The article in the Athletic summarising his time at Wolves has put me in a positive space abou tthis.
The main reason, the bloke does not take any SH*T from the playing group. It's his way or out. And his way is work hard, stick to the structure and be consistent. That is exactly what half of our enigmatic, mentally inept squad need.
Carlo's light touch didn't suit our group, while he could certainly win games for us tactically, I don't think it was sustainable while we had to carry the dead weight riddled squad.
Now to make this work Brands must urgently sign a star RWB and pacey left-footed RW. His whole style is based around overlapping full backs and pacey/direct wingers. We also need another CB, as I just don't trust Holgate anymore.
Digne and Richarlison will work well on the left.
I see us lining up as such in a Nuno 3-4-3 system:
Pickford
Godfrey Mina ?
? Allan Doucoure Digne
? DCL Richarlison
James could potentially fill that RW role, but we would need a super quick and direct RWB to make it work.
Ideally, we would also sign a slightly more progressive/creative CM and then one of Allan and Doucoure play the deeper lying role.
