Boro v Fulham 0-0

[boro-unger 970]

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--

Doesn't look a bad team to me!

I'll settle for the ball hitting someone on the *** and going in, any goal will do they all only count one.

First game for me today since WBA away last season.  Not expecting much, 2-0 Fulham.  

[Johnmfc81 172]

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

Good news guys I have backed Fulham to win

[smogsterking the Inspirati 500]

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.

[BillinghamBoro 229]

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 🤦🏻‍♂️

[boroie 231]

Shotton injured/suspended? 

[smogsterking the Inspirati 500]

That said it appears Shotton is injured which just again highlights how little depth we have defensively.

[ladyspite 92]

no 3-5-2 becauase Shotton out I guess?

[TAPOUT 361]

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]

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? 

[ladyspite 92]

we could just have put Liddle in played 3-5-2

 

Think we looke dmuch better in 3-5-2
