DanFromDownSouth 1,706 Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 Line-up I feel is entirely to counter/stifle Norwich, which is understandable. Would have liked to see us risk it though, go for Watmore rather than Spence, as I'm looking at this as a freehit. I suppose Warnock looks at it as a mustn't lose? Link to post Share on other sites
pikerman 1,089 Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 Sorry but having seen that team it strikes me we have just put the white flag up and are hoping to keep the score down Link to post Share on other sites
Blanco 4,900 Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 So we spend the whole season moaning about how crap our strikers are.... then we replace them with a player that we have not yet seen playing for Boro..... so we moan about him replacing our ineffective strike force 🤷♂️ Some supposed fans just love a good moan 6 Link to post Share on other sites
Dan1234 1,048 Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 That is possibly the strangest lineup I've seen. Warnock has lost the fecking plot. Knew Robert's would be insta dropped despite him being as good anyone else last match. Baffling..... Link to post Share on other sites

There aren’t many goals in that team at all. Happy with that back line though. Should hopefully keep things tight. Looks like a team built to counter attack quickly. Think Watmore should have been in there. Link to post Share on other sites

They are on an absolute hiding to nothing. Now we're asking a winger to try and do the same job. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

DurhamRed 2,043 Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 I think we are very much looking to catch Norwich with pace. Fast counter attacking line up Link to post Share on other sites

I think it says a great deal what he thinks about our strikers with him playing there, mind. Or he just thinks our strikers are going to have no chance today so wants more players who can break us out of defence. 2 Link to post Share on other sites
BoroSmoggie 2,678 Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 Not sure how Spence is STILL in the team after his 1. Recent performances. 2. The fact we’ve signed a full back and a winger. 3. We’ve got Roberts, Watmore, Akpom, Fletcher and Britt all on the bench. How he’s got ahead of them 5 in an attacking position is baffling. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

So NW is just chucking them both straight in? 😲 I don't know how much game time Fisher has had lately, but Warnock has admitted Yannick isn't match fit. Can only think he plans to sub them after an hour or so, regardless of how the game is going. Has he already written us off this game and is just using the fixture to get some time into the new guys' legs? Link to post Share on other sites
BillyWoofs_shinpad 1,884 Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 Apparently Norwich are quite literally flying! No they aren’t they aren’t birds or airline passengers. Link to post Share on other sites
