Seeing as how we clearly can't defend (& cannot do anything about that until Jan at the earliest) then its criminal to not ensure we have some attacking quality on the pitch from the off.
Playing a midfield of Edwards, Coady & Saiss is not going to give you that - get the first goal & the match takes a different direction
Jimmy's team will do with what we have at this point
I've seen a few people mention the full-backs but can they not see they were under instruction positionally? Edwards seemed to adopt Pep style tactics getting the full-backs to come into midfield in an attempt to make playing out from the back easier and at times it worked. A lot of our better play came from them starting attacks. It's going to have it's pros and cons but was nice to see him trying things to help our overall play.
Thats OK having fullbacks moving infield if your ball retention is good. With Wolves its not so you keep getting smashed on transition with your full backs nowhere near creating a defensive shape.
accepting that our defensive players are not very good , do we have a coaching problem at the club ?
some posters are suggesting that we don't look match fit !! when the videos of the games are watched by the team/coaches/manager they must be aware that our defending is school boy stuff !!
do we have coaches that just deal with the defensive players ? if so ,what are they telling them to do ?
