It was obvious against Derby that they could not work out what to do with a two tightly packed blocks of 4. Sheaf in particular - who was the man to turn to - clearly hadn't a clue. The answer was to go wide - get Sakamoto on the wing. The game changed when in desperation that happened, and EMC and Da Silva started causing problems on the left. Clearly Robins at fault, but the players too.
What was so depressing was that against Luton the combination of Binks, Rudoni and Wright terrorized their right wing. But they forgot the lesson...
Honourable mention though to Binks, who twice opened up an opportunity by going long to the right wing, and deep down in his soul is a frustrated left winger, but that is another subject
Agree entirely. It's dehumanising and doesn't give the impression you see them as valued individuals and employees.
Maybe it is a new 'buzz word' in industry but I've never heard anyone say that before.
However, it probably is appropriate for King's thoughts towards the players - just things he can shuffle around, deal and play with in the hope of making some money.
