[Gibbo]

If he was truly stubborn then he would be more likely to fit what players he has available to the same system.

I get the impression a lot of people on here think you can just change systems and styles of play at the drop of a beat. You need some consistency of tactics and systems or players will be all over the place.

This season we’ve played the following formations, off the top of my head:
5-3-2
5-2-1-2 (AM behind 2 strikers)
5-2-2-1 (the box)
3-6-1 / 5-4-1 (whatever you’d call it)
4-2-3-1
4-1-2-1-2

If anything, Robins has been comparatively changed things a bit too often.

Fair point

Rotherham will get a win tonight I feel at Boro. Boro have a really injury hit team and a very inexperienced bench.

 

[shmmeee]

I agree that Robins is good at having his teams adapt, but he often has to be forced into it. Our most successful tactic in any given season is rarely the one we set out to play at the start.

Isn’t that the whole point of being adaptable?

But Rotherham are really tired.

I can see a draw.

How many players have Middlesbrough got out?

Bristol rovers basically relegated from league 1

Robins got a hell of a tune out of Zainbrooke. To think we won the league with him and Shipperz occasionally playing midfield together. Wow.

Boro youngsters looking nervous in the warm up

Not occasionally, they were our first choice pairing.

Rovrum score!!! 2 minutes in 1-0

Yeah, I didn't say it was a bad thing! Obviously, you'd rather he got it right first time though...

[jordan210]

[It’sabatch87]

Derby are about as inform as Hugh hefner

 

[Gibbo]

It ain't all over.....

 

[Evo1883]

It ain't all over.....

For us ...it's pretty much done

 

[Evo1883]

Boro had a perfectly good goal chalked off as the Rotherham defender knocks ball from keepers hand

 

[AFCCOVENTRY]

Haha... that’s a Boro goal I tell ya... disallowed

 

[Evo1883]

2nd look , it's probably the correct decision

 

[AFCCOVENTRY]

Derby fans shitting themselves looking at the live table

 

[fatso]

Derby fans shitting bricks

Derby fans shitting bricks

It's a more perilous position than we were in before last Thursday...I'd be shitting it if I was them too

 

[Evo1883]

Just saying , city win 3-0 we are 15th

 

[Ccfcisparks]

I think its fair to say that this Rotherham game isn't ending 1-0

 

[Evo1883]

Boro ontop , can't see them not scoring

 

[Otis]

Boro look like scoring with every attack.

 

[Evo1883]

Rotherham down to 10 men , crooks off for elbow

 

[Skybluefaz]

Bad challenge that

 

[Skybluefaz]

Accidental tbf, clattered though

 

[Evo1883]

No malice , just a clumsy challenge

 

[fatso]

Rovrum red card, down to 10 men!!!

 

[Ccfcisparks]

Rotherham Red! Nasty by Crooks that, would have said a yellow though.

 

[jordan210]

Not a red for me. Dint look for the player. Clumsy but wasn’t on purpose
