Last Season
Played: 18
Position: 16
Points: 16

This Season
Played: 18
Position: 14 (Will be worse by Sunday)
Points: 17

Win Ratios
Bielsa: 23.33%
Marsch: 23.81%

We've not moved forward, we are exactly where we were. In trouble!

Except Bielsa was missing his DMF, both CB's, Striker, 10, Wingers, RB and a few others

That's what happens when you're relegation candidates. No luck, run of the ball against you. Leeds absolutely bossed it start to finish but the defence is utter s**t and we don't score enough . The new players (if there are any) have to make an immediate impact otherwise they're down imo.

I dont think that's JM out but, if this is the last straw, the reason is that he played Struijk. Tactics were fine. The form was very good. Just cant ship two goals a game on amateur bs at the back.

Totally agree - why the hell didn't he start Wober ? That's hopefully the last we will see of Struijk at LB.

[A Tourist]

Same old same old, cheated out of 2 pens, a dubious goal for them whilst our dubious goal was ruled out, ah well ,

The man is clearly onside and ours was clearly off. Replay was correct. The VAR on pulling down Rodrigo? Load of horse ####.

[White Riot]

I’m absolutely gutted that we didn’t win that. We were immense, short on quality but immense all the same. Gnonto Adams and Rodders all super.
Villa are a horrible horrible team. I’m afraid Jesse looks frazzled though

Good post OB

[Boo Radley]

Are we unlucky if we keep making the same mistakes at the back?

Correct YS, there is a built in blindingly obvious fault in this team, namely that s**t defence. We knew it going into last summer and here we are again.

Not unlucky - totally self inflicted own goals. If this isn’t fixed then we will go down. We have the form for it now.

[Irish Ian]

that link you shared about tactics was an interesting one.

Cheers I thought so.
Best explanation I have come across.

We get sucked across the pitch too easily and allow too many one on ones.

Did it tonight in the second half too.

[Clitheroe White]

:

i don't think we would have lost had he started Wober. It's always 2 goals conceded every game, and usually down our left.

[SG90]

That's how shite and desperate they are

They filmed the scoreboard ffs

[Orange Box]

He’s certainly been under par since the new contract

Isn’t that often the case

[YorkshireSquare]

We've got some good players, some great players. They need more from the man on the touchline!

Jesse now realises how fkn tough it is when not managing the top sides.

And we're missing Sini, Dallas, Summerville and sold two key players

[Jaydog]

10 for Gnonto from me. When he turns past that player before the goal he has a quick look at the ref in case of a foul then away he goes. I loved that

[Cjay]

Sigh.

That is the sort of game teams in danger of relegation loose.

Play well and lose is a red flag.

Some positives.

Gnonto did well, Adams did well.

But this needs to come to a head soon.

2 wins in 17

And your point is what?

We are a lower PL team around in the table with teams like our self's.

Teams around us have spend 300-400 million in the last few years eg Everton.

It was a good performance with great play from Gnoto and co

[SG90]

If Firpo was putting in the performances Struijk was, he'd be getting slated. Time to be dropped, Aaronson too.

[Boo Radley]

Don’t worry faaip, Marsch will be leaving around the same time as Bielsa did, just to keep the symmetry going.

[Overman]

Are we unlucky if we keep making the same mistakes at the back?

Nothing to do with luck, if we can't do the basics then we'll get punished. We've lost to a mediocre side and 2 wins from the last 18, is not unlucky.

But that's the system, it's what Marsch wants, to become a 3 CB unit. We hear stories of confused players in training and it's clear teams are looking for this and know exactly how to exploit it.
