DevKWat 2,365 Posted September 11, 2021 Share Posted September 11, 2021 I was genuinely excited to watch us today because of our new players, but completely forgot about the manager in the process.. 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites

However, that's also massively on Bamba, absolutely nowhere near his man, and frankly he looks slow as ***. True enough - and neither is Jones, really, though he's done alright. Why we stuck with 3 at the back with Paddy injured in the warm up and when we don't have wingbacks to begin with would be a good question for Warnock. Bamba was alright largely - expecting him to go the full 90 minutes was daft though, clearly knackered by the end. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Positions - wrong. Our squad is pretty good. It's on the manager now. Our squad was good at the end of last season too, our January signings made us one of the best squads in the league and our form was closer to bottom half. 2 Link to post Share on other sites

Hate 5 at the back more then anyone, but we don’t have a left back Link to post Share on other sites
Denzel Zanzibar 6,931 Posted September 11, 2021 Share Posted September 11, 2021 Warnock out Bet he blames Siliki and Sporar somehow Link to post Share on other sites
AnglianRed 6,229 Posted September 11, 2021 Share Posted September 11, 2021 (edited) Well I only caught the 2nd half today, due to watching the F1 sprint qualifying race, but have to say I wasn't hugely impressed. Expected this to be a tough game and felt the game was fairly even for the first 15-20 minutes. First goal was an absolute joke and after that it looked like we went back into our shells. Looked sloppy and disorganised after that and it always felt more like Coventry would get the next goal, rather than us. More sloppy defending and poor keeping and its hard to argue Boro deserved anything from this game, even allowing for a couple of good efforts, including Crooks' header off the bar. Warnock still has 6 games to show me he can knock this squad into something resembling an effective team, but the clock is ticking... Surely he can't complain about lack of players any more? 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Dynamo Kev 1,552 Posted September 11, 2021 Share Posted September 11, 2021 on the bright side hernandez looks good, siliki looks like he has a cracking pass/cross and sporar showed a few glimpse's of turning defenders like i seen in his youtube clips. i reckon they will all be good. downside: playing 3 at the back with 2 defenders pulling trailers is a bad idea. playing with wingbacks when we dont have any wingbacks neil warnocks percentage long ball *** is killing us. 3 Link to post Share on other sites

Let’s face facts a great deal of supporters are knowledgeable and stats don’t lie, so the question being why is he here. Link to post Share on other sites

BoroJake 2,331 Posted September 11, 2021 Share Posted September 11, 2021 Taking Hernandez off was a bizarre decision too Link to post Share on other sites
Brunners 7,952 Posted September 11, 2021 Share Posted September 11, 2021 What I do want to say is absolutely fair play to Coventry though, they were excellent today. They're quick, they pass with a purpose, they play some great football and they will do very well this season I think. 2 Link to post Share on other sites
BearSmog 1,382 Posted September 11, 2021 Share Posted September 11, 2021 Usually I wear rose tinted specs and find something positive.. .. but the specs are tinted with turd after watching that. Warnock out... 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Redcar Rioja 5,872 Posted September 11, 2021 Share Posted September 11, 2021 There is now a continuing theme of really abject performances, totally wayward defending with a midfield that look totally lost. We have players being square pegged out of position and we can't even pass to a red shirt. I've never seen so many panicked balls giving away possession. This isn't as bad as Woodgate just yet but it's approaching it fast. Watching this dross is actually worse than Strachan. I can't think of a single justifiable excuse why Warnock's side have put four dreadful performances in a row in and have seemingly learnt nothing. Fair play to Robbins and his Sky Blues they outplayed us and played some good football against a spiritless and confused excuse of a Boro side. Thanks for keeping us up Neil but the race is over and by some distance. There is a real danger that we are now headed towards relegation at this rate and while the plan is to get to next Summer and presumably a Scott appointed Manager an interim now couldn't possibly do any worse and the Football would surely have to be a lot better. Winning while assaulting our eyes and senses is one thing but losing while doing it just doesn't cut it. SG can wait for the fans turning or shake hands with Neil and let him walk now. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
DevKWat 2,365 Posted September 11, 2021 Share Posted September 11, 2021 I really feel for Howson today, was left completely alone in midfield with 4 or 5 Coventry players around him at all times. It’s no wonder they were counter attacking at will 1 Link to post Share on other sites
