Season 23/24 | WBA v The Swans | The Official Match Thread | EFL Championship | The Hawthorns

No shape boys, no shape...

 

[K23]

Cabango, Wood and Darling just ain't working, weak in the air, slow and can't use the ball...

It didn't last season so don't see why it should be any different this time

 

[K23]

No shape boys, no shape...

Nope, wrong shape IMO.

 

[JonTheJack]

It doesn’t help that Piroe is the only one looking for the ball coming back. Fulton is hiding and Grimes just gives it straight back to CBs putting more pressure on them.

Watching Cabango trying to ping a 50 diagonal is like scratching nails down a chalkboard.

 

[Longlostjack]

No outlet in midfield

They are back 4 defenders. Then they are fine. They need to be in a FUCKING back 4.

This is a frigging shambles!
Our shape is terrible, hoping it's just early season rustiness.

We are getting hurt down our left hand side.

2nd half I would be looking to bring Mylko for Cooper and put Piroe in deeper with Yates and Mylko up top.
If we are going to hoof it then we may aswell have a target to play off.

 

[MrSwerve]

When Wyndam sounds grim we might have a problem...

Indeed, wonder when he's pencilled in to commentate...

(It's Curt commentating today but I'm sure you knew that )

They are back 4 defenders. Then they are fine. They need to be in a f*****g back 4.

Going to a back 4 then allows us to put a bit of width so we can have some kind of outlet.
Hoping he does as Martin did and go to a back 4.

 

[K23]

They are back 4 defenders. Then they are fine. They need to be in a f*****g back 4.

That's what I meant about wrong shape rather than no shape. This is exactly what was happening last week against Brum when they were penning our back 3 in, we need an extra body in midfield and the best way to achieve that is to go to a back 4.

 

[monmouth]

Fair play, this is almost unbelievable.

 

[K23]

Think we should bring Yates on so it's 11 v 11

 

[MrSwerve]

Hmm, very much aimless long balls at the moment.

There's a difference between wanting more direct football and not wanting the back 4 knock it between each other for 10 f*cking minutes, by the way.

 

[jacabertawe]

We are flattering WB.

 

[phact0rri]

I hear channel four has paint drying on.
