Yep. Schizophrenic Boro are due a roaring win after the last game being a dreary loss. I honestly think we'll get a result here. Warnock hates Shef Wed and we hate Monk! 2-1 Boro. Saville and Fletcher Just saying... I'm the Oracle of OneBoro. Apart from goalscorers... Can't do them. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Man did he kill your dog or something? The man has done all we asked from him, has provided a relatively consistent threat down the left and has provided a number of great crosses. It's his best spell as a Boro player and I, personally, believe him to be in the top 3 or 4 performers across all of Warnocks 8 games. He's dodgy defensively, he always will be, but I think he's done a decent job at a role he's not suited for & should be applauded for doing so. Saville is another one that I believe has been one of our best performers since the restart, or are you going to disagree there again? Sav, Tav, Howson, Johnson & Dijksteel (in the last 3 games) have been the players I've been most impressed with over Warnocks 8 games. 4 Link to post Share on other sites

Aphex_Boro 1,425 Posted July 22, 2020 Share Posted July 22, 2020 Johnson is as bad a LW as he is a LB, just isn't anywhere near good enough for this level 2 Link to post Share on other sites

Downsouth 6,175 Posted July 22, 2020 Share Posted July 22, 2020 Panic, what panic! Good we know where we are and what has to be done. For the last 8 games my lad paid for the home games and I paid for the away games did not think at the time I would end up 100% and he with zero, thank goodness for playing away! Can I thank each and every member who produced the mach day threads this season even if it means SmogDane opening the matchday threads next time round. Also thank you all for contributing to the threads, we have achieved the 3rd highest total post wise for a season with a very healthy average of 482 posts for every single game. And finally well done to Barnsley I hope you have got a great lawyer for what might come. What a roller coaster and unforgetable season this has been 3 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Skinemrippers 894 Posted July 22, 2020 Share Posted July 22, 2020 Johnson has done well as a wing back and has done his best to play out of position when Warnock obviously didn’t fancy Coulson. He’s out of contract but has played every match - putting the team ahead of himself unlike Ayala, Gestede, Shotton and Clayton. I don’t think we’ll offer him a contract (I wouldn’t be aghast if we did though) but think he deserves some respect for the way he’s fought for the team in these last 8 matches. Would have him over any of the players who wouldn’t commit or Nmecha and Morrison. 2 Link to post Share on other sites

I actually understand where you are coming from, he's done an okay job in a position which is unnatural to him and at least he has shown some loyalty by playing out of contract till the end of season (same as friend) and they deserve massive credit for that. I am sure we will get some stats thrown at us to show us that he's been terrible, but I see where you are coming from. Not sure I would be keeping him at the club as I think it's time for a complete fresh start that we require this summer. Tavernier, Saville, McNair and I'd say Britt (god 1st for everything) have really performed in these last 8 games under Warnock. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

He has provided a few good crosses, a number of smacked hopeful balls into the area and that's about it. If that was his best spell as a Boro player then that says a great deal about just how bloody bad he's been in the time he's been here. 1 assist for the great attacking player and you just named 5 players there who you yourself believed have been better so what does that say! You can add Fletcher and Assombalonga to that list as well as they've both done their jobs better than Johnson has. Link to post Share on other sites

BillinghamBoro 229 Posted July 22, 2020 Share Posted July 22, 2020 Been having a few cans to celebrate that, Absolutely fantastic to see us survive. Warnock I'd argue has saved us from the brown and smelly there. Genuine shame to see Wigan get relegated on a points dedication. Absolute crying shame that. Wonder what Mrs Warnock must be thinking about him potentially getting in to yet another job after his retirement some 10 years ago, and I also wonder if Blackford will ever get that kitchen done!

Let's be honest we have seen awful displays from each and every player up to end of season not many of come through this season with flying colours however I think we can all agree that improvement has been noticed and that maybe we have the start of a better team moving ahead, one that quickly starts winning at home. The form at home since boxing day has been nothing short of disastarous and many players were responsible for that Link to post Share on other sites
