Personally I'd go 442 or 4231 mind, with Djiksteel at RB. I think they would be yeah just because I don't see either as natural central defenders, that includes McNair although I know he played there earlier in his career. I don't recall McNair playing in a four and being fine for us tbh, certainly not over any period of time? It would be odd for a good defender to be moved elsewhere during his career. Generally that happens when they aren't quite up to it. Link to post Share on other sites

Echo tonight reporting Warnock being 'desperate' for a CB so it seems like we'll get another one in after all hopefully one that has some legs and not the turning circle of a Stobart.

Dynamo Kev 1,552 Posted September 15, 2020 Share Posted September 15, 2020 it appears warnock is not an actual football genius hes just a likable senile old *** who has good coaches as mates. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
DevKWat 2,365 Posted September 15, 2020 Share Posted September 15, 2020 He really hasn’t helped himself by essentially throwing that game tonight. You can make a point to the owner without short-changing the fans. 2 Link to post Share on other sites

They claim Zohore is a live target for us which doesn't fit with anything else we've heard this week, hopefully they're right on a new CB as a priority because I wouldn't mind seeing McNair back in the midfield myself. https://www.thenorthernecho.co.uk/sport/18723289.middlesbrough-will-step-pursuit-new-signings/ Link to post Share on other sites
estonpidge 1,442 Posted September 15, 2020 Share Posted September 15, 2020 (edited) Big Jack's rule was you walk on the pitch with a point don't walk off with less, all good sides are built on solid foundations. Our defending is cr*p so we need to improve it, but also take the pressure off it by scoring first would be nice. So bringing in another CB is fine as long as we still address the sharp end as well. 2 Link to post Share on other sites
TAPOUT 361 Posted September 15, 2020 Share Posted September 15, 2020 I understand the need for attackers but we only have Hall and Fry as genuine centrebacks. Its as much a priority really. Link to post Share on other sites

Maybe we need the CB to replace an outbound asset such as McNair? Link to post Share on other sites

TLF10 4,440 Posted September 15, 2020 Share Posted September 15, 2020 Not sure why people are having a meltdown about Warnocks team selection. He said before Shrewsbury game he would look to make wholesale changes if we progressed given size of squad. This idea he was using tonight's team selection to make a point is ridicuoous because he has already made that point previously. And not only has he made it but its been fully accepted by those above so he does not need to repeat it. Its out there and accepted. Just a case of trying to doing something about it which it seems everyone at club is trying. 6 1 Link to post Share on other sites

He is still apparently on Lennon's list at Celtic. Ability wise McNair is probably our best midfielder it's just harnessing him correctly to get consistency from him he should be on the teamsheet every week with his ability the lads strong, got stamina and can pick a pass he just overplays sometimes or plays within himself. Like I say if the CB we get is a permanent please let it be someone with legs and not a 30+ 6 foot 3+ shithouse we'd be stuck with after Warnock goes. Link to post Share on other sites

Considering his last 2 centre back signings have been hall and flint I wouldnt hold my breath! 1 Link to post Share on other sites
