wilsoncgp 9,230 Posted February 27, 2021 Share Posted February 27, 2021 Just now, DanFromDownSouth said: The audacity of Neil Maddison to say Britt up top hasn't worked, but not the tactics of pumping balls into the box again and again and again. Surely before kick off today anyone with half a brain could tell that wasn't going to work. I think he had a point in what he was saying though, he was saying something similar to what others on here were saying in that that striker up front is not doing anything for us. I said pre-match we might as well play Hall up there and I wasn't even kidding, our fit strikers are that useless for how we play. He was saying we'd be better off playing someone like Kebano in there instead, maybe as a kind of false 9. Drury laughed it off as if the idea that Middlesbrough can use a formation made famous by excellent teams is like delving in the dark arts which we're not capable of. And whilst they might build a team around intentionally playing that way when we don't, we do have players right now who could try playing with that formation and there's only one way we're going if we continue to play the same way. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

He’s barely looked like a footballer since he’s joined us and that might well be cos he’s missed so much football but that still means he shouldn’t be out there doesn’t it? I think Mendez Laing’s selection was based on the superstition that he’s bound to do well against his old club. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Neverbefore 10,695 Posted February 27, 2021 Share Posted February 27, 2021 If this score stays the same, this is 10 points from our last 33 possible points plus an exit from a cup. That's relegation form. As bad as any period under woodgate. Only thing keeping me going is that Warnock walked from Cardiff when he realised he couldn't turn things around. I hope he does the same here. 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites

nunthorpered 1,920 Posted February 27, 2021 Share Posted February 27, 2021 Just lack the real quality to make a push i think. Don't think anyone else could do any better with this group of players tbh Link to post Share on other sites

BoroJake 2,331 Posted February 27, 2021 Share Posted February 27, 2021 The season is over now really. No way are we getting top 6 and no chance of relegation either. The club really should look at bring another manager in and letting him learn over the next 15 or so games left. I think we have some pretty good players in our team and to constantly play like this really is awful Link to post Share on other sites
Skinemrippers 894 Posted February 27, 2021 Share Posted February 27, 2021 I know Johnson gets a lot of stick on here but he’s been unlucky to be bombed out with our new signings. Was our best for assists wasn’t he? Link to post Share on other sites

thomas 501 Posted February 27, 2021 Share Posted February 27, 2021 If we take Britt off and put Akpom on I wouldn't put Akpom as main striker id put Akpom where Watmore is and put Watmore upfront. See if we can get Watmore to spin them defenders and get behind them with the ball. Link to post Share on other sites
