boro-unger 970 Posted October 26, 2019 Not feeling confident about this one. Think Fulham will be getting promoted this season. Even though they're only 7th, there's only 2 points between them and the autos. 2-0 to Fulham What do you think it will take to stop the rot? If we start playing attacking football similar to v Luton - this will get the fans excited again and give the team a bit of impetus. Do you genuinely think Woodgate knows what he is doing? I think he's an ok coach by the sounds of it. Whether he's a good manager, I'm not so sure. Britt and Fletcher's form: lack of confidence or lack of ability? Lack of support from midfield I would say. Although last week I think it was tav was breaking down the left against WBA and instead of getting into the box, Britt ran to the outside of tav, leaving them both on the wing with noone in the box. I think there's a lack of football intelligence there as well. What is our best formation using what we have available? 4231, karanka style. ----------------Britt----------- --Johnson--wing--Fletcher-- -------Howson--mcnair------ Coulson--fry--Ayala--Shotton --------------GK------------------- Doesn't look a bad team to me! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PompeySmog 17 Posted October 26, 2019 First game for me today since WBA away last season. Not expecting much, 2-0 Fulham. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Johnmfc81 172 Posted October 26, 2019 We need the win, it may be a big boost in confidence if we some how beat Fulham today. But I expect a Fulham win unfortunately just can't see where our goals are going to come from. Boro 0 Fulham 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
smogsterking the Inspirati 500 Posted October 26, 2019 Good news guys I have backed Fulham to win Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
smogsterking the Inspirati 500 Posted October 26, 2019 Attacking line up but I feel we should have stuck with the same system we played the last 2 games as at least it seemed to suit our players and we were looking better than we have done recently. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BillinghamBoro 229 Posted October 26, 2019 Not sure why he's gone back to 4-3-3 hasn't worked at all so far none of the players work in that style. Just seems we start putting performances together with the 5 at the back then we bin it off again 🤦🏻♂️ 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
boroie 231 Posted October 26, 2019 Shotton injured/suspended? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
smogsterking the Inspirati 500 Posted October 26, 2019 That said it appears Shotton is injured which just again highlights how little depth we have defensively. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ladyspite 92 Posted October 26, 2019 no 3-5-2 becauase Shotton out I guess? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TAPOUT 361 Posted October 26, 2019 What do you think it will take to stop the rot? Luck and scoring first Do you genuinely think Woodgate knows what he is doing? He either said what the fans wanted to hear or saw things in the players last year that we have never seen. He is probably going to stick with a back 3 now and if he plays the same formation each week we might see some improvement EDIT: shows what I know. Britt and Fletcher's form: lack of confidence or lack of ability? Ability in Fletchers case. I keep hearing there’s a player in there somewhere but f*** me, he is taking time to come out. Britt has scored goals in the past but needs more chances than we can create to get his tally up. What is our best formation using what we have available? I honestly dont know.

SmogDane 1,312 Posted October 26, 2019 Shotton is out due to that injury from last game.. He finished the game though, but that must be, what's keeping him out .. Could it be 4-4-2? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
