Downsouth 6,175 Posted September 27, 2021 Share Posted September 27, 2021 Gosh can anyone remember a match day thread so full of toxic from the word go? As mentioned earlier if we lose or do not play a far better game this place is not going to be a way of calming down. Are we alone as a forum with our feelings Link to post Share on other sites
Skinemrippers 894 Posted September 27, 2021 Share Posted September 27, 2021 Blaming the foreign players when Payero has started one match this season and JLS two is a joke. It feels like his relationship with the club is breaking down. Link to post Share on other sites
boro-unger 3,817 Posted September 27, 2021 Share Posted September 27, 2021 I reckon after listening to the press conference it'll be something like this: ----------------Lumley------------- --Peltier--Fry--Hall--Bola--- --------Howson---Mcnair------- -----Tav-----Crooks---Jones-- -----------------Uche---------------- I reckon we'll go one nil up in the first half and then stop playing again. Get beat 2 or 3-1. Predictable as you like. Usually love a night game, although it's meant to be raining, so could be extra miserable if we get beat. Link to post Share on other sites
sanddancer 1,964 Posted September 27, 2021 Share Posted September 27, 2021 (edited) I am positive you won’t get the best out of someone with criticism. Now a good mentor works wonders. I am just getting a little more then disappointed listening to so many excuses and no solutions. I am going for a BORO win, I know ridiculous, mad really but I think someone is going to come forward and take the lead. I sense a win..

Are we alone as a forum with our feelings What did you make of the atmosphere on Saturday, DS? I've never heard our lot so quiet... there seemed to be a fair bit of apathy in the stands. I haven't been to a home game yet so not sure if it's been the same at the Riverside. Outsung by Reading fans... a dark day! 1 Link to post Share on other sites

"Do you think your man marking system is working? Will you consider changing it?" "Why does the team look so open, especially in central areas? How do you plan to address it?" "Is the team underperforming, considering the Summer investment from Gibson?" "Where do you believe we should be in the league table? What would be considered a failure this season?" "Why are we so ineffective from set pieces? Are they being worked at on the training ground?" "Why don't Middlesbrough have the trademark 'hard to beat' tag of a Warnock side? Have you changed approach, or are the players not able to follow your instructions?" I don't actually think it's related to why he doesn't anymore, or at least I hope not, but Joe Nicholson from the Hartlepool Mail used to ask good questions in the press conferences, he's now been moved on to focusing on Sunderland. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Strange, given that he's a Boro fan. Link to post Share on other sites

Outsung by Reading fans... a dark day! To be honest an air of realisation once they scored, half hearted singing which did not last long. Why we did not threaten again after nearly scoring early on is beyond me. Simply no pride or belief in the team and Management 2 Link to post Share on other sites

I understand that the ref apologised after the game to NW admitting he made a mistake and that he should not have been sent off. Mind you he had Reading players baying for blood straight away before the card was shown may have been influenced by them to a degree Link to post Share on other sites

And the linesman was on the other side of the challenge on the other side of the pitch in the midst of a relatively crowded penalty box. There's no way they saw anything of the actual collision and to be fair, I think the ref should know that too. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
