I’m not sure how zonal marking could contribute to attacking freedom?
I think the idea is that players (maybe full backs in particular) won't be dragged around the box at corners or other set pieces so they can be up more quickly on the break.

Quite possibly Mark. It really does look more and more like the board were not prepared for this promotion.
Fully agree with this, it seems to have thrown a spanner in the works from a planning perspective, however Covid was not planned for and its a bloody good job we did get up, planned or not.

New set of plans required which are currently being drawn up on the hoof.

In Jenkins' leaving speech, he said that he thought transfers would go down to the wire.
Members on here have identified that we have circa £200k per week of wages that we'd like to move on, other clubs must have similar problems

Swiss Ramble, this morning, have said that English top 6 clubs stand to lose the most from BCD games. Arsenal, for example, will lose around £500k per week in gate money.

There will be some very good players surplus to requirements at the end of the window if we hold our nerve.
If it was easy, it wouldn't be Albion

As long as the TV money stays the same, with our gates being one of the lowest in the prem, we actually stand to lose less compared to most other clubs

As I’ve mentioned before, we are so close to being a good team. Gallagher and Krovinovic should sort the midfield. We need a good striker ie Karlan Grant, I did however think Robinson was excellent today.

This may be true ... but hang on we have played 3 of the top sides Who are expecting To be up there this year, give them some slack..

If the same was happening against the bottom 10 Teams then I would agree

I agree with you 100 per cent. Very unlucky today. On another day that third goal is ruled out. Other than not wanting HRK anywhere near the team I am upbeat overall.

Just found out we've broken the PL record for most goals conceded in first 3 matches and we haven't played either of the only 2 truly outstanding teams in the division.

Surrendering the midfield after 60 minutes every week doesn’t help  ;D

At the back is where our problems lie.

I'd spend the Grant money on an upgrade for Furlong and another centre half.

I’ve made this point all summer - signing a top quality centre half should have been the priority - especially with such a weak back line, many of whom are new to this division.

Ivanovic will help but it needs more in my view.

Further weight is added to the argument when they have no intention of changing the keeeper.

Signing Grant will be pointless if we are conceding three and four goals a game.

I fear that ship has sailed. Bilic has seen him for 14 months now and would have dropped him by now if it was going to happen.

Think it's more about we have no one else to bring in and whoever else is out there would cost us too much of our meagre budget. Johnstone needs to go for his own good, he knows the fans dislike him and his confidence looks shot to pieces.

Embarrassing. There's no hope of this side grinding our the results that will keep us up.

Inclined to agree. But we have nothing better to replace him with. I'll eat my hat if we do business for a keeper between now and the end of the window.

This unwanted record doesn’t mean anything to me

The bigger picture does.

A team who concedes this many goals does not survive in this division.

We have one of the worst squads in premier league history, as such not really that surprised.
It is not the taking part, but the winning that counts.

I said before the season started we could trouble the season record for most goals conceded. At the current rate we will smash it.
