ballyclover 210 Posted October 23, 2019 Share Posted October 23, 2019 Nothing but a win was good enough tonight. Nothing has changed. Players are lead by the manager. The manager is not up to it. Link to post Share on other sites
BillinghamBoro 229 Posted October 23, 2019 Share Posted October 23, 2019 Part of me wonders is the coaching staff impacting the confidence of the players or is it soley down to players being crap? Defensively we still look shambolic and it seems that many of our players don't totally know what roles theyre meant to play Link to post Share on other sites

Just need one to go in off a butt cheek or something. I thought that the last two games have been much better played, we just can't hit a barn door. Fulham will have a field day Tbf if fletcher didn’t have butt cheeks for feet we might have scored 🙂 1 Link to post Share on other sites
BoroSmoggie 2,680 Posted October 23, 2019 Share Posted October 23, 2019 We can’t score, and we haven’t shown we can all season. Feel for Woodgate tbh. We need to get a striker in in January. Someone nasty who’s gonna annoy the defence and get stuck in, hold the ball up and challenge for headers. sick of us having strikers who play on the edge of games, and are to nice to play against.

boro-unger 3,818 Posted October 23, 2019 Share Posted October 23, 2019 We could have played for a week and not scored. We'd still be pinging balls over the bar from cm's out and fumbling on the ball instead of shooting. Worried for saturday Link to post Share on other sites
Boro Scot 75 Posted October 23, 2019 Share Posted October 23, 2019 Let's be honest, our lack of goals is not down to bad luck, it's sheer poor finishing and nothing else. Luck changes and evens itself out over a season, poor finishing doesn't. 2 Link to post Share on other sites

wilsoncgp 9,230 Posted October 23, 2019 Share Posted October 23, 2019 We deserved to win this game, no doubt about that. We had the chances to do it, no doubt. We absolutely need to take the chances we have created, that's the difference between 1 and 3 points tonight. Still need to improve. No offence to them as they worked hard but Huddersfield were not good tonight. I think in some ways whilst I want to be positive, this wasn't as good an achievement or performance as the West Brom game as I just don't think we needed to play the defence we did tonight, Fry wasn't needed in that game. Tough game at the weekend, I'm off on holiday for a few days after so would be nice to go away with 3 points. Going by their result tonight, a win would be terrific on paper.

billsykes 17 Posted October 23, 2019 Share Posted October 23, 2019 I thought it was a decent performance. One positive was young Pears. Didn't have much to do but what he did have he did competently, although his kicking needs to improve. The club have said don't expect any big spending in January but if they could find a decent striker then I have no doubt the effect of someone actually providing an end product would have a positive effect on the whole team,certainly enough to finish mid-table. The striker in question doesn't have to be an expensive world beater, just someone who is better than what we have would do, can't be that hard surely. Link to post Share on other sites

It's not the defence I'm worried about after the last 2 games for sure. I think the confidence naturally falls when you're in the position we're in. It's a tough job for any coach to turn around but I'd absolutely be testing their ability to score in high pressure situations in training. Link to post Share on other sites
