If you read through this board (and other boro boards) there was all sorts of excitement and claims that Scott was sourcing signings for us and that P...
@exmil Except that the signings of Sporar, Lea Siliki and Payero were being used as a stick to beat Warnock with; everyone was claiming that these w...
Not really much to say about that. During the first half Dijksteel and Fry were being overrun but they got a grip in the second. On the whole we didn'...
I was away in Dundee so didn't get to see or listen to the Swansea match live but it felt like a piece of the jigsaw; we didn't play well (largely it ...
I must admit that I didn't expect Wilder to be able to change our pattern of play so dramatically and so quickly. It means that even if we lose I can ...
What is this strange feeling I'm feeling? What was that odd thing our players were doing when they kept kicking the football to each other? I though...
Huddersfield seem to be pretty inconsistent and I feel that we could catch them on an off-day at the weekend. I can imagine this being a 0-0, somethin...
If that had happened under Warnock you would again think he just doesn't have a clue how to organise players. However, I actually think there were gre...
The consensus was that it was not but I did notice two things. One is that players on both sides stopped until the Millwall player with the ball reali...
From listening to that it sounded like there more plusses than minuses but still a lot of work needed. One plus was that at least we didn't fall apart...
It's always exciting when it feels like it's the start of something. It's possibly the first time since AK that a manager was appointed to improve us ...
I actually feel that for a long time we have lacked the ability to attack as a team. In his first full season, AK added good defensive organisation to...
Wilder is certainly talking the talk but most of new managers have been able to do that. His track record indicates that he ought to be able to walk t...
Obviously I don't know all the ins and outs but you can piece together a timeline from the outside. Warnock was an emergency appointment by Gibson who...
I guess the one issue with appointing Wilder or anyone known to fans here is that there will be some in the fanbase who are immediately Wilder out. Ot...
I think he has left at the right time. He saved us, he steadied us but he couldn't quite move us forward. As Meatloaf said, two out three ain't bad. I...
The Baggies play the kind of intense, high-pressing game we crumble against so it's hard to see us getting anything out of this. Last year, Barnsley b...
@werdermouth He also says this about Man Utd His teamsheet offered us a handy window into the confusion. Four of the back five that had served U...
Agreed that you can't blame Warnock for players' mistakes. Tav's backpass was as calamitous as Lumley's mistake in the last game. (yes he got a nudge ...
Well, if Warnock can keep us playing like this he deserves to keep managing. Good, enjoyable game of football. Impressed by Daniels. Coburn has bee...
Luton, like us, are having an inconsistent season though expectations are lower meaning that they feel like they're over-achieving while we are under-...
Although many people criticise Warnock for being "a dinosaur" I think his main problem is that he over-thinks tactics. He seems to be obsessed with su...
It feels to me that 4 of the last 5 games have been identical Win 2-0 against Peterborough and Barnsley Lose 2-0 against Hull and Brum In all ga...
That seems to indicate that when it comes down to it, we're not very good. Hard to know whether it's poor players, poor coaching, poor management or s...
@werdermouth The comparison in the article is last season under Warnock. After 14 games under Woodgate we had won 2, drawn 6, lost 6 and were in 22n...
@jarkko Good bit of analysis. Also to bear in mind that McNair can play right back and right wing back while Peltier can play right back or centre b...
I couldn't get to watch or listen to the game live. Looking back to the 4 games since the last international break we've won 3, lost 1 against what ar...
I ended up watching the first 30 minutes of the Peterborough match last night when I couldn't sleep. Yes we were poor but what we weren't doing was pl...
@jarkko The 1st team squad players that left or didn't have their loans renewed. Bettinelli* Bolasie* Neeskins Kebano* Jordan Archer Britt As...
Obviously there is an issue about who might struggle to play on Wednesday. Assuming that everyone who was available against Peterborough is available ...
