What an awful game so far

We’re dire to watch. We have absolutely nothing to offer in the final third and the midfield 3 are just combative battlers.
 
It's just so predictable. Coventry defending in numbers and in depth, but Boro just don't have the guile to create anything.

Need more attackers.
 
Painful.

The lack of options meaning we always go back to the keeper, who then hoofs it forward to no one in particular.

Just need to pass the ball around with a bit more pace.

Dreadful to watch so far.
 
No urgency. They all want a rocket up their *rses. Whats with this leaving 1v 1 at the back too. One slip from Fry and we‘re in trouble. Britt is woeful so far too.
 
It'll come have faith. It's incredibly difficult to break down a team that are literally sat behind the ball and then launching it away at every opportunity. We catch them at the back and we'll get in.
 
Need to keep getting the ball to Roberts. Really hope we manage to break these down. Need to win these games.
 
How is Coulson not playing on the left? Spence is so right footed he's got no chance. Coulson seriously isn't fancied.

Britt has touched the ball about 3 times. He doesn't look like he's got a shot in him never mind a goal.

This is nailed on 0-0. They are the first side I've seen where I've thought 'they are awful'.
 
I've defended Britt till I'm blue in the face but I'm exasperated with him. What does he do? He can't even hold the damn ball up.
He's had a tricky game so far but he also has been injured- he needs the ball in behind but when he's had the chance he has snatched at the chances like he's trying to do too much.
 
It needs a centre forward that can (at least occasionally) hold the ball up.
If we had that, Roberts, Tav and Spence would be able to cause problems running off him.

Howson and Morsy have been tidy and probing but we need to be able to feed it into the CF and work off him.
 
I'd switch to 4-2-3-1 2nd half. Move Tav wide right, Browne wide left and Coulson left-back. Take off Saville and Spence. They're there for the taking so let's go for it.
