    Obviously excluding this season, when did the following things last happen… 1) we did the double over a team that got promotion (easy). 2) we did the double over a team that got automatic promotion (trickier). 3) we did the double over a team that got promoted as champions (horrible). And...

    Corners

    Agreed, but all under the crossbar, still not one of our players getting a head on any of them.

    Corners

    The 2 central defenders in every team (including us) should be good headers of the ball and a threat from corners. Whoever is playing. If they aren’t, it’s a glaring weakness. Same for the centre forward. All it needs then is 1 other 6 footer in the box and we’ve got 4 threats. As long as the...

    Corners

    Don’t want to be too negative after tonight… But when was the last time we scored from a corner (apart from the recent own goal)? We have enough of them. I actually can’t remember us getting our head on one the last few games. Not sure if it’s the delivery or the players in the box but we’re...

    * The Unofficial "Official" Boro v Leeds United [04/24] Match Day Thread *

    4-3 against a top team when 1 of their goals was blatantly offside. Started with our 3rd choice full backs, missing several centre backs and our best midfielder. A bit of luck next season, we’ll be all right.

    Jones adds loads to the team in terms of being an out ball, committing defenders, getting us up the pitch and tracking back. Lots of people don’t see this. Sadly he’s not at the level he was 2 years ago in terms of the headline making contributions. 1 on 1 he used to be able to beat his man...

    As expected. Decent on occasions this season but too many injuries and too many poor performances to be consistent enough. I’m quite optimistic about next season if we can get a bit of luck. And a few new signings obviously.

    Someone needs to get a message to the ipswich players that us beating them is bad for norwich.

    An ambitious 1-6-3 formation?

    True but really good delivery from the corner

    2 set piece goals, what we are unable to do.

    Don’t we need to catch them though? Or is getting to the playoffs not what we’re trying to do?

    “We’re playing Middlesbrough next week just stay with the defender and wait for the ball/error to come “

    Agreed. But my point is, if he keeps making mistakes like that, we need to stop passing to him in those positions. That shouldn’t be the case, but sadly it is.

    “We’re playing Middlesbrough next week just stay with the defender and wait for the ball/error to come “

    The problem (and Carrick has to take some responsibility) is trying to play the same way when players simply aren’t up to it. That way of playing out is what I want us to do - long term - when the players capable of doing it are fit and playing. In that video above, Barlaser is under a bit of...
