Karanka v MON & Keane

[Salvatore Matrecano]

I think many in the crowd felt the same. It was so similar to McLeish coming in it is unreal. I’d love MON to do the business but dont think he will unfortunately. I also missed the Leeds match so haven’t seen us score since Ipswich.

So many rose tinted glasses with regards to the football played under karanka. It was defensive we time wasted from the start (Norwich), we created few chances and we were vulnerable on every set piece and whenever any team pressed us. 

Mcleish took a side playing slick passing football and turned it into hoofball. Completely different.

Karanka was a long way from perfect but I dont get this defensive negative football thing, not just you Wassy, plenty have said it. Karanka set us up to be competitive with top teams with the squad we have which with all our “big spending” isnt a patch on some. It wasnt champagne stuff but as good to watch as I have seen in a few years. We are still vulnerable at the back due to the continuing lack of major investment in defence. The time wasting did annoy the hell out of me though.

Yes we move on and we will play well again eventually whatever the manager. Its just the back to square one and sense the club have chosen to throw away the season again that frustrates the most.
