[Albion] Do Forest have a better squad than us?

chickens · Dec 30, 2024

I haven’t watched the Fulham game again yet, but my advice to anyone ready to put the boot into our new head coach is to bite your tongue all the way through this season and even next, where there’s an evens chance he’ll make different mistakes to this season.

If by a third season in charge he’s still making mistakes then he’s not learning and I’m certain the club will have realised that too. I’d be joining in the chorus by that point. Think of it in the same way as with players: we aren’t signing Salah, Palmer, etc, likewise Pep isn’t coming to manage us, Klopp isn’t coming to manage us, we won’t get an established elite manager to manage us, we have to make one. Back him, I’ve heard he’s remarkably young for a permanent PL manager.

Not man for man better no. They have players in form and a wiley old coach. The only player of theirs I'd say would get in our team is MGW.

Don’t agree with that at all, their entire defence is better than ours for a start.

Wrong team selection and formation, counter attacking men against boys. File it under young coach was naive.

It’s a fine line.

Categorically yes!

Better manager and better players in every position.

As today has proved.

Tricky one.

Certainly looks like it today.

Toongull · 2025-02-01T14:16:15+0000

Err yeah and a seasoned manager

Yeah a real head scratcher.

El Turi · 2025-02-01T14:16:28+0000

I still think no. I wouldn’t take any of their players. They just work harder and have a game plan.

Still of the same opinion out of interest?!

I’ve rarely seen two such constrasting defences in one match. Their brilliant defenders and our absolute jokers at the back.

Wow, that’s some take!

You genuinely wouldn’t take Aina, Williams, Murillo and Milenkovic instead of Veltman, Lamptey, Dunk and Van Hecke for a start?! You sure?!!

Before today, I’d have taken Sels, the CB’s, Wood, Elanga, Gibbs-White.

Aina is ten times better than any of our full backs too.

Aina is a better RB than anyone we have and Anderson would walk into the team. Disagree about Wood and Elanga though.

Basil Fawlty · 2025-02-01T15:13:06+0000

You have to remember it has taken them 1,000 players. Relegation over their shoulders constantly and one dodgy Greek owner to get where they are now.

At least we have a sustainable model, we are trying to do things the right way. IMO we are going backwards and we need to stop the derailing, that means sacking Fabian before it gets worse!

Dibdab · 2025-02-01T15:18:29+0000

They definitely have a better first 11.

kevo · 2025-02-01T17:19:45+0000

I'm still tempted to answer 'no'. They are just better organised, more clinical in attack and have a far better manager.

I don't think one of our defenders would get in their team. And I don't think any of our RMs get in ahead of Elanga, potentially a fully fit March from two seasons ago. On top of that Sels is miles ahead of Bart on this seasons performances.

nsclurker · 2025-02-01T17:48:14+0000

It certainly seemed that way today, but they barely had to try and were already 3-0 up after 32 minutes.
