Woodgate's football is worse than Pulis football at the moment and we can't even get results. No he didn't. I backed Pulis for a long time mate and I said I'd do it because at the end of the day, he was an experienced manager and he should be capable of getting the results. He categorically did not get the results he should have. Woody's football is not worse than Pulis football. Pulis just pretty much knew how to get his team how to play it. And he still failed. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Playing far too narrow defensively and leaving massive gaps on our left. Our forward play has been pedestrian, we can't get a grip on the ball. Once again, can't wait to get in for half time from early on in the game. We've had a lion's share of luck here not to be more than a goal down. Bola needs to be on, whether we change to 3 centre-backs or change left-back, we need to defend wider and hope we can play them through the middle somehow. Perhaps might even be better for us going forward as Britt doesn't have anyone close enough to him at the top end of the pitch for him to get into a good position. Half-time discussion seems to be blaming our left side problems on Browne for not tracking back, I think that's by design, not down to the individual. We have to change something. They are hammering us all over the pitch. I agree we need to go to wing backs though. Link to post Share on other sites
SouthWest Boro 26 Posted October 4, 2019 Share Posted October 4, 2019 What changes at half time? Needs 10, but we only have 3 and i'd rather keep 1 for later. Johnson for Browne and maybe Saville for Tav. Let's get an extra man in midfield and we can then think about a striker for Clayton/Howson later in the game. Link to post Share on other sites

I'm not. That's exactly what the majority of people on here seemed to want last year. Link to post Share on other sites

ballyclover 213 Posted October 4, 2019 Share Posted October 4, 2019 We are what we are. No other manager is going to come in. We have no money and a chairman who has finally given up throwing money at the club. We're slowly but surely heading back to 86 and not the good parts. Link to post Share on other sites

I would say that woodgates football the last games are way worse than Pulisball.... I rather watch a team that has a plan and everyone atleast work as a team than what we are seeing now....

Come on you can't be serious that he didn't get results. Apart from the six game blip in the season, we always bounced back after a poor result and got either a draw or a win. Pulis team created changed and were solid at the back. Everything were not this season. I'm not blaming woody for the record as I want him to succeed, but that's never going to happen under Gibson.

Pulis spent 20 million last season though and a much better squad, of course he was going to do better, doesn’t make him a better manager than Woodgate. To be honest they are both absolutely *** and should be no where near this club Link to post Share on other sites

It’s not like we are playing free flowing football and losing games 4-3? We are worse than poor with no sign of getting any better.
