ISMAEL OUT.
The board need to act now. If things stay as they are, we're not going to make the playoffs.
The football has been appalling to watch from day 1. As a fan, you can put up with that to an extent when it delivers results, like when we put 4 past Sheffield based on long throws and crowded set pieces alone. But it's become apparent it's no longer going to deliver results for some time.
We never look like we're going to score a goal.
The manager has no plan B. The persistence with this drab formation even if it means playing 2 defensively weak fullbacks at centre half is beggars belief. The fact we have played over half of a season with 3 up top and haven't worked out we need one dropping off into the hole is mind boggling. Why have 3 wingers up front and never play to feet?
If we're going to finish mid table, which clearly we are, I'd rather see us try to play proper football and build for the future.
IMO this is worse on the eye than than under Pulis. At least with Pulis we had a game plan of sitting back and scoring from a set play against superior sides. I can't see what the game plan is with this manager. We rely on hoofball and long throws even when all of our players that can head a ball are out injured.
Middlesbrough have got themselves a proper manager and they will be above us in a couple of games. We need to act before it's too late.
