I agree, but I hope/suspect that he's doing this in public. But giving them 
some "advice" in Private. This is pretty much the same team that battered 
Stoke, Derby & Norwich.  

A team of average (I'd say above average) can get promotion - Cardiff FFS!.  
Its what happens next that is the problem.   I think another year in the 
Championship under Bielsa would be a good idea, to allow him to bring/bed in a 
few better players.

you know I love Marcelo.  And no O'Leary, Blackwell et al dodging 
responsibility either, taking it full on the chin.  Not BPF, Not Dallas, Not 
the players.  All my fault.  Nice.


He said the aim was not to concede the ball in our half, where it would hurt 
us.  But that's what happened.


Is it just that our defenders are not up to passing it to each other when under 
pressure?  Had Marcelo told them, instead of playing the high tempo game, to 
take it nice and easy and careful and not lose possession.  Which they tried, 
and failed?

And wasn't that what seemed to be happening when Mr 
I-was-at-Barcelona-with-Johann-Cruyff-and-Total-football's team got found out 
by Millwall and then everyone? Christensen seemed to want them to build up 
patiently from the back, which i thought proved his undoing.

This time, though I'm sure Bielsa will have figured out ways to overcome this.


I still think, we have a team of average championship players, but a coach of 
real quality who is proving that just 'buying players' is not the answer, 
better to improve what you've got individually and collectively.
And we have a chance.  fingers crossed. MOT
