TLF10 4,440 Posted June 27, 2020 Share Posted June 27, 2020 Evening All, Absolutely huge win that for us in every sense of the word. Unfortunately I did not get chance to watch the game as I was working but can someone kindly tell me the following two:- 1. How did Friend do as a CB in a back 4? 2. How did Howson do as the defensive midfielder? I feel given his age, experience and excellent physical engine this position is where I want to see him next season provided we stay up and he signs on.

Uwe 3,543 Posted June 27, 2020 Share Posted June 27, 2020 Forgive me ignorance but can someone please explain the Colin thing to me in reference to Warnock. I saw it a few times on the stoke city forum but don’t get it 🤷♂️ Link to post Share on other sites

He’s a good enough squad player at this level. Surely low wages? Has done a reasonable job nearly every game he’s played this season. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

You don’t play international football if you aren’t a good footballer. I agree on Saville but not on your last sentence. Lee Miller played for Scotland and Chris Killen represented NZ at the 2010 world cup. Haha. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
BoroSmoggie 2,680 Posted June 27, 2020 Share Posted June 27, 2020 Gazette gave Britt a 6/10 today. Jesus. I’ll admit I’m not always his biggest fan, but man that’s harsh on him😂 Link to post Share on other sites
TLF10 4,440 Posted June 27, 2020 Share Posted June 27, 2020 BBC have confirmed something what someone on here just said. Warnock is the first full time manager to win his debut game as a Boro manager since Bryan Robson. Link to post Share on other sites

2plus2 290 Posted June 27, 2020 Share Posted June 27, 2020 Interesting how we all speculated on the formation after the lineup came out, yet it still surprised most of us. Definitely merits to 4-3-3 with adventurous full-backs if you play three CMs in front. Warnock not everyones cup of tea, but he really proved his experience today. 2 Link to post Share on other sites
wilsoncgp 9,230 Posted June 27, 2020 Share Posted June 27, 2020 I'm not so sure Friend had a good defensive game but he wasn't challenged an awful lot. Distribution was alright, though. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Today was a good result against a extremely poor Stoke side but don't forget, they had a lot of changes which I thought we were very fortunate with - against a better team we would definately be punished.
