pikerman 1,121 Posted January 14, 2017 Share Posted January 14, 2017 I have not read any posts where,as suggested, people are having a go at Gestede. Personally I feel sorry for the guy having to play as a forward in this tactical system. Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Changing Times Posted January 14, 2017 Share Posted January 14, 2017 Ignore Beamish, his only input on here is digs at other people which the mods continue to ignore for whatever reason. This. Gets away with murder. It's hardly murder. ;) And neither of you two know what the Mods do behind the scenes in regards to discussion and PMs sent to posters when they step over the line You're right I don't know that but what I do know is that he continues to do it so either he's ignoring you or nothing is being said at all. It's not a one off, it's pretty much all the fella posts. Link to post Share on other sites
AnglianRed 6,320 Posted January 14, 2017 Share Posted January 14, 2017 What was said? Just basically saying that Maddo has been 'throwing fuel on the fire' about negativity, and claiming that Maddo was leading the 2 up top calls, and apparently asking for wingbacks(?). safe to say he wasnt having any of it So it was all true what he was saying? He also said Maddo was the worst commentator wed ever had and was stealing a living... Possibly a tad harsh then :D Whoa! I'd have told whoever it was to get their backsides over to the studio and say it to my face. I know Maddo isn't the most eloquent guy ever to pick up a mic, but he is passionate about the club and just wants us to do well. Link to post Share on other sites

I think the issue is that Maddos style worked quite well with the completely rose-tinted Ali sat next to him but not so much with Mark Drury. I don't enjoy listening to them anymore, not even the phone in really. Study showed his true colours regarding AK after the walk out when he went absolutely full on slating him on the radio.

Oslo_Syd 320 Posted January 14, 2017 Share Posted January 14, 2017 If there's anything more predictable than Boro's tactics (at times) it's the reactions of OneBoro members. Win and the team (and Karanka) are practically demi-gods. Draw and we play boring, negative football (and Karanka out). Lose and we are crap (and Karanka double out). Lest we forget, we played Watford at home back in October and lost. Given the death of Graham Taylor, I was dreading this match because I was sure that Watford would pull out of all the stops. I'd call coming away with a point a creditable result, in the circumstances. Our scoring weakness has been identified and steps are being taken to try and rectify this. End of debate. Why can't people accept that we're new to the Premier League and we are still finding our way? No, it's not always high-octane adrenaline pumping excitement to watch but I can live with that for this season, as long as we stay up. Link to post Share on other sites
ManBearPig 1,853 Posted January 14, 2017 Share Posted January 14, 2017 Another game and another dissapointing performance. Is this what it's come to now? Grinding out 0 - 0 results away from home with 5 at the back and 1 shot on target? That's consistent. I turned off after 60 minutes as I was genuinely bored. Nothing about that game was entertaining from a fans point of view, let alone the neutral. What was our game plan today? Genuinely would love to hear other people's thoughts on this? I love everything boro related, but this is not how I would want us to play. We have 0 ambition to win a game, I don't see how that's a good aspect. Fans who make the away trips must be so bored. I honestly don't get how yoi could spend that money and give up a part of your life for one shot on goal and a *** performance. What worries me the most is that it's deemed as acceptable and part of the course with Karanka. I'm not even looking forward to next week's match as it just pains me to watch us. Please say I'm not the only one? For people who still defend Aitor, apart from a point and a clean sheet, what impressed you about the performance today? Don't get me wrong, they are good things. But why are we happy that we have kept it tight rather than 0 goals again? Link to post Share on other sites
p_mards 1,365 Posted January 14, 2017 Share Posted January 14, 2017 Our two most successful managers of recent times - McClaren and Karanka - have been given the tag of negative football by a decent section of our fans. Yet surely them same fans must see the correlation between tactical awareness(or negativity) and what they have achieved?. I find it funny in this conflict of knowledge/opinions that Karanka is apparently the idiot - just like McClaren would have been and idiot over a decade ago - and not those slagging him off, who'll have been brought up on a footballing knowledge of screaming "four, four, ***ing two!".

Will 2,958 Posted January 14, 2017 Share Posted January 14, 2017 Might be of interest given our current game plan in most games. Fix the attack and we'll fly up the league. https://www.google.co.uk/amp/s/5addedminutes.com/2011/12/10/how-much-is-a-clean-sheet-worth/amp/?client=safari Link to post Share on other sites

Not impressive football obviously but I was surprised that Watford were so negative and defensive considering our league position and the fact that they were playing at home. Draws won't get us to safety but I'll settle for away points IF we can chalk up 3 points at home. Link to post Share on other sites

We can all go on about negative tactics, one man up front etc, most teams play one man, only problem is the quality of player giving support to the front men, its something we lack.

ManBearPig 1,853 Posted January 14, 2017 Share Posted January 14, 2017 I fully take on board the vital point and clean sheet. But apart from that, what else is commendable about our performance? We keep the ball well, but then do nothing with it. Link to post Share on other sites
