SouthernSmoggie 4,242 Posted July 8, 2020 Share Posted July 8, 2020 No Roberts and no Moukoudi at the back..... yeah, think I'm gona carry on working and miss this one. Link to post Share on other sites
AnglianRed 6,320 Posted July 8, 2020 Share Posted July 8, 2020 I'd love to know why Warnock doesn't rate Coulson enough to start him. How much leadership does Friend actually provide? Not a lot, judging from our performances. Happy to see Johnson & Howson in midfield. But Saville & McNair over Roberts & Tav? To be fair, I'm not sure it'd make a difference, but it would be nice to see us start our strongest 11 (on paper) for once. Link to post Share on other sites
wilsoncgp 9,283 Posted July 8, 2020 Share Posted July 8, 2020 1 minute ago, Neverbefore said: McNair and saville are much of a sameness for me except I think mcnair drives forward. Saville was ok v stoke and awful in the other two games in my opinion. I just dont see what he brings to the table whereas I can see what paddy brings if hes on his game. I just haven't seen McNair really give much to us for a long time. He was one of the best players in the first half of the season, he drove us forward. He looked confident and up for it and had a bit of quality going forward. On the opposite side, Saville had a very poor start. I think it's flipped around a bit now though. Saville certainly improved before Woodgate left, whilst McNair dropped off and doesn't seem to be offering very much quality at all. Still, I'd definitely sacrifice one of them for Tav, there's no doubt he's looked better than both of them in his sub appearances. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Skinemrippers 895 Posted July 8, 2020 Share Posted July 8, 2020 I’d put Tav in the middle in place of one of the three. Hopefully McNair can get back to some of his form from earlier in the season when he was driving us forward more. Link to post Share on other sites

Brunners 7,982 Posted July 8, 2020 Share Posted July 8, 2020 I imagine anyone with any hope had it all ripped away in an instant when they saw the teamsheet. Link to post Share on other sites

ManBearPig 1,853 Posted July 8, 2020 Share Posted July 8, 2020 Maybe he’s hoping for an impact from people off the bench. I mean it’s 532 which we’ve had some success with? I just think Millwall are going to be too strong for us ultimately. Link to post Share on other sites
BoroSmoggie 2,710 Posted July 8, 2020 Share Posted July 8, 2020 (edited) Johnson and Friend have cost us all 3 goals since Warnock came in. Costing us 4 points. I’m not having a dig at them, as I never question there effort. Johnson isn’t even a Lb. But the facts are there. They’ve cost us points and will continue to do so. Link to post Share on other sites
Blanco 4,917 Posted July 8, 2020 Share Posted July 8, 2020 Looks like the team has been sent out to hold it tight and late on spring a few from the bench to try and snatch n grab a late winner 1 Link to post Share on other sites
TeaCider24 12,640 Posted July 8, 2020 Share Posted July 8, 2020 Don't see any issue with trying to keep it tight when we've lost 3 of the last 4 and are desperate for any point we can scrape. 2 Link to post Share on other sites

Honestly, I'm not sure if it's such a bad idea. It's not gonna be pretty but if it gets points on the board, who cares right now. As much as we need points fast, we can't afford to keep losing either. Just trying to be mildly optimistic before they inevitably break us down in the opening 10 minutes as someone loses their marker and bundles home for Millwall. 3 Link to post Share on other sites

Lord_Moose 387 Posted July 8, 2020 Share Posted July 8, 2020 Definitely a team set out not to lose. Obviously this means we will concede within the first 5 minutes and any game plan will be gone from there 🙃. Link to post Share on other sites
BoroAbroad 321 Posted July 8, 2020 Share Posted July 8, 2020 Well Maybe a defensive unit is for the best initially. The last thing we want to do is concede early. And it does look like we have a plan B. Anyway. C'mon Boro. We are due a surprise. Link to post Share on other sites
