Then we’ll disagree. Plenty that could have been better, of course. Plenty. But I’m not going to ignore plenty that we did well and lacked composure or a bit of luck.
The coach might not be using what we've got to anywhere near its potential but that does not excuse displays tonight like those of Brittain, Styles, Woodrow and to a lesser extent Helik. The new colossus up front will not be our saviour either, by the way. One or two showed a bit of flair and fight. But they aren't going to improve as a team under Schopp. He's been given a poisoned chalice with all the changes down the Well, he might as well now drink from it. He's a goner.
To be honest Schopp only told us what we already know about Palmer I personally didn’t see anything wrong with it and it’s up to Palmer to prove he can last the 90 minutes.And by the way Schopp out tonight please.
Woodrow was hopeless, touch like a brickie's apprentice.. We should have lost by at least 4. I think you need to go to Specsavers, or you are just playing devil's advocate.
Not at all. I just find it disappointing people are completely ignoring the really good chances we created. And I’ve said multiple times how poor our back line is with no midfield or front press. If anything, Schopp is trying to pander to Ishmael too much. Ditch his system, do it fully your way Schopp, if you’re going to get sacked, do it playing to your beliefs.
Yet another dreadful performance and, sadly, we're getting worse. There's nothing positive anyone can realistically say to put a positive slant on yet another pathetic, inept, shameful display. Nothing. In my opinion, we're going backwards in leaps and bounds and at an accelerating rate, both on and off the field.
Team against Sheffield Utd: Collins Sibbick, Kitching, Moon J.Williams, Hondermarck, Gomes, Oduor Cole, Oulare, Iseka. Helik, Styles, Palmer, Brittain and Woodrow can all fck off. Taking us down.
And they got 2 with 2 goals where our defence couldn’t be arsed to move. They could have had more, but the 2 we conceded was awful defending. On one day we could have lost 4-0, on another we could have won 4-0.
I can’t believe people are having a go at Helik. He’s played with a central midfielder who’s never started a league game on one side and Paul Digby reincarnate on the other. He IS the back three!!!
There have been a fair few games where the opposition have had many more good chances than Boro tonight. They scored from two set pieces. Big blokes with muscle. Admittedly one chap missed one that I would have put in. And we did have Oduor through. And one or two other efforts. I don't count any chance involving Brittain because "chance" implies we might score.
Schopp has a part to play of course, as do players, fans, fitness coaches and analysts. With special mention for the person in charge over the summer.
