Gibson showed zero backing for woody in transfer window and this is what happens. Gibson has been the problem for years..........the so called best boro fan of all time should just sell up and bugger off and look after Gibson/O'neil holdings 1 Link to post Share on other sites
DanFromDownSouth 1,706 Posted August 17, 2019 Share Posted August 17, 2019 Was excited to see the midfield 3, but it sounds like we have moved away from Woodgate's system completely, which is not suiting them at all. Link to post Share on other sites

I don't know what it is, whether it's the fact all 3 midfielders are too similar, or the fact Fletcher and Johnson aren't pressing high or what, but we're bizarrely bad today.

Jamie-H 1,322 Posted August 17, 2019 Share Posted August 17, 2019 Meh I get the transfer window anger but the coaching displayed in the team setups isn't up to par I don't see discipline in the backline Woodgate's got a decent enough XI to work with he's just showing to be a bad coach so far his system's half *rsed and the 'press' isn't zonal enough to last 90 mins we'll always fade late in games. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

What system? I'm still confused as to what it's meant to be other than we press them high up the pitch? I haven't seen anything from us with the ball so far this season. Even at Luton it was more about the press than anything else. I'm just waiting for us to play some football and not only in a few minute spurts here and there. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Downsouth 6,175 Posted August 17, 2019 Share Posted August 17, 2019 Goes to show what Coulson was adding to the team in terms of attack which is now missing Link to post Share on other sites
Denzel Zanzibar 6,931 Posted August 17, 2019 Share Posted August 17, 2019 Gibson interfering in team selections/tactics too? This just seems all very wrong, and a far cry from how we setup against Luton. Link to post Share on other sites

Against Brentford we definitely had Clayton sitting deep and Wing and NcNair pressing further up. In a 3 man midfield triangle. Seems like we have gone away from that completely.

Brunners 7,952 Posted August 17, 2019 Share Posted August 17, 2019 McNair goes down with a head injury and Blackburn breaking forward - no stoppage of play. Graham goes down with a head injury and Middlesbrough breaking forward, instant stoppage of play. Consistency woo! Link to post Share on other sites

Borodane 6,246 Posted August 17, 2019 Share Posted August 17, 2019 Sad how we’ve gone from a PL team to a standard championship plodder team that’s only been strengthened by league 1 players. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
