White Band 831 Posted January 16, 2021 Share Posted January 16, 2021 Are we allowed to boo Karanka for that? Seems the Riverside is his fortress. Link to post Share on other sites
boro-unger 3,815 Posted January 16, 2021 Share Posted January 16, 2021 Very disappointing game. No real chances for us in the second half. Link to post Share on other sites
DevKWat 2,365 Posted January 16, 2021 Share Posted January 16, 2021 I think top 6 is beyond us. Especially since it looks like we’re having a terrible transfer window yet again as usual. There’s some players in that squad who are nowhere near low end championship level Link to post Share on other sites

Nobody running behind him or past him. Car crash from start to finish. Hope Warnock doesn’t try to make excuses Except he's not just been defending for 90 minutes. He's half the reason we couldn't get a wide player in their half for the first 45 at least and he's kept pushing down our right hand side all game. He's not just been knocking away long balls in defence too, he's covered his side well when we have put decent crosses into the box, he's been solid at both ends of the pitch. Thoroughly earned MOTM.

Uwe 3,543 Posted January 16, 2021 Share Posted January 16, 2021 Absolutely Karanka-ed in that game. 😡 Link to post Share on other sites
JMC91 280 Posted January 16, 2021 Share Posted January 16, 2021 No surprise that we didn't cause them any real problems today when we approached the game with sunday league tactics. If you're going to play long ball then you have to at least challenge for the first and second balls and we didn't do either today. An insipid performance. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Smoggie Spraggon 29 Posted January 16, 2021 Share Posted January 16, 2021 How are Spence and Coulson playing at this level, coming through the academy shouldn’t give you a free pass to the first team Link to post Share on other sites
J.T. 640 Posted January 16, 2021 Share Posted January 16, 2021 Well there’s only one word to describe that performance... HOOOOOOOFFFFFFFFFFF! Because that’s all we did. Honestly, we have seen some pathetic tactics from Boro managers over the last 5 or 6 years but for me this one tops the lot. Long hopeless ball after long hopeless ball after long hopeless ball. I can’t take another year of this rubbish. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Donnyboro 694 Posted January 16, 2021 Share Posted January 16, 2021 Very frustrating performance. Got it wrong roberts or watmore should’ve been on friend running at him. Can’t slate the players too much because Covid can have a tiring effect on people I know this first hand Link to post Share on other sites
Borodane 6,246 Posted January 16, 2021 Share Posted January 16, 2021 *** me the players and warnock deserve a backlash. This was a pathetic display and there is nothing positive to take from this game. Worst display of the season? 1 Link to post Share on other sites
DevKWat 2,365 Posted January 16, 2021 Share Posted January 16, 2021 There’s no excuse for the fact we continued to hoof the ball to players who were clearly incapable of winning a single header. How is a manager as experienced as Warnock not spotting that and telling them 2 Link to post Share on other sites
BillyWoofs_shinpad 1,884 Posted January 16, 2021 Share Posted January 16, 2021 That was a shame, but fair play to Karanka, If rather his team took points off us than anyone else. Link to post Share on other sites

SmogDane 4,052 Posted January 16, 2021 Share Posted January 16, 2021 I'm baffled that we kept playing hopeless long balls ... Is it what NW wants, even when it doesn't work? Or is it the players that keep doing it, cause they ha ENT got imagination or vision to do any better? Everyone watching this could see, that it would be a Winable game, if we kept calm and kept the ball on the floor... Link to post Share on other sites
BoroSmoggie 2,678 Posted January 16, 2021 Share Posted January 16, 2021 Why are we genuinely paying a part of Roberts wages from city? Like why is he here? Send him back. Link to post Share on other sites
