Surely the time has come to have a commercial break while VAR does its thing. Football needs this. It's a wasted chance to sell more stuff, make more money and generally entertain the modern football fan.
Johnson off, Burns on pls. Godfrey old-school RB. Then keep the same sodding back four for three games in a row so they can build some kind of understanding.
The cogniscenti believe it's all about buying/loaning as many 'better' players as cash allows. As if football teams are made by cutting and pasting these into a team.
Maybe it can work, but the power of team spirit and cohesion is so hard to attain, and so easy to lose. Players need to trust what other players will do, which run they will make, whether to go long or come short. This massive overhaul is putting all that we had at risk.
There is very little defensive cohesion, and almost none when we attack. It does take time, but confidence is hard won and once lost, will take a string of wins to get back. That's a tough feat at this level.
I really hope we get that balance back and not turn to 'we need to buy big in the January window'.
I hope we'll be ok. I trust Kieron's coaching and man-management. Fan patience may be less reliable, but that's football. Beating Everton would help.
It's interesting, now that the boot is on the other foot, to see how far down through the Premier League 'news' and transfer fluff you need to scroll to get to actual football. There was a Championship match last night, yet it's barely mentioned on BBC Sport. It's not even on the Championship page: https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/championship
If it had been us a year ago, I'd have been annoyed that our match hadn't got much attention. Now that we are in the higher echelons, I can see how it happens, and how people become focussed on the top teams.
It's a shame though, and I think the media hold the key to this. They can easily 'promote' interest simply through the placement of their news stories.

is by far the best and most versatile.
