Genuinely would put Belloumi in on the right wing, Jaden on the left...**** knows who at lb, but yeah only Pandur and Belloumi would slot in to last years team from what i've seen

Considering how much time we spent in the prem under Bruce.....that's all the more impressive
You keep it real too.
You might not like the style or think it can work but there's been improvements in the last 5 games never mind since friendly number 1.
If the improvements don't translate to points on the board then of course the writings on the wall but they are there.
I don't think it will have been higher last year. We've got a much bigger squad now for one thing which must inflate the wage bill. Yes last season we had Carvalho and Giles who were proven and must've cost a decent wage but we also had a lot of unproven young players in the squad who you'd think would be pretty cheap.
Surely xGD would be the stat to look at, rather than pure xG, assuming you're going to put value in these stats at all.
Similar over how many? Last 6? They have taken double the points we have. They’ve lost none, we’ve lost 3.
Who told you “everybody” wanted him & his 22 points.
It’s the lack of tactical flexibility that bothers me. Other than the odd game where he’s thrown an extra striker on in the last few minutes in desperation, he just makes like for like substitutions. When the opposition make tactical adjustments to combat our system (usually successfully) there’s no attempt from him to make any tactical changes to swing the game back in our favour.
I also don’t want my club playing a system that forces its players to actively avoid playing through the centre of midfield.

Reality? They’re 5th we’re as good as in the bottom 3 & dropping rapidly. Wake up
Look at my reply, they’ve actually been in worse form than us.
Before we got Walter he was a name that was mentioned lots and even before we got LR.
They had a slightly better start to us which is understandable considering we didn’t have our team until after the Leeds United game.
One excuse after another. Other teams had new managers & players, managed to hit the ground running.
Cardiff having a go, as are Stoke. Thought they’d need to at least Easter to get sorted.
Guess it’s only Walter who isn’t capable.
It’s not an excuse, it’s just context as to why we’re not doing as well as quickly as other teams. Anyway Walter is here to stay at least this season so let’s judge then.
Go over this “slightly” better start they had.
I make it 3 draws & 2 defeats for us & a league cup loss
I make it 4 wins & 1 draw for them & a league cup defeat.
3 points v 13, just a slightly better start.
