Pilko Posted March 12, 2023 Share Posted March 12, 2023 Made the right changes to the starting team and the rest/impetus it gave Almiron coming on as a fresh sub against tiring legs thankfully won us the game. Do feel he's being very cautious with Isak, but hopefully that's cemented his starting place today and if he uses Wilson to manage Isak's minutes then that's fine, despite him doing nowt yet again. Was a bit of a mixed bag today in terms of performance - class in patches, rubbish in others, but I said earlier today was about winning in any way possible which we did, just about. Now to build on it and hopefully go on an unbeaten run again Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aiston Posted March 12, 2023 Share Posted March 12, 2023 Deserves credit for the subs. Wolves were all over us that 2nd half and we weren't getting much joy going forward. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Howe reckons he's not fit enough to play 90 minutes, and it's not like we're chucking on Riviere, Wilson is still a good player. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wasn't that happy with the subs either, but fair play, Miggy was fantastic in the time he came on. Never saw him as a match winner off the bench before, but I think he needed to be dropped to be reminded that his job is to attack the opposition. He looked really aggressive when he came on, and that's down to Eddie for me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Prophet Posted March 12, 2023 Share Posted March 12, 2023 As expected Howe confirms that he isn't fit enough to execute the press for 90 minutes yet (paraphrasing). Playing him for 60-70 minutes and bringing him off is absolutely the right call though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Menace Posted March 12, 2023 Share Posted March 12, 2023 Feel he got it spot on today, subs also. Would like to see Targett involved soonish though. Feel him and ASM link up very well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Prophet Posted March 12, 2023 Share Posted March 12, 2023 Loads getting stuck into him for the subs as though i) Isak wasn't running on fumes ii) it caused Trippier to slip and cost us a goal. Bizarre stuff. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AyeDubbleYoo Posted March 12, 2023 Share Posted March 12, 2023 Thought Howe was class today. After Wolves made their subs and started having some joy, I noticed he called Burn over and had a word. After that Burn was engaging Neto higher up and really stifling him better. Could be reading too much into it but it’s nice to see those changes being made.

Dokko Posted March 13, 2023 Share Posted March 13, 2023 Needs to rotate more. The team looks spent. I understand he wants to keep a winning or unbeaten team but I don't see the milage of that when players are hanging. The small pool of quality squad doesn't help, especially when you throw all your eggs in one basket and he's then out for weeks/months (twice that's happened now) but we've got to get fresh legs and minds into the team quicker than we do. Our fullbacks are both liabilities at present and one of them, their quality cannot be questioned, therfore it's got to be fatigue. God help us if we qualify for Europe.

The Prophet Posted March 13, 2023 Share Posted March 13, 2023 The problem at full back has been the lack of options to replace Burn or Tripper. Hopefully with Targett and Ashby coming back to fitness, we'll be able to manage their minutes more. I actually thought other than the slip, Trippier was excellent yesterday. It was also Burn's best game in the league for a while. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He clearly feels more confident starting with quality but tired players, rather than rotating with shite but not tired players. There's a group of lads on the bench that I hope never get on the pitch for us again. They have a decent attitude and are contributing to squad harmony but they're miles off the standard we're aiming for on the pitch. This is a transition season, try not to stress and just enjoy the ride for what it is. Edited March 13, 2023 by bobbydazzla Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I couldn't understand why he didn't get a shout off Pope. I was sat thinking 'easy collection for Pope', then all of a sudden sat wondering what the fuck had just happened.
