Downsouth 6,326 Posted March 12, 2022 Share Posted March 12, 2022 Well finally I am home after a nightmare homeward journey. We were kept back from getting into the station for over an hour which then resulted in crowded trains and also the underground, which also resulted in me missing at train home by 3 minutes so an extra half hour on top of the journey. However not all was doom and gloom because my lad managed to gain interest over the fact I had a spare ticket so I had the very pleasant company of a very nice young lady from the Barrow Boy to the game, at the game and afterwards. So here is a promised shout out @Katie thanks for the company and spending all your time with Ethers and his little girl and I for the afternoon. The game itself, if this was the reaction to the SU game then it was not very good was it? drab and awful match all throughout and no one from midfield to our supposed scorers coming out with any glory. Teams know how we play and today we did not play well at all and neither did Millwall. Jones and Crooks well they have lost their mojo that is for certain, and I carefully watched Connolly who just does not seem to be aware of his team mates and how often his team mates made no effort to pass to him. We have no plan b for when going down the wings is not working and how many touches do we need in the opposition's box? No-one wants a shot at goal do they? It was bland timid football for 90 minutes by both teams. Well we now have 0-0 and 1-1 and 2-2 from our trip to the Capital. What annoyed me most was how Coventry destroyed Sheffield United. Blah! Wakawakawoo I am fed up how about you? 3 Link to post Share on other sites

Old Codger 3,063 Posted March 12, 2022 Share Posted March 12, 2022 in that case, the traditional solution is to blame the ref for everything. 🙂 but a clean sheet is still a clean sheet, so at the moment, got to view that as a positive for an away game 1 Link to post Share on other sites
GrimsbyBoro 1,968 Posted March 12, 2022 Share Posted March 12, 2022 Biggest thing is still we are still within a game of the playoffs. A QPR draw tomorrow keeps things really tight. It’s not the week we would have wanted but all in all as far as the table goes it’s not been the worse. 2 Link to post Share on other sites
DurhamRed 2,047 Posted March 12, 2022 Share Posted March 12, 2022 To be honest we have take 4 points from a really really tough week this week. Need to take advantage of Birmingham and Peterbrough games now before the next thought ones of Fulham Bournemouth and huddesfield Link to post Share on other sites
TeaCider24 12,639 Posted March 12, 2022 Share Posted March 12, 2022 It's weird that we're actually closer to to the play-offs than we were yesterday and I feel less confident. We were 2 points off the top 6, it's now down to 1. That performance on Tuesday has really dented my confidence. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Foxtrot Oscar Colin 607 Posted March 13, 2022 Share Posted March 13, 2022 (edited) 10 hours ago, Neverbefore said: I watch a lot of premier league football and a lot of Irish international football. Probably more than you on both counts tbh. My opinion is based on the fact that he's not looked out of his depth on either stage, despite his very young age. That Is evidenced through the number of apps hes got for both as well as my own eye test. And again, I've never said he's a fantastic player. I've said I'm happy with the signing and that I think he brings more to the team overalll than watmore. I stand by that entirely. What on earth does he bring to the team that watmore doesnt other than blank scoresheets. Watmore is better in every department. Goals, assists, pressing, carrying the ball, movement and I could go on. Connolly is an awful signing he literally has nothing about him and the sooner he is gets axed from the first team the better. Id really like to see Watmores goal involvements per minutes played stats for this season because he's the only forward we have that contributes regularly from open play Link to post Share on other sites
KiwiBoro 24 Posted March 13, 2022 Share Posted March 13, 2022 It has been a while since I’ve commented here. I do watch diligently here however. Our defensive press is great, and I love our possession oriented game. I thought Millwall defended well against our style of play ( which is an exciting style of play). They could have scored, we could have scored. But neither did. I thought they kept up with the pace of Jones well, and we survived a few scares. Overall scrappy game, but I love our style of play. It has generally been successful and is fun to watch. Up the Boro! 5 Link to post Share on other sites

Nothing to seperate the teams that both had very few chances. The Den was as full as I have ever seen, promotion hopes all over the place so it seems Link to post Share on other sites

Downsouth 6,326 Posted March 13, 2022 Share Posted March 13, 2022 A little smile can be afforded the point at Millwall confirms that Boro CAN NOT be relegated this season.............so all to play for and congratulations to the team and UTB Wakawakawoo Well done Boro that's a big PHEW!😁 1 Link to post Share on other sites
ladyspite 385 Posted March 13, 2022 Share Posted March 13, 2022 I wonder if its in the loan contract that some loan players have to start? Or why is not Watmore starting more games? Link to post Share on other sites
