They're snot to be sniffed at.
Its the GOLF between us
Let’s have Roberts up front and pepper him with balls and see what he can do with the service. With Willock back, Laird crossing balls and Ilias passing through he could get on to plenty of balls. A few goals from that would be good to see and as the defenders get tired give Armstrong 25-30 minutes to tire them further.
No mercy and a Beale bounce back will be just what the doctor ordered.

Dou you mean Roberts? I think Richards is out with a thigh injury for another month or so. Think he's more a midfield player as well, an 8 type I heard.
Indeed Oslo. Thanks for the correction - changed it. Just too many R’s
. I think we just give home a go up there. Has to be better than we’ve been getting from Dykes so far.
Roberts is not a striker, this is one of the reasons he struggled with the fans at Leeds. His best position is as an attacking midfielder or a no.10 as they are now known.
I thought he was the best player on the pitch on Tuesday, bar his shooting which was hurried and wayward. Where would you play Chair and Willock with him?
Apparently Richards is an attacking midfielder as well.
With who's available Beale should go with this
Dieng
Laird Dickie Dunne Paal
Field
Dozzell Chair
Roberts Willock
Armstrong
Dieng
Laird Dickie Dunne Paal
Field
Dozzell Chair
Roberts Willock
Armstrong
Well depending on willocks fitness which is totally random at the moment and based on current form, Roberts would be starting instead of Chair. I know he scored and crossed for dieng but his overall play has been dissapointing and I'm one of his biggest fans.
I would actually play field and dozzell as holding midfielders and put chair in the middle of Roberts and willock. That attacking 4 would be frightening
I thought he actually was our best player aswell. Not everything always comes off for Tyler but he never gives up. That tracking down of 3 players against Blackpool showed up some of our other players. As a coach/manager, I would be fuming that nobody else hunted the ball with him.
The press has to be coordinated, surely? It's no good one player pressing and others joining in belatedly. Someone has to call it.
It's down to the manager to implement it as Bielsa and Klopp have. Then it's down to the captain on the pitch to lead and the other players to follow. If the manager hadn't implemented correctly into training you end up with 1 or 2 sporadically doing it and it's futile. With Johansen and Dykes on the pitch it's never gonna work anyhow, they simply don't have the lega to do it.
I wasn't asking you. Anyway, lega? What's lega?
Keep reading.
It was the press by Dykes and Johansen that created the chance that Dykes fluffed, remember?

No need to get narky is there, you stupid little boy ! Lega is legs but a little thing called dodgy mobile phone put in the wrong letter, no need to jump out of your pram again. If you think that Johansen has the legs to press for more than 45 mins you've lost it, yes he pressed on a few occasions but his overall performances have been dire for a long time because his legs are shot.
One would like to think so. As soon as Roberts made the initial press, that's when dykes and Chair should have hunted with him. It lifts the crowd, it lifts the players, it installs belief and it shows willing.
