    • He definitely won't change so he has to make his way work except the harder he tries the more obvious it's becoming that it's riddled with too many inconsistencies. He needs to take a step back and just fix the here and now so he buys himself enough time to evolve his theories and make them work (assuming he can make them work). He won't however, he's at the stage that if Panel G doesn't fit into Panel J with the screws from pack A on page 23 of the assembly instructions just hit it with a bigger hammer instead of disassembling the damn thing and going back to where it went wrong.  Having defenders running into each other now seemingly weekly and ritual suicide passes gift wrapped with labels and bows on is about as obvious that something isn't right as it can be. We have passed the stage of surrendering good leads to just seemingly surrendering and don't bother with going a few goals up. I'd be up for giving McCabe a try because at this stage nothing is working and the lad does seem to have bit of cheeky confidence. What's the worse that can happen, he gives the ball away cheaply in the opposition half and they score? Nowt new there then.
    • Fair, except although far too casual for my liking Dieng wasn't that bad, glover definitely has the most honkers - except Joe Lumley of course, the jury is out on Travers, the attacker pulled his arm in the jump, although the first goal was definitely a honker from him, just smother it lad. What happened to keepers taking everything including the kitchen sink? Ryan Giles is good at getting crosses in, and he's got a few good crosses in, and also won a few shoulder barges in defensive areas, but he was never going to fix the defence so we can't blame him for the three massive honkers he's pulled in 3 games. It's like he's our honker specialist, brought in at Carrick's express and relentless desire. I was secretly hoping we wouldn't sign him because I could see as clear as a couple of smoky single malts (not too smoky - such as Laphroaig or Lagavulin for eg ) that Ryan Giles' ferocious swinging balls alone would not be enough to get us bang smack back into the playoffs race, we need him to not play for now, Borges was doing alright, Carrick switches the starting line up too much and there's no consistency, except for the continuous stream of gigantic honkers we produce. On the pitch they've even started ironically banging their heads together, as if to mock Carrick with postmodern artistry.  Oh the honkers we've conceded this season. it makes me as sad as when we bought George Saville (no offence George). When you think about all those honkers we've conceded this season it's really hard to feel proud of the team, you know we're going to shoot ourselves in the nuts at any given opportunity, from what I've seen at least. Ultimately it's down to the manager, although it's seriously rough for him to keep losing really good players and he's on a hiding to nothing, he needs to get a settled back four - and why it doesn't include fry when fit I've got no idea, especially when you watch edmundens honkers reel. I swear dael fry doesn't get picked because he's not very good at honkers or whatever. I can see why people are feeling the Boro malaise, makes every single parmo taste increasingly bitter and not enough chips on the side anymore. Regardless 'm definitely not bringing football up in any social scenario at the moment. Look at what forest are doing in the PL Carrick, fyi, it's the opposite of what we do (TBF Chris Wood is a freak atm).  Fans have bemoaned Carrick's inflexibility for a while now and it's clear he needs to factor in other ideas. teams sussed out his plan, we shat the bed and lost all of our swagger, and keep dropping the biggest honkers anyone's ever seen so it's time for some outside of his box thinking from Carrick, or maybe he's managing for his next team anyway?   TLDR: After losing LL Carrick has a mountain to climb, it's an incredibly tough environment for a new manager to exist in, but it's encouraging we are setting those standards as a club, surely there is a manager that can make this model sing, Carrick get your singing trousers on lad.   Utb          
    • That's not what you said though, is it?  The tactics make us weak that's why Engel didn't last and even a decent experienced defender in Borges has been largely written off. They're all destined to fail
    • And until this week we were ahead of two of those clubs.
    • I refuse to believe the likes of Blackburn, Bristol city, sheff wed have a better squad than us, Westbrom yea maybe but probably debatable.
