pikerman 1,089 Posted November 7, 2020 Share Posted November 7, 2020 Here is my conspiracy theory re Roberts. NW doesn't really fancy him as he doesn't fit into his formations, but, our agreement with Man City dictates that if fit he must be in the matchday squad. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Dan_Boro_Till_I_Die 1,179 Posted November 7, 2020 Share Posted November 7, 2020 We just lack the composure with the final pass, shot, cross and finish. That i what's lacking. Disappointed with Warnocks subs but we've improved massively since last year and unbeaten in 10 now. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Boro having so much possession, actually playing some nice football...but still can't create any good scoring chances. So frustrating! Would help if Warnock wasn’t afraid to put on a creative player. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
wilsoncgp 9,230 Posted November 7, 2020 Share Posted November 7, 2020 Certainly not the worst point you'll pick up all season, we made them look bloody ordinary but goodness me, some actual quality in the final third and we could have taken all 3. It was good to see us still go for it at the end and not give them a chance to even get into our half very often in the last 10 minutes or so. I just think ffs, if Roberts comes on even for those last 5-10 minutes, he could make a difference. 2 Link to post Share on other sites
Andyboro 73 Posted November 7, 2020 Share Posted November 7, 2020 i now understand why wing hasn't been anywhere near the first team playing like that, he's so wasteful and does nothing to break up play in the midfield. Link to post Share on other sites
BoroSmoggie 2,678 Posted November 7, 2020 Share Posted November 7, 2020 Hopefully we can keep this form going until January and stay around the play offs. Then Gibson must be tempted to invest in the squad and wide areas? 1 Link to post Share on other sites
SouthernSmoggie 4,223 Posted November 7, 2020 Share Posted November 7, 2020 Can't really knock the performance or a point away at Brentford. Only one I'm not sold on is Coulson... think Roberts or even Marv offer more. If we can become more threatening from counter-attacks and set pieces then we're in for a good season imo.

NW doesn't really fancy him as he doesn't fit into his formations, but, our agreement with Man City dictates that if fit he must be in the matchday squad. Here’s my conspiracy. Warnock sets his team up to defend and hope that we fluke something down the other end. Roberts doesn’t fit into that so doesn’t play. Pulis time and time again got absolutely mullered for exactly what Warnock is doing now. Link to post Share on other sites
AnglianRed 6,229 Posted November 7, 2020 Share Posted November 7, 2020 Well, I predicted another draw and can't say I'm too disappointed. Think it was a fair result, overall. Just a bit frustrating that we can't actually turn our spells of possession and decent creative play into good goalscoring chances..and that we continue to fluff the very few clear chances we do create.

Dynamo Kev 1,552 Posted November 7, 2020 Share Posted November 7, 2020 clueless in their oppo box aint we. could have really put them to the sword in the last 15 there. they were hanging on, totally out of puff and we were swarming all over them stopping them from getting out of their half. ivan toni was totally isolated and looked like a cf playing for us lol. just one shot on target from brentford and keeper put his cap on it. add goals we walk this league. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
DurhamRed 2,043 Posted November 7, 2020 Share Posted November 7, 2020 (edited) To be honest that's another 2 points dropped off we should of beaten these if we put Roberts on went for it. But 10 unbeaten is some achievement Link to post Share on other sites
Smokedsalmon 1,247 Posted November 7, 2020 Share Posted November 7, 2020 God we are BORING. I will never celebrate a 0-0 draw with that little attacking intent. We used to batter these every time under Karanka, now we're somehow blessed to scrape a point away at the mighty Brentford. So bored of watching us set up for a draw. Any manager can do that. Stop fannying about and get Roberts and Tav up the pitch in support of 2 strikers. Zzzzzzzz. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites
