FFS another injury

Now we fear set pieces

Will we ever produce a good set piece?

How did they both miss that!?!

Here comes Corry!

No surprise to see the majority of the action is in our defensive 3rd of the pitch (52%), only 10% in Boro's

JRC getting a bit angry. A sign things aren't all rosy in the garden?

Good to see Rothwell back but I don't see him as the answer to us being overrun in midfield.

This is absolutely spot on. We can be missing key players but we should always have a recognisable shape, style and structure. If we had that and lost you can hold your hands up and accept we weren't good enough on the night but we are an utter disorganised shambles.

He does. He's going to put it put for a goal kick.

Please, please don't

Fixed

They'll get more than 1 if it keeps going like this.

Its alarming how bad we actually are at defending.

Let off there, Boro player at the back post.

If its 4-2-3-1 it would make more sense, so its probably 4-3-3

Elliott in a 3 in the middle??

I joked about him doing this earlier in the thread. If he does this, any lingering hopes i have of being able to back him any longer will evaporate.

I'll bet Venus super glued it there as a joke and now just wallows in despair at the monster he has created.

We really were spoiled during those years. I remember a mate of mine (Newcastle fan) telling me Benni McCarthy was shite and past it when we signed him:

It was class, we were a great team. Take me back to 05-06, 6th place finish, beating Chelsea 1-0 at Ewood to secure European football (Sav's free kick that skimmed Reid's head and went in) unbelievable stuff. Friedel, Nelsen, Neill, Gray, Zurab, Todd, Peds, Sav, Reid, Bentley, Bellamy, Dickov, Kuqi, Emerton, Tugay etc. Cracking squad of players.

I've got a lot of time for Sparky after his time here but are now going back 16 years (Christ) to when he first joined us. I'd still have him back but with a slight fear that he might tarnish his rep he has with Rovers should he fail.

It would be absolute classic Mowbray to start with a front 3 like: Gallagher---Elliott---Brereton

Where is he going to play in this new set up?

You can scratch McCarty off the list. 'McCarthy takes shock role at Cypriot side APOEL' http://www.skysports.com/share/12121707
