Denzel Zanzibar 6,931 Posted May 2, 2015 Share Posted May 2, 2015 Where has Prowler gone, there's a lot of doom merchants in this thread after all? Would have thought he'd want to have a go at all the people who paid to see that garbage display. Link to post Share on other sites
p_mards 1,363 Posted May 2, 2015 Share Posted May 2, 2015 Awful performance. The balance of the side was wrong, the energy was embarrassing, and most of all, the passing and movement of the players was pitiful. When we've been pushing for a goal at home this season you could see that the players desperately wanted to score, but today they didn't seem to have the normal drive and commitment. Ayala and Gibson done well, and that's about it. Amorebieta and Tiendalli both struggled in the full back roles. The most important thing is that we got a favourable play off draw, and considering it's the team the majority on here wanted we can't be too disappointed. Karanka seemed vey happy that Derby missed out on the play offs. Link to post Share on other sites
Will 2,958 Posted May 2, 2015 Share Posted May 2, 2015 I think we played for 4th from about 60 minutes onwards, the players all seemed happy to just knock it about and not really go forwards. I've also read someone on Twitter claiming that Karanka signalled to Leadbitter to just hold onto what we had. Link to post Share on other sites

p_mards 1,363 Posted May 2, 2015 Share Posted May 2, 2015 Karanka's substitutions didn't exactly seem like we were throwing the kitchen sink at them. When Reach was warming up I was wondering if he would come on at LB, similar to how we've occasionally put Adomah to RB when we're pushing for a goal. Plus when we had a corner late into stoppage time we chose no to put Dimi up. I won't criticise Karanka if he would have preferred Brentford over Ipswich, but there seemed to be a strange feel about the game. Link to post Share on other sites

When he brought Reach on over Muzzy it rang alarm bells to me and at that point I believed that we were settling for the draw. Portman road has never been a happy hunting ground for us so at the moment I'll trust Karanka's judgement on that one of it was deliberate. Link to post Share on other sites
p_mards 1,363 Posted May 2, 2015 Share Posted May 2, 2015 Deep into stoppage time Leadbitter played a long pass back to Dimi instead of looking forward which was strange too. Link to post Share on other sites
melchett 5 Posted May 2, 2015 Share Posted May 2, 2015 I don't think it was planned at all to be honest. It only took a goal from ipswich at the time and we would have been playing them anyway. The play off fixtures were never in our hands really it was always going to be decided elsewhere. Bad performance all round today but i can sort of understand the players not flying about the pitch risking getting injured. Link to post Share on other sites

boro-unger 3,811 Posted May 2, 2015 Author Share Posted May 2, 2015 The Boro corner at 90+ mins where 30000 people were shouting for dimi to get forward was probably the most entertaining part of the match :D Link to post Share on other sites
Red Rocket 244 Posted May 2, 2015 Share Posted May 2, 2015 Practically everyone was out of position. I'm glad we weren't trying because it was bloody awful. Link to post Share on other sites
"KM" 1,653 Posted May 2, 2015 Share Posted May 2, 2015 Must say everyone yelling at Dimi to go up for the corner was the highlight of the afternoon for me :D Link to post Share on other sites
