Quote from: Gingerpig on February 24, 2024, 05:53:02 PMplay one way ,get sussed out , you need another plan ffs. Sides now press us 20 yds from our goal KNOWING we will bugger up , this is as low as i have felt this season , because i know nothing will change , we will still just keep doing what we do regardless at home with this type of performance all too regularly happening this season , we seriously are back to square one now & its not looking pretty come the summer with yet another major rebuild required ......& prob VERY limited funds

Get on the yag & f it all

This four-two-three-wrong set-up got sussed out weeks ago. Just a pity the penny hasn't dropped for our thick as a plank manager.

Start of season

Boro 3/1 3rd favs to be promoted

Today 50/1

Selling the best players as usual replacing with shite as usual

Next pre season as usual built up on false promises and pure bovine tripe

And for the privilege he want's people to pay premier league prices

In With the Lurpak · February 24, 2024, 09:56:05 PM

PS The team who humiliated Boro today are 500/1 or summing to be promoted

Blott · February 24, 2024, 10:22:15 PM

PPS Leicester City are 1/33 to get promoted. What's your point again?

Enjoy your Bovril watching dodgy Netflix.

Blotty , we were shite today totally sussed with a 1 style game plan that has been seriously sussed by even the WORST sides in the league , beyond getting angry , just have a scoop instead

Can he solve the problem is the question ?, because we do look so much better with 5 at back

The club needs a clearout from top to bottom.

From the owner to the "fans group".
Too many yes men and mediocre players brought in to replace half decent players flogged off.

Woodgate. Why is he still around? Is he the new Agnew?

And as for the "fans group". This last few days have proved how toothless they are. There is NO WAY Nichols will rock the boat if he gets the job. I have never known the board be so distanced from the fans.

Gerrard, Lampard now Carrick is making that list.

No excuses for today. Out played and out thought.
If that was an away game the players would pay the fans coach travel!

The biggest proof is Erimus.

When he starts questioning The Boro you know there must be problems.

Quote from: Blott on February 24, 2024, 05:30:41 PMIf you think I can defend that you are very wrong. It was abysmal. No shots on target, slow, I don't do tactics but what were they?

Quote from: Blott on February 24, 2024, 09:17:07 PMYou get too high when we win and pissed off when we lose, try a more balanced approach. Last week the world was a great place, arms punching this week the world has collapsed and sack everyone. This season we made the semi final of a major cup, that alone makes it at least a 6 out of 10 season.

I agree. Plymouth had an out. A big Centre Forward, we are far too slow. I don't really do tactics I just want us to win.

But no one was moaning after Leicester City 1 Middlesbrough 2.

They were not , but that was because got lucky ,they missed 2 gilt edged chances 1st half , we picked them off & got battered 2nd half but hung on .....that was away however!
At home we try & play out , they let us for 20 yds ish, then 2 or 3 press rigth up , we fuck up .....& their game plan is based on it ...because we regularly do it , our home record is not a fluke , it happens because we are not capable of playing this way , this set are not good enough to do it & i fear the riverside is becoming a bear pit if we continue with a failed system at home

again I agree with you, playing from the back is OK, I don't understand why we do it 100pc of the time. But as I keep saying I am not a tactics bloke, if an ex England international and god knows how many trophies thinks it a good idea who am I to question. I don't tell the Dentist how to give me a filling. Saying that I can't comprehend the goalkeeping situation.

Look, we made it to the semi final of a major cup, we win big games but our home record is dreadful.

Football to me is getting dropped off in the Town, a few beers the game and picked up for a curry at 5. If I wanted to watch Premiership football I would get a ticket at Newcastle.

Football on TV is no different to watching Strictly, you only see 10pc of what is going on. If you look at the credits at the end you will notice an editor. They choose what you see.

24 hours on and I'm still seething about yesterdays debacle. Not since a Woodgate orchestrated, post covid capitulation against Swansea three & a half years ago have I been so infuriated about any MFC performance - and we all know what rightly happened to him after that.

The fact Carrick is STILL experimenting with forward positions this far into the season is staggering. In fact the cynic in me can't help wondering if he's deliberately playing bizarre formations - certainly at home - to try and get himself a nice pay off!

Either way, CARRICK OUT.
