That is the opposite of what the article says. NEIL Warnock has dispelled a myth that Boro's Head of Football Kieran Scott will bring players to t...
@werdermouth 3-1-4-2 sort of works if you're playing with wingers and using a midfielder as a defensive shield. In that case the right and left side...
This season's transfer window felt a lot like 2017-18 where we just seemed to keep buying with no rhyme or reason. So I thought I would look back at 2...
This feels like an early season crunch match. We win and Hughton is probably toast. We lose and those of us willing to give Warnock time to mould a te...
@original-fat-bob I think JFH would be a terrible case of stunt casting. His track record in management is dire. Assuming that we are neither pro...
I think comparing current performances to Strachan is way over the top. We are nowhere near as bad as that or the chaotic performances under Woodgate....
In some ways, the season starts now. Interesting that Coventry fans seem, on the whole, quite confident of getting a result against us. I tend to thin...
Put me in the camp of those who think this has nothing to do with being "woke" and that trying to use "woke" as a slur speaks more about those doing t...
@k-p-in-spain To be fair, as Maddo would say, the first wave of signings have bedded in pretty well. Crooks, Ikpeazu, and Jones (not a signing but n...
I must admit that the signing of Sporar seems to me to be quite risky. Some quotes from the Gazette's article. "He is not exactly clinical. At lea...
Looking at ins and outs over the whole transfer window. Strikers. Out: Britt, Fletcher, Akpom In: Ikpeazu, Šporar On paper it's hard to judge ...
I guess that we're not actually looking to sell but that if they make an approach we would consider it. In theory we have Morsy, Howson, McNair, Payer...
Only got to see the extended highlights but I remember watching the U23s in pre-season and commenting about how they were playing the ball through the...
Another difficult one to call. I suspect that following the clean sheet at Derby, Warnock will keep the emphasis on defensive solidity. I'll go for 1-...
@jarkko He struggled in the game against Blackpool but I think it was unfair on the U23s to throw so many into the same game. It is difficult when t...
I would be really, really surprised if Gibson takes that risk. Plus, Scott may feel that Norwich have treated him fairly. There is really no sign of a...
He absolutely shouldn't be. It is highly likely to be part of a condition of his departure from Norwich that he does not share any such information wi...
@philip-of-huddersfield I think that season was the best of both worlds. We had the legacy of Mowbray's footballing approach allied to Karanka's defen...
Although Derby will probably do better than people expect (unless a points deduction happens) because there'll be a certain amount of backs to the wal...
This is the key thing. If we are prepared to sell players like Fry and Tav when they are at the top of their market value we need to have a replacemen...
That was one of those crazy games that happen every now and then. You probably can't take much from it. Ikpeazu, Crooks and Jones were immense. ...
Thinking about the team, I would normally assume that Warnock would aim to pick the same 11. However QPR play 3 at the back and 2 up front so we might...
Listened to it live and just watched the extended highlights. It felt like a typical Warnock team performance and most of what occurred to me has alre...
It still seems to be the case that Warnock's tactics, the shape and players available simply don't fit together. Warnock plays a low defensive line ...
@redcarred @plato Indeed. Warnock seems to like his teams to keep a fairly low defensive line. It's probably why we need pace more so than most beca...
Thoughts after that. We weren't at the races for 70 minutes then we scored and all of Fulham's ghosts turned up to haunt them. We could easily have ni...
Normally you think playing a relegated club for their first match is a great time to get at them following a relegation hangover. This time though, wi...
It is an incomplete jigsaw. You could argue that the only difference between 4 at the back and 3 at the back is that McNair moves forward when playing...
I don't think so. Although you can argue that winning is a habit and, if McNair had scored his penalty that might have led to a victory, at this point...
That was very much a greatest hits of all last season's failings: slow, predictable, rudderless. Crooks and Ikpeazu were our best players for the f...
