HIGHERSTATE Posted November 14, 2020 Share Posted November 14, 2020 (edited) As it was under Monk in the first few months, I think fans can forgive the football if we are leaving with 3 points and climbing the table. We've been a bit of a joke for a while now so sh@t football is not going to matter that much. Theres also the oldschool fans that like seeing players getting stuck in. I'm not that excited though.

I don't think you could get an entertaining game out of the team that we have now. I think there's only Bannan that entertains at the moment. We could have any manager around come in and they would not be able to get our sorry lot playing in an entertaining passing way - major surgery and lots of money may be required to do that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not looking for Total Football. I just don’t want the mind-numbing drudgery that made my Boro mates despise Pulis even when they were doing relatively well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The very least we should afford him is a chance. Edited November 14, 2020 by shandypants 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fudge27 Posted November 14, 2020 Share Posted November 14, 2020 If we go 4-4-2 can see Bannan on the left. If we go 4-2-3-1 I see Bannan and Brown fighting it out for the no 10 role Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S72 Owl Posted November 14, 2020 Share Posted November 14, 2020 I think Bannan will play every week still. He’s our best player. Pulis had him in the premier league so I can understand him not playing Bannan much. I do think we could see him play a bit wider than usual though.

Yes, we see flashes of this, but too rarely without the players around him, and hence the frustration we see. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though it's a shame in the sense there's a manager who we know that given time can build solid foundations out of clubs our size. But we know he won't be because some have made up their minds. Anyway, shouldn't you be practising your riffs and flopp shots Corky, instead of depressing yourself in here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pulis does not like people to keep the ball, just get rid as quick as and then chase it down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shiregreenowl 80 Posted November 14, 2020 Share Posted November 14, 2020 I just want winning football.. Instead of terrible non winning football! But I'm a bit funny like that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Been saying this a while , he still wants to play like he’s playing with lee , ff and hooper. Unfortunately for him and us the players aren’t to that standard anymore and he should change his game accordingly. That sounds harsh but it’s what good players do.
