[GoingUp]

I love the way we often sign or promote players, don't see them for a while, maybe loan them out, consider it may not have worked out for them....... then they pop up in the first team doing a great job.

Baffling how RDZ hasn’t used him this season to provide some depth - I.e Forest but glad he’s now being recognised

I think RDZ conceded that he screwed up against Forest.
As a small explanation as to why RDZ has had so little game time: CM is not the position that you want to change when the game is in the balance and RDZ has had Mac, Moises and Pascal playing in those positions (and at least two out of those you NEVER take off).

 

[Machiavelli]

There was an interesting comment on the Man City game on Wednesday about how Pep brings in new players and they don’t flourish until the second season When they really come good. I suspect that’s something we need to expect here. They have to understand and acclimatise to a new way of playing. Listening to Dunk yesterday it sounds almost like learning chess moves when they play the ball at the back. So I agree we need to give players time and it will take some longer than others.

I was a bit surprised about that Dunk interview: seemed to be giving a bit too much away. But it was clear from that, just as it is on the pitch, we're being taught pretty patterns.

I don’t think it’s any mystery to scouts and coaches in the game. It’s just how you stop it

I think you're saying that, although Dunk gave a lot away to me, he didn't to those who are in the know

Most people think about football in a rudimentary way. People in the game can’t afford to as the margins are so tight.

Or those that watch YouTube.

This stuff has been out there since the new year.
There are literally 100's of tactical analysis videos pulling apart 'the double pivot small box' set up.

The fact that I can write "double pivot small box" and everyone knows what is meant is testament to that.
Were I to have written that in November it only would have made sense to one man, and even then I'd have need to write scatola piccola a doppio perno.

what's going to be amazing is watching Plan B next season, because Plan A won't work so well.
Maybe randomly marauding centre backs is the start.

………….,,,,

You need a substantial box if you are going to double pivot through your mater years Ive always maintained.

 

[Jimmy Come Lately]

A few more performances like that by wee Billy before the end of the season and I'll be expecting a big money bid from Chelsea in the summer. Oh to be a fly on the wall when Todd Boehly finds out where we got him from. Or maybe they won't tell him...

TODD: WINSTANLEY! Get in here!

PAUL: (to himself) Oh God, what now? (aloud) Yes, Boss! (enters Todd's office) Is there something I can help with?

TODD: I hear that Brighton have found another South American wonderkid! How did you miss him?

PAUL: You mean Buonanotte? He-

TODD: No, not him! Another one with a British name, like that Mac Allister. Happy Gilmore or something.

PAUL: Billy Gilmour? He's not South American, he's Scottish.

TODD: Even worse! What are your scouts doing all day? If he's Scotch he must have been right under your noses!

PAUL: I mean, yes, he definitely was, but you can't really blame the scouts for this one. He-

TODD: Why not? Do you even know where Brighton unearthed this kid from?

PAUL: ...

TODD: Well?

PAUL: I, uh, I think it was Raith Rovers, Boss.

TODD: Then I want your ass on the next plane to Raith to see who else you might have missed!

PAUL: Yes, Boss. Right away, Boss.

Nah. Hoofball, every time.

Would love to see the reaction on here if:
a). It is Plan B - and
b). It works!

See Steele assist for Mitoma.

But he learnt from it, and we moved on.

That really did end well.

It’s almost like the club knows what it’s doing

 

[banjo]

Another good performance.

Caicedo-like performance?

Perhaps, but just a pity that we don’t contend against Georgia or similar in the PL.

Lots of Brighton influence in his game, RDZ has done wonders for him

He steals possession from Kvaratskhelia twice. Agreed the rest of the Georgia team not much cop
