If we are going to play 3 at the back then we need to improve our CB options, yesterday they all struggled to an extent
Woolfenden having to play on the left as the only one comfortable on the ball really negates the quality he does have on it, so he isn't able to affect the game like he has been
Wilson just nowhere near good enough on the ball, Wycombe let Woolfie and Chambers keep it and as soon as it went to Wilson applied a bit of pressure as he went long with a straight ball when pressed
Chambers lacks the pace for the wide roles of a back 3 so has to play centrally, but really is more of a sweeper than a ball winner as lacks the height to really be the big man back there like Berra was when he was with us.
A note for their striker, Samuel, who really did a good job occupying our centre halves, looked lively and used the ball well.
I'd personally go 4 at the back, if we are to persist with 3 there needs to be an improvement on the ball |  |

Agree with that but doesn't playing 4 at the back just push the problems into midfield?
Yesterday I think the wingbacks gave us balance and got Garbutt and Edwards into space where they could threaten. The wide midfield options of Judge and Edwards have never really done that despite many attempts. |  |

Yep, somebody had noted CMS wasn't playing but he was a carbon copy - kept 3 CBs occupied when we struggle to find a striker who can occupy 2 |
CMS left in the summer. |  | | |

I’m not sure we need another centre back, we need better defensive shape and coaching.
Noticeable how often the Sky pundit referenced how poor our defensive line was. That’s a technical coaching issue, not a staff issue.
Interesting that I’d now say The Wolf is our first choice over Chambo. Both Wilson and Chambo have become our no nonsense clear it first type. When Chambo dithers we concede.
Nsiala shouldnt start. |
It is both, and to the "staff" point because we don't have the players for it. They looked all at sea defensively, and Wolfenden is wasted. We could get away with perhaps Chambers or Wilson with Wolfenden, but not both. |  |
