Pre-season doesn't start for 2 weeks, Edwards has clearly been the man for weeks on end now. He'll have been in the thinking for a while, and I bet he'll already be involved in planning. The official announcement taking place 12 hours later than Sheffield United's won't impact anthing. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skinemrippers 1,168 1.2k Posted June 18 Share Posted June 18 I’m coming round to thinking this could be a good appointment. We’ve not gone for someone like Edwards before, Scott obviously likes him and thinks he can work with him, he was wanted by another team (who finished higher than us this season) and seems to have chosen us. He knows what he’s walking into and both he and Scott will be absolutely desperate to make work. And no more snails pace recycling the ball tactics UTB!!! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a good point that I think is worth remembering. I’m not saying Bristol are the model club or anything but if he was as poor as some make out then he wouldn’t have had as many suitors as he did 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jones was a good wing back for us tbf. I'm sure we'll be looking if indeed we are going to be using them. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wingbacks can be fine ie look at Leverkusen they use one of them to sit back and the other basically plays as a right winger in build up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I prefer being linked with, discussing and watching wingers, attacking midfielders, midfield generals With 5 atb we know that a decent chunk of our budget will be going on the wingbacks necessary to make the system work cos they’re so vital and that’s just boring…to me anyways 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But of course they can work, it’s about the space they create such as wilders first year jones was amazing with with crooks and Dijksteel working as a triangle in build up, wingbacks can be effective in helping us have more space in the middle which we’ve been wanting for ages Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d be a lot more worried if we signed a poor manager like Selles just to move quick. He got a lot of praise when he was an assistant in Denmark but I don’t think he’s good enough to be manager. SU will not be promoted with him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
