RiseAgainst 3,776 Posted November 29, 2021 Share Posted November 29, 2021 Considering the changes Wilder has wrought over three games, imagine us after three months of his stewardship. The signs were there against Preston in the first half and against Huddersfield throughout - we're going to become a proper footballing side for the first time since Karanka's management (and even more positive going forwards than we were under Aitor, who prioritised the defence with that rigid 4231 formation). 2 Link to post Share on other sites

I've been really surprised how quickly he's changed our style, I was expecting a process that would take months. Obviously we're far from the finished article but by God, I like what I've seen up to now! 4 Link to post Share on other sites

Considering Osbourne and Jones had a half each I would say Osbourne produced more. The man, the myth, the legend Isiah Osbourne. 6 Link to post Share on other sites
Redcar Rioja 5,870 Posted November 29, 2021 Share Posted November 29, 2021 I think Jones was a mere shadow of Osbourne in the first half and how he makes the team but Osbourne hasn't is totally beyond me, the lad even set up our first goal. Overall I thought Jones was much poorer in comparison. 2 Link to post Share on other sites

RiseAgainst 3,776 Posted November 29, 2021 Share Posted November 29, 2021 (edited) Never mind Isaiah Osbourne's omission, where's James Tavernier? It's as if he didn't even play at the weekend. Edit - great minds think alike, @Borodane! 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Aphex_Boro 1,425 Posted November 29, 2021 Share Posted November 29, 2021 He's a much better footballer (especially technically) than I think anyone really thought when he signed. I just assumed he was another Warnock ogre but he really does seem like a very good player at this level. 3 Link to post Share on other sites
