There is a massive difference between a opinion as a genuine fan and crap uneducated personal subjective rudeness directed to a player particularly when the subjective comments are based on utter rubbish because that "fan" has limited football intelligence and more than likely was useless at football themselves and / or cannot comprehend the dynamics of playing a competive sport

So, none of us can have an opinion?

Have you ever played professional football? If not, no.

Have never been a MP, so that disqualifies one from a political opinion?

Don’t speak nonsense.

There’s a good chance I’m wrong lost of the time but it’s a bit dull to post on here ‘we are good’ or ‘we are bad’ rather than analysing formations, tactics, certain players, positioning, etc...

It may not be everyone’s cup of tea but get worn out arguing with people on here who deem that anything that doesn’t fit into a football conversation from 1982 means I’m booking in my coaching badges.

Nothing wrong with analysing Wum
But i heard a lot of people telling me 352 ( 532 ) is negative football.

Barcelona play 352 ( i know, we are not them )
But people claiming it is negative dont know what they are.talking about.

It can be used to be negativr as much as can be used to be attack8ng & gung ho
Assuming you have the players.to implement that .

Same with the 442 433 451 541

Systems should be fluid there are times i see teams line up like this

Goal kick 1 9 on left 1 on right

Free kicks defensively 1 2 8
GK 1 on each post 8 in front of the goal.

A system isnt set in stone just like best players shouldnt be.

Players can mix & move
Sometimes we go a bit in depth on the same line , which realoy is pointless.

The point UpminsterO is making & making well is that criticism is fine, especially constructive criticism, but we have to remember these are League 2 players & not so long ago we're National League players (albeit good ones).
When I started supporting we were a good Division 2/Championship team with quality players like Roeder, Kitchen, Roffey etc.
Unfortunately though the bulk of my time supporting The O's has been in League 1 & 2. I've just had to accept we aren't as good as we were but still have that hope we'll get there again one day.
Look at that, I made a sensible post & never insulted anyone.

Just noticed, Exeter had two players in the penalty area, as the ball was kicked.....an offence
Thought the authorities were clamping down on this type of offence?

Sadly (in this case) no VAR in League 2.
