RamNut Posted December 7, 2019 Share Posted December 7, 2019 This was the formation today. As Sheffield Utd with three at the back but with an extra holding midfielder instead of a second striker. And that sums it up. Belt and braces. how is a wing back supposed to drive us forward with only one option to pass to? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are we ever going to draw or even score a goal?The fact that our last goal scored on the road was Oct 2nd V Barnsley...and that was a penalty!To play for more than 5 and a half matches without scoring is almost impossible.. incredible.You'd think just by a sheer fluke we could manage one or two .

I don't know why Dowell gets another run when Knight, Sibley and such clearly have the desire and potential ability. This is what I really don't get. I don't want to see the youngsters dropped in it the deep-end, but if he plays Dowell instead!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They aren't important enough to me for me to come on here and try to defend them when things are getting bleak. That's not me. I've don't recall ever being that way inclined? Certainly not in the last 20+ years, so certainly not in my time on here. I think this is a serious case of mistaken identity? I'd imagine the nearest I've ever come to posting "positive spin" is something along the lines of "I'm not too worried at this stage" or "I'm obviously not as bothered as some appear to be"! Feel free to prove me wrong. DittoI I've just copied and posted the relevant parts. Although I didn't speak to a soul for 3 days after Zamora. I can't even remember the last time I posted about Cocu and the 1st team tbh, I'll have to look back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Feel free to prove me wrong. Why, I was even laughing and joking an hour or so after the Bobby Zamora goal, although I do concede I'd only landed back home from holiday in time for kick off (on the telly), so at least I wasn't at Wembley to witness it.... for which I was truly grateful! Enjoy your miserable evening, after today's latest crap performance/result... I'm over it, already! ? PS: Just realised... After twice being accused of negativity in the past couple of days, I suppose I really ought to thank you for this latest accusation. Gotta love this forum! ??? We should be flattered Mucker. We have our own mincey little troll stalking us. My work here is complete! ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IslandExile Posted December 7, 2019 Share Posted December 7, 2019 Cocu out! Why? We're too defensive - get Hughton in. We don't play good football - we need Warnock. Is Pullis available? We don't need yet another transition year - get a new manager in who will hit the ground running. With this squad, albeit minus the four best players from last year and who just about managed to drag us into the playoffs, we should be certs for automatic promotion this year. Why when he had a 3 week preseason with two of those in Florida and no money to spend, why didn't Cocu replace the weaker players in the squad? Why all the swapping of players and formations, we should be experimenting instead. Sheesh!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
