    The answer..

    Hamilton is many months ( possibly more ) away from being a starter. Howson needs to be back in. Hackney is a pale shadows of his pre-injury self right now. Would readily agree with the rest.

    Conway/Lath

    I had to check that Conway was still on the pitch at FT as I hadn't seen him for more than an hour. Sunderland spoiled our cunning counter attack plan by going ahead so were able to put 11 behind the ball. Carrick solution: Endlessly passing sideways in front of that producing a similar effect...

    Borges is terrible

    But is he the best Left back in his family?

    Dana ‘we’re predictable and boring to watch’

    Sunderland who are hardly Burnley from two seasons back, held us with all our 'dangerous' forwards, at arms length for 95 minutes and hardly broke sweat. Their Manager worked us out as others have done already. We never change the tactic so it's straightforward to carry out the plan. We are like...

    Talk to me about Hackney

    His pass completion today must be close to 10%. And his aggressive ball winning seems to have disappeared.

    George Edmundson move Unlikely

    Howson likely to be in at CB.

    Sonny Finch

    A loan move to MK might happen.

    Sonny Finch

    Light years away from being League level, let alone Championship.

    Has our Manager no idea how or when to use substitutions to our advantage?

    Just asking for a friend. Leaving tonights debacle aside to start it seems that Carrick Sub Bingo is a game we can all play along with. In three League games so far we've seen things going wrong which might have provided a better outcome. We were very fortunate against Swansea and rarely had...

    Hamilton

    He looks more than a year away from any involvement other than a cameo role. Having swallowed the line about his speed and trickery I clearly had a too high level of expectation. That has now been adjusted to a more realistic level.

    It was the same at the match BTW. :rolleyes:

    Josh

    I'm afraid that after Coburn shanked that straightforward chance wide he began to take on the look of an eager donkey. Hardly helped of course that pretty much everything going on behind him was inept.

    My Views on Today…

    The last line there sums up the desperate need for an alternative to Engel. He is petrified (or incapable) of going forward. There is no point in the CB's passing out to him from the edge of our area when the ball is passed straight back to them. Engel has the odd tackle in him but he's almost...

    Derby vs Boro MOTM

    Yes, another for Clarke. But isn't it perverse that with six forward looking players on the pitch across the piece and they having two attacks in 100 minutes, one of which we gave them, Clarke is out in front as MoM? Azaz produced long-range shots but I'm afraid he is way too lightweight...

    Who’s going to be our Rotherham this year?

    What gets me is the stubborn resistance to wait until around 70+ minutes to change tactics or players when it's blindingly obvious that subs are needed. Happened last week against Swansea and we were very lucky to emerge with a win. We hardly had the ball for the last hour. This week we became...

    Farke on Ayling

    He's arguably STILL in it.

    Alternatives to Motorway service stations

    What a great site! It's going to be an automatic Go-To.

    Stadium Microphone/Sound system

    Seems to me that the new sound system has the Bass wound up to Maximum. This isn't a Night club. To hear speech more clearly it needs reducing and the Treble increasing IMO. Give it a try at least.

    England vs Iceland Matchday Thread

    24 hours ago -almost everyone happy. Brilliant squad. Picked to score goals. Iceland gave us the picture perfect view of what awaits in the Group stage. So who rated? Well Gordon can beat a man but can't cross his legs. Palmer needs half a dozen touches to set up a shot. Kane misses a sitter...

    Boro knock back Lath transfer enquiry

    Would those who would sell Latte Lath for anything below £20M like to name the strikers they would replace him with for even £20M? I think it would be a very short list. We are looking to add to him, not lose him. Unless you are one of the 'bean counters' there should not be any reasonable price...
