So called New Deal will see the PL offer the EFL an additional £30m pa for 5 years. It cannot be spent on wages or transfers. Reduction of the parachute payments.

Zonal marking may work for more experienced players but we're very good at leaving spaces for opposition players to move into unchallenged!

Quote Whilst many have said that the zonal marking is the issue, marking zonally is a good way of mitigating against having a smaller team as you get rid of one-v-one matchups By replacing them with one-v-noone?! |

Good explanation about the goals conceded from corners recently - Morris has previous!

As others have said, the 'moneyball' philosophy isn't necessarily wrong, just our approach on it has been. We've been too money-ball and have too high a % of players in the squad as 'players to develop.' Players will develop more by playing well and winning games than making mistakes and conceding crap goals (knocking confidence by not winning games).
The spine of the team is missing - regardless of developing talent, every good team has a big physical centre half, a ball-winning experienced midfielder and a striker who can put the ball in the back of the net. We have 1 out of the 3. Even the GK I'm not too convinced on - excellent shot stopper but how many of the corners that we've conceded have been free headers within the 6-yard box? Perhaps it wouldn't be as exposed if we had an Aidan Flint type centre half who wins the header at every corner, but some blame has to be portioned on Brynn IMO. The frustrating thing is that there is clearly young talent in the squad (Clayton, Lavinier, Hutton, McEachran, Wakeling, Shade to an extent, Hepburn-Murphy), but they don't have the wise experienced heads to help them develop and help them to see out games. I don't think we're too many players short from having a promotion-capable squad, the issue is that the 4-5 that we need would be high-earners that the club clearly doesn't want to fund. |
