He will learn from this

The bloke is learning nothing from these rinse and repeat performances. Change the fooking formation and tactics to suit the 11 players you’ve got on the pitch. A team which is less than the sum of its parts comes down to the manager.
 
It’s getting beyond a joke now. Especially when it comes to the keeper. The defence have no confidence in him so they sit deeper, and he doesn’t talk. This one is purely Down to Carrick as Dieng has been on the bench for weeks, so he’s clearly fit. He’s getting so much wrong recently it’s getting harder to defend

I don't disagree so what do you propose as a solution?
 
If he’s not going to learn from his mistakes and continue to blindly play his one way of attacking football he needs to be given the type of players who will play that way or we need to find a manager who can work what he is given and within the brief of the DoF

What about formation and tactics, given the squad we had available yesterday, what team /setup would you liked to of seen, I am intrigued how different each of our opinions on this are, if at all?

Given our defensive frailties I’d have started with the same formation from the week before and ideally have played lath in place of silvera up front if he was fit enough, if not then I guess he would have deserved to keep his place given his calmness in front of goa with his finish against Leicester. I’d have presumed we wouldn’t have been 2 down at half time playing this way and maybe changed it when lath was able to come on.

I too wouldn't of changed a winning formation!

The only thing I would of thought was that our No.1 Goalkeeper would come back inn!
 
Only thing I'd have done different today is play our best right back Tommy Smith, play our captain Darragh Lenihan, play our best midfield partnership of Johnny Howson and Hayden Hackney and obviously Isiah Jones.
So just half of our outfield players
Scrap that Josh Coburn gets in my best 11 so just the 6 out of 10 outfield players missing
 
The Chelsea away game spelled it out in huge letters and big f numbers.

We are the architects of our own demise trying to play to a system that we do not have the players for.

And the whole of the division saw that. Let boro d!ck about at the back when we need a breather- they will think they are in control. Push onto them when we need a goal.
 
I always think back to the interview Carrick gave following his first home game. We drew 0-0 and he spoke very highly of the performance, saying we will win games if we continue to play this way and believe in the philosophy.

He was right, we did start winning games and continued to play excellent football along the way.

Difference then was we had the players to enable us to play that way. We don't now but I think Carrick is still thinking if we continue to believe in the philosophy it will come good again, even if it doesn't happen until next season.

Concern is, we might not even be a Championship club next season.

You can’t really argue with this it simply does doesn’t work with this squad.

We are gifting teams goals it’s self inflicted and this league is hard enough with out that

I believe we never have had a 0-0 under Carrick

I don't think we have. We've also only kept 3 clean sheets away from home since he took over.

I really like MC and want him to succeed and make his tactics work, but he needs to abandon his philosophy until we have the players capable of playing that way without giving the opposition a goal or two head start.
