Okladomah 2 Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 We're going down aren't we? Because of a draw with a decent side, when on another day could easily have been a win? It's happened too many times this season. The fight is there but the quality isn't. With Swansea, Crystal Palace and Watford winning it was actually pretty bad. Not moaning, just being realistic.

Ayresome7 187 Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 I hate to say it but after tonight and January transfer window I think we are going down unless something drastically changes. Competition around us have strengthened and are beginning to grind out wins at home instead of laboured draws Link to post Share on other sites
Weasel 965 Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 We're going down aren't we? I'd say it's 50/50. I just honestly don't see where our next points are coming from. I'm off to bed a bit depressed by us at the minute, hopefully wake up to news of a last minute wonder signing but I won't hold my breath Honestly I think the way we stay up is by beating Swansea/Palace/Sunderland and Hull Link to post Share on other sites

Exactly. We just lack quality, never get excited when anyone bar Traore has the ball. We have no idea how to attack as a unit and we honestly look very much like a Championship side Link to post Share on other sites

Not moaning, just being realistic. exactly my thoughts, but if you say things like this the rose tinted squad will insult you and tell you to F off. if we survive i will be veryyyyyyy suprised. i mean have you seen our next 6 games good lord we'll be lucky if we get 3 points.

Weasel 965 Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 Don't even think it's a bad result, all the drive is there but our squad just lacks actual ability and talent. I think Karanka is probably over achieving with some of these players. Link to post Share on other sites
Boro 86 511 Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 Started off very poorly but decent after the goal and yes it looked a pen both times on my fairly dodgy stream. West Brom had good chances though so a decent point in the end. Link to post Share on other sites

We seem to turn it on a bit against the big boys - you just never know. It would be pretty typical Boro to knack the big guns after the last set of results! Link to post Share on other sites
richmfc 41 Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 Really good result. Of course wanted to win but really didn't think we'd get anything out of this as West Brom are flying not many teams will get a result from these Link to post Share on other sites
boro-unger 3,811 Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 Not a bad result or performance tonight. The first 15 minutes were dire, but the goals lifted us a lot. Probably a fair result as both teams will be scratching their heads as to why they didn't score more. Link to post Share on other sites

Uwe 3,543 Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 I expected nothing from this game so am happy with a point. But am over the moon with the performance. Traore may steal the nickname beast from Negredo at this rate. Brilliant going forward, and did some great defensive work. Moving him a touch more centrally negates the need for him to cross so he links up with short passes. Negredo worked his ass off too. It's a shame we didn't win but also we could've easily lost it as well. The only thing I'll say as a slight dampener, is that this game was crying out for Gaston hope he has his head right come Saturday 5pm Link to post Share on other sites
richmfc 41 Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 Stuani MOTM for me today Traore must be up there but yes stuani best game for a long while Link to post Share on other sites
HandsOfSteele 12 Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 I think tonights performance wasnt that bad! A point against West Brom is a big point on the grander scale of things, and we could have easily had another penna... if we keep nicking points here and there against the decent teams, and beat the teams around us, we will be fine. Adama was really fun to watch tonight, and the tracking back he did was fantastic. I see light at the end of the tunnel. One concern i have is bamford. I like the lad, a hell of a lot, but he is lacking so much in match sharpness, and we need someone that can hit the ground running... cant see him having the influence we need in the near future, but deffo a great signing for the long term, in my opinion.

Marz 67 Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 I think tonight confirmed Fabio is our best full back. And Ayala needs to start ahead of Bernado Link to post Share on other sites
