Bristol City vs Middlesbrough [21/02] Match-Day Thread

[Andythetouch]

No game plan no game management. Can’t see danger coming. Can’t even attack anymore.

Time to go

 

[Smoginexile]

How far are we off relegation

 

[dribble]

Really struggled without the triangles and nothing ahead of him to pass to. His best attribute is moving it forward quickly.

He’s struggled because he’s not that good, watch him closely , he’s done nothing in this game .

 

[Andy_W]

Come on Andy, Carrick is as stubborn as they come. He's pandered to nobody, he's just clueless.

I think he's tried this for the sake of trying it, and most on here were crying out for it. This is proof that's not gonna work, was plain to see after 20 mins, even when we were ahead.

This is the most dissapointing of any of the games for me, don't set up defensive when your team/ sqaud ain't geared up for it, this ain't like Karanka's team.

 

[kuepper]

have we had a specialist free kick taker since Leadbitter?

 

[Caretaker1]

No energy no oomph .
I take you ba cl to 5 mins .
Bristol free kick just out of our area .
Bristol guy nudges it to his mate . Ieahnacho stands off then turns his back on the shot .
It's just basics .
We are so slow and deliberate .

Surely no one is still in the Carrick in camp after this?

No, this has got the stench of inevitably around how it ends.

 

[brattleboro]

Wish hed fk off

 

[Priv]

As a team we are disjointed, disorganised and mentally weak. We don’t attack or defend as a unit. There is something clearly wrong with the whole coaching set up, top down.

 

[HolySalami]

Surely no one is still in the Carrick in camp after this?

Nope… tonight has done it for me

 

[Legz]

Like to be a glass half full kind of girl...but enough is enough....even at 1 up this has been torture....no fight....not winning 50/50 balls....no cohesion....I hold.my hands up...things have to change

 

[BlindBoyGrunt]

Hasn't got a clue stands there stroke his beard. We need to pull the trigger out of his depth

Like Santa, but at least he delivers the goods at the end of the season.

 

[Alzi]

Can't necessarily lay all the blame on the players, when Carrick's sees they are knackered and just stands watching. Robins gaffa had the right idea - got fresh legs on.

He gets done most weeks by better managers and can’t adapt when other teams mix it up or make changes.

Most other managers also likely have experienced coaching staff to help them with game management. Carrick has Village and his brother who used to coach Newcastle under 12s or something.

Well, I’m off the board for a couple of days after this…

I don’t need the negativity..:

 

[RavsFan]

We are shambolic, it was Watford all over again, he isn’t learning

 

[ForssAwakens]

Do we go barlaser morris, what is the solution in the middle. That’s where we are losing games.

 

[Mysonpat.]

They've hammered us on the flanks all game. Inexcusable that nothing was done to address the threat.

I'm sick and tired of this dross.

We have needed to invest in good full backs for god knows how long.

 

[allied_assault]

The subs!!!!!!!!

 

[sherlock]

I’ve been staunchly defending Carrick up to now but if asked to say now why he should stay I’ve got nothing.

 

[Andy_W]

It's what was asked though, manager is struggling but squad is not as good as paper suggests, it doesn't matter what team he puts out the players are just not good enough unfortunately IMO

Yeah they look lost, like we're really lacking a leader/ organiser. But it's basic stuff, we have players stepping on each others toes, half asleep to what is going on around them, very, very basic stuff.
