    Hull v Boro 2-2 (Latte Lath, Azaz)

    in Match Day Threads 2023/24 Season

    I have no idea what Chip Spice is, or American Chip Spice for that matter, so no.

    I'm not playing that game.  All accents are nice if it's just a lilt.

    Coca-Cola have the right colours I suppose...

    Same team, but drop Thomas for Engel, not averse to setting up in a 3 or 5 at the back at DZ suggests.  

    1-1.

    Do we need a new manager?

    I've got issues with his seeming inability to learn, change things, formations and tactics, and his substitutions.

    The recruitment this season has been hit and miss, some good, Van den Berg and Rogers, the rest are either poor or we can't tell because of injuries, for instance, how would Latte have done with a full season?

    I don't know whether I'd get rid, I just know this season has been rubbish, and last season seems like an aberration. Steve Cooper is free.  We can't get anyone better than that because Gisbon won't take managers from other clubs.

    I still think we have the basis of a decent team if everyone was fit.  

    Dieng

    Fry - Van den Berg - Clarke [Lenihan]

    Jones - Hackney - O'Brien - Bangura

    Azaz - McGree

    Lath [Forss/Coburn]

    We have plenty of dross - Glover, Ayling, Thomas, Howson, Barlaser, Greenwood, Silvera... Some of those may come good, I will have missed more.

     

    It's an interesting season, and I've heard lots of people say we will try harder next season because the three coming down won't be as strong, but they will have much more money to spend than us - I think you take your chances when and where you can, you don't get to pick and choose which season you go up.

     

    I don't know what I'd do.  I just know this has been a hugely disappointing season after last season's highs - even with the damp squib of an end to the season.

     

    I do feel like his tactics have been completely sussed out.

    Friend said a recent interview that he was actually signed as a CB, but got moved to left back either due to injury or a sale, I can't remember which.

    Dijksteel is a RCB in a 3, he's not a CB in the sense that you'd whack him in a back 4 and be happy with it. He's a CDM that got moved to RB due to his athleticism and has about one full season of experience there too, so it could be argued that he doesn't necessarily have his best position nailed down yet. As mentioned by @LinoJo3 the RCB probably actually suits him because it's the blend of DM and RB.

    "Bielsa has often converted midfielders into versatile defenders, and a prime example of this was the 2010 World Cup. He used Waldo Ponce as a dominant central defender and slotted two quick defensive-minded midfielders either side of him in Gonzalo Jara and Gary Medel."
