Another formation thread…joyous.

However, we didn’t? Due to the issues that are now patently obvious. 🤷‍♂️ The comment I made about ‘it’s as if we’re playing to lose’ was probably a step too far into soggy sheet territory, though. Nevertheless, without that typical spirit, drive and actual cohesion we see in MR’s teams, we’re...

I’d even venture to say (if nobody has already), that Middlesborough are an example of a team that had to ‘gel’ due to some major personnel changes - they were abysmal, but now look at them. I think, personally, our issues run a tad deeper than a cosmetic inability to ‘gel’. However, again...

The rigidity of the system, and its current ineffectiveness is getting us caught out consistently. The opposition, for the most part, are utilising the inflexibility of MR (especially as he’s trying to hammer this system into the players so it clicks) and switching it tactically when we’re...

Well, I don’t think any of us are likely to ‘not support the team’ because of the current situation, it’s just that expectations were high after last season - couple that with a particularly promising recruitment drive. Personally, I feel that after 13 games in, the problems are blatant. The...

Sounds like they’re there for the taking, we have to be decisive and stop fannying about.

I believe it was me that inquired about Marco Rus, regarding his ‘readiness’ etc at this level. Last I heard (which was admittedly a while ago) was that he was rated somewhat. The response I had was along the lines of ‘he’s never fit enough’, or something like that.

I’d have been tempted to ask him if Haji Wright can actually hit a cows backside with a banjo, and if so, can the club provide evidence of this achievement.

I can feel a drab 1-0 win in my bones. Own goal to grab another one, his third of the season.

Was just wondering really, as some rate him highly, but then he’s only ever been on the bench a few times.

Hopefully, Allen will be back to energise that midfield. Otherwise, I fear it’ll be more of the same. Any idea if Marco Rus is anywhere near being ready for the first team?

Strachan would have ended up strangling him, probably.

Trust no-one! If I go missing from SBT, you know what’s happened.

If it’s a clandestine community within a community, I’m sure they’ll be in touch now that you’ve shown an interest. 👍🏻

It was only done, in order to get the reaction it has, so that the multi-accounted gang could rile up the biters even more. It’s a common tactic, as I’m sure you’re aware.

From the chances we had, we should have put one away, at least. Can’t say they were as clear cut as some have made out, but they were decent scoring opportunities. Sheaf was really unlucky with that shot from distance. The complete absence of highlights from the second half just emphasises the...

It’s all very predictable, isn’t it - without having that energetic link between midfield and attack IE COH, Allen (and obviously a DMF who can orchestrate) we are completely toothless. Then other factors like team cohesion, defenders switching off, wing backs not getting decent crosses in, it...

The system is not suiting the strikers, at all. Wright is being deployed in a role that isn’t suiting his actual strengths, hence why he’s looking so ineffective, which is the only plausible reason he looks so awful. Look at his highlights reel: he thrives off long balls over the top, counter...

Rune Lange, another free-scoring Norwegian that slipped the net. This was in ‘98 I think, just after we sold Dublin.

Think we need to realise that this will not change, this system and these tactics. Just hope and pray we bring in a Hamer-esque DMF in January, and, well, preferably another creative midfielder. What an absolutely dismal showing, I must say. Frustrating is the word; tactically, it’s just so…urgh.
