Too many players not out of position for TM to pick that side. Not much hold up play in that front 3 though.

Didn’t we sign the former man city keeper Fran something or other? Good to have our #2 sorted

Both seemed to need a boot up their arse and motivation to compete for their place. Gally in particular might have been too comfortable seeing his name on the sheet every day.

It's hard to second guess the line up as we have no idea who is fit, who trained hard during the lock down and who sat on their ass eating bon bons

Didnt Kun start on the bench for city mid week?

I think you need to reread the comment

Any chance this means matches extend further into summer? Could allow Holtby to recover and be available, no?

A decent manager wouldnt have pissed away 12 million quid on two worthless strikers, rather investing in the areas of need. So yeah a decent manager and the squad, not this squad, would be 3rd

It was all so poor today. Both of the first 2 goals we were defending with only travis behind the ball. Do much space and time for both players 20 yards out. One a screamer, the other good enough to cause a rebound which we were 2nd best like the rest of the pitch. I understand the manager trying to go for it, but playing 3 center strikers, 2 free players with a makeshift back 4 is fucking mental. That white should be reserved for the last 20 min when you need to nick one in. Fucking pathetic

Right! It should be 5 or 6 nil.

Only if you consider "on top" as winning. But without a doubt they were the better side.

TM's investment in attacking players the cause, no doubt.

He was injured for 2 years. Couldn't get a sniff at boro, came here to get a chance to prove himself. Doesnt seem like hes up for it. Theres always darts if he doesn't want to push on.

Should shift to more of a 442, with Bennett on, no?

I'd like to see BB and Davenport get 1/2 an hour. Up a man with what should be at least 3 up, would be a great spot for BB to gain some confidence and for davenport to get his feet wet again.

TM getting a deal done is as difficult and unlikely as BB finding the back of the net.

Without Dack we have no chance at top 6. Luckily our unbeaten run has made it unlikely we are to go down. The balance of this campaign needs to be building for a promotion push next year or the year after. Daventpot, chapman, Buckley, travis galley, bb all need to feature. We need to get them experience and see if they can hack it. Move on from Grahm, Johnson, Bennett in the janyary window.

This summer, We had 2 keepers lined up, one an experienced one and another a young player. Also had 2 CB coming in. Expected to push for playoffs. TM has to go, as nothing he has promised has materialized.

I thought TM indicated we would be pushing for a playoff spot this term?

So is winter but that didnt work for the white walkers

No Lenihan, no Cunningham...means we cant play 3 at the back and cant slide Williams out wide, so we are stuck with Bell in the first team for 2 months. Fuck me!
