sglosbcfc Posted January 14, 2019 Report Share Posted January 14, 2019 Kalas, Webster, Wright, Kelly, Baker is their a championship squad with 5 better Centre halves? I severely doubt it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I started writing an article on the analytics of the Bolton game and posted it in the editor last night. I deleted it and thought I'd come back to it today. I'll post the full version later!

Legends is used too easily these days so I won't but that squad will forever be remembered fondly. Aden went the extra mile too, was part of Ljs recovery plan in 16/17 as well as our brilliant run last season. Noone will ever forget his headers, him chasing down Lukaka and generally being a fans favourite. Of course I wish him well but he wouldnt get into Ljs current team. Good call, I wasn't really so much knocking Aden , more praising LJ and co for replacing him at least defensively. Again, well done LJ . Kalas and Webster together really are a joy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davefevs Posted January 14, 2019 Report Share Posted January 14, 2019 As much as I think the Webster / Kalas (and Mäenpää) partnership is, I think we should have a bit of balance in terms of the style we are playing with Pack in front of them and him being reigned in a little. It provides protection to them. Generally, when was the last time our CBs have been exposed through lack of midfield cover? Rarely. We were too open post-Xmas last season, and I do think LJ has worked out his to make the sum of the parts work without Reid (and Flint’s saviour goals). It might not have been his plan pre-season, but through whatever reason it’s morphed into 4141. It bodes well. At RB and LB we have competition but also the ability to go horses for courses if we like, e.g. Kelly v Ince at Stoke. I’m going out on a limb after 28 minutes, but I think Palmer is the missing link in the midfield-cum-no10 role....I think it will see a step up in Fam’s goals too, because Palmer’s runs will take markers / cover away from Fam.

Fiale Posted January 16, 2019 Report Share Posted January 16, 2019 Palmer also looks like he will put some pressure on the defenders when we are out of possession. Patterson gets sussed out early in games and defenders know he will not really challenge for the ball/tackle giving them more time to think and less to worry about.
