AnglianRed 6,229 Posted April 15, 2017 Share Posted April 15, 2017 I think Boro games could be entertaining for neutrals if they simply turned it into a drinking game. Every time we pass back to Valdes have a drink. Every time we fail to get a shot on target have a drink. Every time Downing doesn't try to beat his man have a drink. Every time Traore does try to beat his man (and everyone else's) have a drink. Every time an attacking move is stalled and we end up going back to the defenders have a drink. An old favourite would have been every time we aim it long for our lone striker who has nobody within 30 yards of him have a drink. I'm sure we can all think of lots more. Do that for a couple of hours and any neutral should be more than happy. I'm not sure alcohol poisoning is a cause for happiness... :s Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Changing Times Posted April 15, 2017 Share Posted April 15, 2017 I don't think Agnew should be anywhere near our manager's position. However, he's taken over at a point where we have to win games. Narrowly losing and people being content because we didn't get battered isn't an option, nor is trying to scrape draws and hoping for the best. We spent the bulk of the season doing just that and it left us second bottom after 27 games and losing ground on teams that we were actually better than a few months previously. Therefore Agnew is now changing stuff to try and find a formula that works and gives us a shot of actually winning. Personally I'd rather that than changing nothing, still losing and simply not looking like winning at all or getting close to it. I really don't see how anyone can logically be happier with that? If he stumbles on something that works then great although I won't be holding my breath. One things for certain though, continuing as we were wasn't going to lead to a more successful conclusion to this season. Link to post Share on other sites

boro-unger 3,817 Posted April 15, 2017 Share Posted April 15, 2017 Decent results for us today, but we've messed up with the 'easy' games that often that games like this become 'must wins'. Oddly I'm feeling confident. Hopefully ***nal continue their rocky patch and we nick it 1-0. I'd have bamford starting up front with Gestede or negredo. They could both be fruitful partnerships. I just want to watch the funny fellows at ***nal.tv having a meltdown after the game... Link to post Share on other sites

ChipBarrington 313 Posted April 15, 2017 Share Posted April 15, 2017 Yep today went quite well so need to win to get any sliver of hope back. If we do win on Monday then it changes the whole landscape Link to post Share on other sites

Red Rocket 244 Posted April 15, 2017 Share Posted April 15, 2017 Don't get me wrong, I love this club to the moon and back. I go to most matches. I cheer and shout from the first minute until that final whistle but I'm also aware that it's not going to have much of an impact. We can't score, we leak goals and relegation us upon us. It doesn't mean I love the club any less. It just means I've steeled myself for the inevitable. I've seen nothing from the previous games to suggest that we're staying up.

ChipBarrington 313 Posted April 15, 2017 Share Posted April 15, 2017 Hope is all we have left! Its certainly not belief. Sheer unadulterated hope Link to post Share on other sites
Will 2,958 Posted April 15, 2017 Share Posted April 15, 2017 Whilst I agree with everything you've said Red, I can't stop believing that we could do it whilst it's still in our hands. A bit of luck, a bounce of a ball, that might be all it takes. Get a win on Monday and everything changes. Link to post Share on other sites
