VectorBoro 75 Posted September 22, 2013 Share Posted September 22, 2013 I did read through the posts thanks and I still don't know what it has to do with today's game. It wasn't a complaint, just wondering how a matchday thread can get to talking about where places are near London and what Luton airport is called! Ballyclover said we're 12 points off QPR who are our next opponents, Arfy Aardvark said they're a joke of a club and will be screwed by FFP, paphos said about London clubs getting away with more, Nottingham forest were mentioned briefly along with Watford, and some minor confusion down to geography is how we're talking about where Luton airport is... Keep up :P Praise The Lord , thank you. Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Changing Times Posted September 22, 2013 Share Posted September 22, 2013 Praise The Lord , thank you. No real need for the sarky comments. It wasn't a complaint it was amusement at how threads can veer into completely different areas, that's all. Link to post Share on other sites

BoroAbroad 321 Posted September 22, 2013 Share Posted September 22, 2013 Well........... The up side is.... We scored 3 goals!!!!!! 3 bloody goals!! When was the last time we did that? Just need to sort the defense and we could actually start to do something. Link to post Share on other sites
VectorBoro 75 Posted September 22, 2013 Share Posted September 22, 2013 Scoring more than 2 goals does not come naturally to us, do you remember when Southgate was in charge and we didn't score more than 2 until the last game of the season when we beat City 8-1 ? Link to post Share on other sites
Uwe 3,545 Posted September 22, 2013 Share Posted September 22, 2013 When we surrender a 2 goal lead against Forrest there was uproar about it not being anywhere near good enough. We battle back from a two goal deficit (and only miss out on a victory by a freak own goal) answering questions about mental strength, leadership passion that have been raised on this forum and it's still not good enough. It's amazing how emotion shapes discussion. Don't get me wrong I expected nothing but victory yesterday and maybe RW red card may be a blessing in trying something different with our defence. But we really do need to stop commiting 'Football suicide' Link to post Share on other sites
Prowler 197 Posted September 22, 2013 Share Posted September 22, 2013 Coming back from 2-0 down isn't good enough because we shouldn't have been in that situation to begin with. We were at home. To Bournemouth. Those 2 penalties were deserved but avoidable if our defence had any sort of discipline. Link to post Share on other sites

Agree we should never have been in that position Prowler (that was the football suicide I was on about) but nether less we found ourselves in it and still got back in the game. I'm not sure if it's the tactical set up or individual errors that are costing us at the moment. Link to post Share on other sites
22351 5 Posted September 22, 2013 Share Posted September 22, 2013 Williams not playing for a few games now, I'm putting £10 on us beating QPR 2-1. Listening to Mogga's interview, he said players weren't working together and at least with Williams being sent off meant he could explore other options.. which makes me ask was there any agreements with Williams and Woody when resigning/signing about them playing when fit? Get the central defenders sorted and boro have the basis of a very good, attractive team.. Link to post Share on other sites
Prowler 197 Posted September 22, 2013 Share Posted September 22, 2013 attractive team.. Only if our team was 11 George Friend' :heart: Link to post Share on other sites
boroinbishop 65 Posted September 22, 2013 Share Posted September 22, 2013 I don't buy this whole " I can explore other options now" Why couldn't he do this before? If he thought that things needed changing he doesn't have to wait for him to become unavailable to change it, makes it sounds like he isn't choosing the team Link to post Share on other sites

If he thought that things needed changing he doesn't have to wait for him to become unavailable to change it, makes it sounds like he isn't choosing the team He more or less spent most of last season exploring options, occasionally it looked a good option, only for him to explore another option the next game, or bring back an underperforming player regardless! All good teams have a solid core running through the middle, starting at the defence, we seem sorely lacking any sort of core Link to post Share on other sites
Prowler 197 Posted September 22, 2013 Share Posted September 22, 2013 We also seem to be lacking any sort of defence :P Link to post Share on other sites
