  1. Q1 - meh. Q2 - team as below - 3322 with the second three comprising a CDM and wing-backs. GK - Dieng RCB - McNair LCB - Clarke CB - Van den Berg RWB - the fastest, most athletic academy winger/wingback/fullback. LWB - Engel CDM - O'Brien RAM - Azaz LAM - McGree F - Forss F - Latte Lath Q3 - No idea.
  2. I've got issues with his seeming inability to learn, change things, formations and tactics, and his substitutions. The recruitment this season has been hit and miss, some good, Van den Berg and Rogers, the rest are either poor or we can't tell because of injuries, for instance, how would Latte have done with a full season? I don't know whether I'd get rid, I just know this season has been rubbish, and last season seems like an aberration. Steve Cooper is free. We can't get anyone better than that because Gisbon won't take managers from other clubs. I still think we have the bas
  3. https://www.gazettelive.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/middlesbrough-predicted-team-vs-leicester-28649213 Craig Johns thinks Forss is fit and playing, along with Dieng. Looks like 5221 to me.
  4. Peter Beagrie - for the hated list
  5. Is that the Southgate who was sacked after a 2-0 home win, leaving us in 4th place, 1 point off top?

  7. Southgate was sacked after a home win. 2-0 against Derby. The win left us in 4th place. 1 point off the top.
  8. Southgate was sacked when we were a point off the top, in 4th place, after a 2-0 win.
  9. What do the (+1) and (+2) mean?
  10. What the heck does Coulson have to do to get a go at LWB?
  11. Yes you're right. Argentina won their first 4 games then got beat by Germany, that obviously means the system they played was wrong. My mistake.
  12. "Bielsa has often converted midfielders into versatile defenders, and a prime example of this was the 2010 World Cup. He used Waldo Ponce as a dominant central defender and slotted two quick defensive-minded midfielders either side of him in Gonzalo Jara and Gary Medel."
  13. If Tav is playing RWB I can't see him being benched for Roberts, who is certainly not going to play there.

  15. There are some who believe he has been less awful at LWB. But at LB he was directly responsible for at least 2 goals conceded, but my memory is awful so there could be way more.
  16. Didn't he play Johnson at left-back in those games and wasn't he awful?
  17. 1- yes 2 - no 3 - both ways are fine. It's whether you put jam or cream on first that really matters.
  18. Would anyone take Howson or Britt, considering the current financial situation? From the article above, when he says someone who can change things, that sounds like a 'Roberts' type player. If we could get someone like that in on loan and see where we are in January, the window will have been okay.
  19. If fans can't go back, will there be some leeway with FFP rules to allow more investment to stop clubs from going bust?
  20. But is 433 better than 352? Do we have the players for 433? Johnson is ineffective at LWB and terrible at LB. Where would Roberts play in 433? Would that mean we only played one of our strikers rather than two, and how is that better?
