It doesn't have to be a negative formation obviously, we've seen first hand how exciting a team playing a back 5 and a low block can be, but it would be under O'Neil. He's already put the shackles on our front 4 under the guise of being more 'balanced', any shift to a back 3 now would be purely to have an extra defender and limit the amount of space we have to defend as individuals, how that formation worked in an attacking sense would be an afterthought.

Well then we’re fucked either way!

Well yes. We shouldn't have appointed him full stop and then we wouldn't be in this situation, I think the guy's out of his depth unfortunately. The situation with our centre halves would be a problem for anybody but one that a coach of a higher calibre would find a solution to without resorting straight to lowest common denominator football. I don't have any faith in O'Neil to find that solution.
 
I wonder if he was part of why Fabio got upset at Anderlecht...

Edit: note he came in after Fabio had left.
 
Took over from Rob Edwards at Forest Green. Sadly didn't work out...
 
Very similar win % at FGR to GO at Bournemouth - 29.70 vs 29.73

On 25 January 2023, Forest Green Rovers parted company with Burchnall leaving the club bottom of League One after having won just five of their league matches
 
Are Wolves going for the worst or most inexperienced back room staff in Premier league history?

Just the cheapest. The rest is collateral damage.

You've changed your tune from a couple of days ago when you were agreeing with non-Wolves fan Mark about how shocking and negative it was to call out all these cheap punts left, right and centre as average (let alone shit)

Are we tucking Semedo in to cover for Dawson's lack of pace?

Genuine question as it's an area exploited time and time again. Brighton have done it the last two games at Molinex to such an extent that Mitoma and their Left Back have looked like world beaters. Any PL player given that much space will look good. Soloman at Fulham was another that made Semedo look a chump without having to actually do too much.

P.S. He's also rarely helped out by the player in front of him.

Possibly that’s the reason why but it’s not working because as you say teams have worked it out by keeping someone high and wide on the left. Also true that he’s not really had anyone infront of him to help out and Lemina and Gomes seem much better at pinching the ball rather than covering that space infront of the back 4.

Coaching appointments don’t really give confidence that we’re going to work it out either.
 
Anyone who thinks Semedo gives a fuck. Rewind and watch all four of Brighton's goals. Absolute disgrace.
Out of position, weak and worst of all (as was the case yesterday) scared of the ball hitting him. Besides contributing zero going forward obviously.
 
Buchnall might be a really good coach but terrible manager.

Most of all he's cheap and no doubt easy to get rid of in 6 games time when GoN has been canned
