  1. You forgot to mention one of our players will also get kicked in the face and have to go off, while the ref will fail to award a red card. 😜
  2. Or if your mates get really creative, possibly on a ferry to Rotterdam... 😁 Anyway, congrats and hope your big day goes well and that you don't have to explain yourself to the police at any point.
  3. Great post, as usual, Marvin. Just puzzled about the backwards mobile names...whats the deal with those? Can (will) we win again? Can we win again? Certainly. Will we win again? After our recent performances I'd be disappointed if we didn't. Just checked the table and was somewhat shocked to find Blackburn have the worst defensive record in the league (after the long-since doomed Rotherham). If we can't score against that lot, there's something wrong! Rovers seem to have a knack of salvaging draws lately and a point wouldn't be the worst result, but this feels like a
  4. Couldn't agree more. At this stage of the season, even though the play-offs are once more within reach (albeit still a long shot), I think its more important to build team cohesion and understanding of roles. Playing 2 games a week will take it out of the players, so we can't expect brilliant football game after game. Think this was a perfect example of grinding out a result, even though we were below par. Keeps our momentum going and builds confidence & morale in the team. Play to our strengths, even if it isn't always pretty. Does seem as though Carrick has had some sort o
  5. ˈkwes.tΚƒΙ™n Has Carrick actually turned a corner, managerially? Probably still a bit early to be sure. I'd rather judge him on how things go to the end of the season. But the last 2 games have definitely re-ignited my optimism. How much has luck (good or bad) effected this season? Undoubtedly the injuries have contributed to our struggles this season, but Carrick's selections and tactics (particularly at the start of the season) have also played their part. How many will we win by? I don't want to say, as my predictions always seem to jinx us. But lets just say I'm
  6. Well done Boro! Played a canny game, absorbing a lot of early pressure and just getting forward when we could. Wasn't the most exciting watch but we contained QPR pretty well, restricting them to just a few good scoring chances. Beauty of a goal just after the hour with a pinpoint cross from Clarke to set up ELL for the opener. Then had to absorb a lot more pressure as the Rs went in search of an equaliser. Brilliant counter attack involving Howson and Ayling to set up Forss and put the game to bed. Not a classic end to end game, but a fantastic, solid away performance, sprinkle
  7. Sounds like you've got a spy camera in the dressing room! 😁
  8. Yup and both on the score sheet. Who would've thunk it?
  9. We need to get Howson on a new 5-year contract on this form. He is the puppet master when he plays like this.
  10. With the way we defend those balls could have gone anywhere. Lets face it we have conceded some pretty soft/ridiculous goals this season.
  11. Boro are so infuriating. Backs to the wall for a good 10-15 minutes, looking like they are going to concede, then in a flash wrap the game up (probably). πŸ˜†
  12. YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!! FORSS YOU BEAUTY! WHAT A HEADER! Perfect ball in from Ayling following a nice bit of play from Howson.
  13. Argh! I really don't like the way we're sitting with everyone behind the ball. We're practically inviting QPR to score.
  14. We can't afford to sit back. Boro need to keep at them and try for a second.
  15. GOOOOOOAAAALLLLL!! LATTE LATH WITH A GREAT FINISH! Lovely ball in from Clarke.
  16. Lol! Nearly an unintended goal for QPR there. Looping cross find the roof of the net. Dieng worried for a moment.
  17. Dammit - QPR with their best opportunity of the game so far! Big let-off for Boro there.
  18. But the fact is you won't win many games if you offer nothing going forward. With just a solitary shot on target so far, we haven't caused QPR too many problems. The trick to successful football management is to find a balance between attack & defence. πŸ˜‰
  19. Oh Forss! Tame effort and wide when well placed in front of goal.
  20. Boro playing some nice stuff here...just can't find a red shirt with the final balls.
  21. Remember everyone...we're a second half team! πŸ˜‰
  22. Well its been an interesting half, if not exactly a thrill a minute. Happy we haven't conceded, but disappointed with the lack of attacking threat. Think its just the 1 shot on target we've had. Some changes need to be made second half to bolster the midfield and link-up play when we go forward. We're never going to get anywhere with 2-man attacks and just one guy in the box.
  23. We've been more solid defensively but no control in midfield and offering almost nothing going forward. Attacks consist of one guy running with the ball with one other player for support and a Hail Mary pass / cross to a lone red shirt. Need to be more co-ordinated going forward. ELL has at least done a fair bit of running and trying. Don't think I've seen Forss once.
