worth a watch
THANK YOU! I watched it and was hoping to see this reply. What's the effin point of being able to regurgitate pre written cliché modern football tactical jargon in a confident TV mimicked manner if you literally completely contradict yourself due to not knowing the definition of a relatively basic word? Baffling.Its OK but the lad needs to learn what the word pragmatic means, when he says that Wilder is not pragmatic. His suggestion that we are varying our tactics to suit the opposition is the very definition of pragmatic.
PRAGMATIC -
dealing with things sensibly and realistically in a way that is based on practical rather than theoretical considerations.
Overly critical of his wordsmith skills I think. Not my take on his video at all. His assessment of our strengths and how we have turned the season around is what I thought was prevalent - not the misuse of the word pragmatic.THANK YOU!

He'd do well on sky sports like.
Agreed. I also think he contrasted a 'pragmatic style' with our varied style - the ability to play in different ways to suit different opposition tactics.I interpreted the context of his use of pragmatic as only us being 'frugal' or 'sparingly'. As in practically approaching games looking to snatch just one goal and sit back, whereas he pointed out we'd had over 11 attempts against Bournemouth, yet only scored one.
He's a very good speaker, not especially verbose and really wouldn't be out of place on the box. That said I feel like he did badly misuse the word which undermined what he went on to say. For the production value of the channel I'd expect that to have been rectified in editing at least.Overly critical of his wordsmith skills I think. Not my take on his video at all.

As a professional I’d agree but he’s a rank amateur and I’d give him leeway accordingly personally.He's a very good speaker, not especially verbose and really wouldn't be out of place on the box.

Is he really a rank amateur? Isn't that the official YouTube media page for the EFL? It's sky affiliated isn't it?As a professional I’d agree but he’s a rank amateur and I’d give him leeway accordingly personally.
