Bola does the same thing. They even highlighted it during the game that we go man for man. You think these players just suddenly decide to run across the pitch on a whim?
We haven't been playing wingbacks have we so why would he be playing? You've been making those comments since last season to be fair, it's not like you suddenly said it a couple of months ago.
I couldn't give a crap what Warnock says or thinks about anything. Just another manager, like Pulis and Karanka before him, who find it easier to criticise the younger players because they don't have the same level of influence in the dressing room, and frankly, they aren't getting paid as much. With Pulis it was Tav wasn't it and Wing? Karanka had Traore in that final season. Younger players get it all the time from managers for the same reason that they get it a lot from fans, it's all about perception. If a younger player makes a mistake it's because of their inexperience, if an older player does then it's just one of those things and it often gets passed over like it doesn't matter. That's something I don't like to see.
I totally agree with this it is not that Spence makes mistakes, but the fact that he keeps on making the same ones. Was he given the freedom to roam from side to side by the coaching staff or did he just decide that himself. If it was a tactical plan then other players were at fault because nobody coveted his position and a goal like the one Blackburn scored became inevitable
Lol, I'm making an assumption about what? Armstrong isn't Howson's man, he just picks him up as he's running across and then he leaves him anyway. Howson then was marking Rothwell but for some reason you are choosing to ignore the bit where Howson starts to pick him up as if it's meaningless. Howson is closer to Rothwell at almost every part of that attack right until the end but it has nothing to do with him and despite him being in position to just clear the ball, him standing completely still is also unimportant? 🙂
