As a back up target man, I'd rather bring someone like him off the bench than punt long balls up to Hogan and Gabby.

But -being totally honest- I'd prefer it if none of those scenarios happened at all.

Get rid of Bruce, any other move is just more money being shat up the wall. The blokes is a fucking clown.

Midfield is still a real problem.  Whelan and Jedinak should only be playing a holding role in a midfield three as neither have the mobility to play in any other formation.  Whelan is beginning to look like the equivalent of the car which some niaive person buys from Autotrader thinking they've got a deal, only for it to completely conk out on them after a few months. 

It seems like every week we come up against sides with small, mobile midfielders who outplay whoever we have kn there.

We were fucked today as soon as that team was announced and the idiot had Whelan and Jedinak in the side. Like what the fuck convinced him that it was a good idea to play together two of the slowest, oldest and most error prone players in the division?

Play Onomah from the start. Or Hourihane. Include O'Hare in the squad at the very least. Just don't put two slow old men together. It's ok if one or the other plays and essentially back each other up. But it's asking for it if they play together.

If you want to start those 2, then Snodgrass should have made way. Adomah, Hourihane and Grealish behind Hogan might have worked, but Snodgrass in such dire form offered nothing all night, but Bruce is obsessed by the bloke.

Playing those two might mean we hit teams on the break and defend in our six yard box. We have zero pace, making it completely invalid as a tactic. Did he go looking for a point?

Exactly and 2 games in 3 days for them as well when they are mid 30s and seemingly both have aged 10 years in 6 months.

Onomah and Hourihane. Players with the mobility to press and play further up the pitch as they can actually turn and run the other way.

Whelan has to be dropped for Boro. He's cost us two away games in a week.

My point being Ozz that he should simply not start Whelan and Jedinak together. One or the other. And yes I’m all for dropping Snodgrass. He’s been dreadful for a few games now.
