The tactical mistakes of last night were staggering 17:59 - Jan 18 with 1124 viewsbournemouthblue

surely a manager of MM's experience could see things weren't working?

Skuglas picked to stifle a Conference side

No runners around Leon Best making his job virtually impossible

Sticking with a 352 against a side who are strong down the flanks

No changes until late in the game, even when it was clear the team talk had done nothing

Leaving Kevin Bru on the bench when we needed some creativity and mobility in the middle of the park

There are smaller things which are equally worrying. Why do we only appear to have one throw in routine for Knudsen's throw ins?

I've heard people suggesting last night wasn't MM's fault. It was every bit MM's fault, he picked an unbalanced side and couldn't be bothered to change it. We got everything we deserved with our negative anti-football approach.

Alcohol is the answer but I can't remember the question!

MM is so stubborn that even a voice in his head that keeps saying we need to change it he doesn't listen too, I can't believe he even gave it to half time, that would have been bad enough..

Question, TC, what does he do exactly alongside him? If one can't see it then surely the other can? Or he can but he can't ever mention it to McCarthy, he's no doubt tried that and got shot down!? I dunno....I give up with the pair of them now.

I thought that it was actually tactically innovative. What modern football team, even a Conference team, would expect to come up against hit and hope as a tactic? The element of surprise could have swung it. Though it didn't.

It's almost like deliberate sabotage, he didn't even make a sub in the home game despite desperately needing one.

particularly without runners to chase it, no one could expect such an unorthodox approach

If he has a plan from the off and goes with a side for that tactic then fine, he's the boss, but when it clearly isn't working then there would be no disgrace in changing it early on, even the top Managers have done that, even after 15 minutes Pep has done it, could see it wasn't working etc.....changed it..

Nowhere near sharp enough in that respect, he doesn't act quickly enough...

No agreed, rarely ever does he make a change before 70 minutes

For me that is often too late

Within 10 minutes we were talking about how the set up wasn't going to work. Is he trying to engineer an exit?

It's 106 miles to Portman Road, we've got a full tank of gas, half a round of Port Salut, it's dark... and we're wearing blue tinted sunglasses.

Given his record in all cup formats, you do wonder

Wolves fans were saying the exact same about him

For such an experienced manager, Mick had a shocker last night. Almost like he's lost it & virtually given up.
However, if we get a result at Huddersfield, the mood will change somewhat.

Yep, last night was dire, it was 'an utter disgrace', but it is the league that will determine how tenable his position is.

I have thought too, He won't walk away from a pay off so maybe he is.
