Our new tactic is go long and hope we pick up the 2nd ball it’s like robins is out of ideas with these players
Our new tactic is go long and hope we pick up the 2nd ball it’s like robins is out of ideas with these playersAgreed, it effects everything. Our midfielders starting position is 35 yards from our goal because of it, the wing backs just playing as full backs and O'Hare and forwards isolated.
The old adage "play in their half" is virtually impossible
100%But that also runs the risk of losing the shape & losing what would have been a credible point hence most changes are like for like.
It's a difficult one.
Exactly. Counter their quality with energy and fresh legs. If he can't back baka pask, sheaf, Allen with 10 to go to run, hassle and chase. Why the fuck has he kept them in the squad
They both possibly came back too early from long term injuryRose and Dabo have both been very disappointing this season. Hoping it’s fitness and not quality related. Or we need another two players to add to the list in the summer.
Wilson is a shite keeper so why don't we put Baka in the net. This is the same logic.I’m ready to be shot down so bring it on ...
Drop Walker and Max for Saturday as they have both proven to be utter shite for the best part of this season . Put Osti up front as target man , someone who can head the ball and put a shift in . And Hamer playing number 10 with O’Hare just in front to give us more outlets.
nothing to lose ( well maybe ) just another game .
Called for a flat 4 after Blackburn we need to be using James Hamer Kelly together we lack composure in midfield I can’t belive robins let it go so long tonight
Marosi
Dabo osti fadz mccallum
Hamer Kelly James
O’Hare

Yes I think your right but we couldn’t get the striker as he knew sheaf wasn’t up to fillin in for Kelly so he chose to fill the CDM over a striker as he felt that must of been the priority it’s clear he don’t fancy sheafSheaf isn’t my favourite, I wouldn’t start him ahead of Kelly and Hamer.
James came in to steady us, which he didn’t do. Plus wasted the budget. Playing Sheaf and spending the James and Gyo money on a striker would have us more points in my opinion.
It's not a tactic, it's a consequenceOur new tactic is go long and hope we pick up the 2nd ball it’s like robins is out of ideas with these players
That’s no argument. We lost. The worst we can do is lose. Making changes may have done nothing but it at least would have been an effort and we may have paid off.

I'm as frustrated as everyone else tonight but have to accept Boro have a better team than us
If we'd held out for a point I'd have been delighted
Maybe we could have made changes but our defenders had been throwing themselves in to make blocks all night
I actually thought Dabo still looked ok and wouldn't have changed him
Maybe that's why I'm not the manager
Dublin did alright in both positions!Sticking a defender upfront will show straight away how much more running and mobility is needed to play there than at the back. It would be a shit show.
Most of our squad were and if you compare our bench to most Championships sides bench I think my piont is proven.
Baka came on against Brentford and pushed their defence so they couldn’t push up and we didn’t concede. Walker and Max were tiring tonight, couldn’t press, Boro play further up and score.So when was the last time Baka ‘paid off’ ?
How are people excusing not making changes because of a budget?
Why are we bothering playing games?
If we have shitter players then it's more reason to make changes as we have shit tired players.
Even if we brought on pask and then somebody up front to press and run about.
He has tried that we’ve gone long and hoped to play off mistakes the Brentford game was a fluke the level of performance was not one we are used to seeingBut he got so much out of them v Brentford and since them hasn't even tried to repeat that tactic.
Well if that’s the case then he fucked it by signing Sheaf if he’s not going to play him and fucked it by signing James because he hasn’t had any positive effect in our results.Yes I think your right but we couldn’t get the striker as he knew sheaf wasn’t up to fillin in for Kelly so he chose to fill the CDM over a striker as he felt that must of been the priority it’s clear he don’t fancy sheaf

It’s impossible to repeats the tactics vs Brentford against a side like Middlesbrough as it relies on the opposition wanting to build from the back.But he got so much out of them v Brentford and since them hasn't even tried to repeat that tactic.
Well not really, 4 players on that bench were signed or re signed for this campaign. 3 of which aren't deemed good enough to get a run out when the first 11 are dead on their feet. This isn't down to Robins, it's the scouting department, sign less players of higher quality.

The one lovely move involving Dabo and Hamer on the right ended up with Hamer blazing high an wide with his leftWe were playing good stuff midway through the 2nd half and Boro were pinned back, but we didn’t carve out any real opportunities. I knew then Boro would nick it, and let’s be fair that’s what they did., nick it. Just cannot understand Robins not changing the front two at some point, or giving Bapaga a go. We have to beat Derby now
Because it was an obvious thing to target v Brentford as they're obsessed with playing out from the back & won't adjust their game plan, instead backing themselves to play through the press.
Middlesbrough & Blackburn don't play that way.
Somebody mentioned about McFadz dragging us deep, that's a deliberate tactic to counter their pace up front. It worked mostly but we were very poor in possession.

And then barely be able to field a team when injuries hit?
When the boat came inSo when was the last time Baka ‘paid off’ ?
It’s we’ll known that the best way to beat an attritional team is to leave your most tired players in.As said, Boro came to tire us out.
We tired but didnt change anything.
