Premier League has seen, it's all overly complicated by some when it can be simple.

1-0 up with a man advantage at home, just go for it and make it count, don't panic and play it super safe!

Also I have played hours of Championship Manager, Football Manager, Premier Manager and plenty of other management games over the years!

Make a start with the Chelsea thread!
 
Yeah I'll do it tonight, excuse the ignorance but do I just create a new thread as normal and someone else will sticky it?

Is there any format to follow or do I pretty much do what I want, within reason obviously!

Yep create it with the prefix (in the dropdown) Matchday thread and fill your boots!

Chilcs, Tom or Brendy will sticky it when they see it and unstick this one :)
