We all know that means he gets an extended run in the team and over a dozen goals to secure another two years. Then next season hes back to being incapable again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has ranged from average to awful, or even worse in the games against Preston and QPR for example. We need to do something to improve it.

Of course the theory is we get the ball wide and get crosses in for the big men but that can be difficult if you are getting bossed in centre midfield. They are playing 4-3-3 today. Dropped Ayala and they’ve brought Johnson in the team. Still have the same problem tho - they have Clayton in defensive midfield with Wing and McNair also in midfield. Looks like we will be direct today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

room0035 Posted September 28, 2019 Share Posted September 28, 2019 What's wrong with Bates and Thorniley they never make the team or even the match day squad, does Fox really bring more to the team than these two we are not building players for the future with giving any youth games. this is not throwing youth in unprepared these are players that are good enough and will only get better.

Agree, but maybe we'll bypass midfield and look for longer balls into the channels behind their wing backs? The key is making them play with a back 5, rather than a 3. Allow them to have the ball and drop deep as we have been and we're going to be overrun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigash_swfc Posted September 28, 2019 Share Posted September 28, 2019 This could be tactical genius by Monk. Or it could be same old, same old. Over the course of time we've learned Barry Bannan doesn't work in a 4-4-2 but if Boro's attacks are very much down the flanks, he might be alright today.
