I love your videos, have recommended them to others, you give a lot for nothing so a small contribution is well deserved. I'll put a note on ALS to highlight this (Dexterdogster) - feel free to mention me on the next video (Dexter is my dog by the way!).

TYVM I shall give you a mention and I saw your post on RTG thank you for the promotion there. I think you are right...many don't know it's there. I had a look around some of my videos and sometimes it isn't an option. For example it isn't there in the Regis video and that's because I am appealing the copyright claim from League 1 so I can't monetise it until after the copyright has been resolved (still 20 days time). I shall pay more attention. TY again.

We've shown we have a capable squad who can compete at the top of the table when they have a head coach who gives them good instructions (Mogga). Watching this team between Tony, Beale, and then Dodds, it was astounding how much worse they got - Dodds teams being the worst imo. Hoping RLB can coach them properly, give them good instructions, the players know what to do in every situation (like corners, free kicks, etc), and most importantly, a striker packs his shooting boots for the game. Brilliant video as well, Marra

Welcome to the channel then. There's lots to get your teeth into. Start with the links at the end of this video. There are three that kind of interconnect. Then there are some good tactical breakdowns, Leicester Away last season, Southampton at home. And some classic match reviews I put together, Preston away last day of the first season back. You'll enjoy all these. As well as that I do player reviews when we get new signings and of course, the full 50 minute season reviews of each of the last two years. There's loads to enjoy and hopefully some stuff I reveal in the analysis. Spread the word marra.

Leo Hjelde is a centre back, and can easily be a much better lcb than onein. Way too harshly treated for a 20 year old playing out of position in a really bad team
@altendingАй бұрын
Yes, lots of people tell me he's a CB, but he played LB for Leeds, Rotherham and us. He does largely play as the left sided defender in a back three for Norway though. I don't mind which position he plays, but if he's capable of playing CB as well it makes his purchase look more sensible. He needs time clearly, judging him on those games between Jan and May is too harsh and the whole squad played poorly at times.

@Liam2000_LАй бұрын
@mikaelonallen3108 onein is a decent championship centre back but a lot of his defending is too rash and reckless, his ball carrying can be aimless, and he's not got the physical profile to be a top championship centre back. Hjelde has a lot of things to improve, but he has the potential to be a premier league centre back, and was he really that bad last season? I don't recall any big errors, his passing, decision making and defending was just a bit weak sometimes
