boro-unger 3,817 Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 Well I can understand some being a little underwhelmed but I don't think we are any weaker than we were at the beginning of January. If Harrison turns out ok I think the addition of a solid defender in Cranie and a bit of something different in Basic gives our squad a little more balance. In an ideal world I would really like another forward but I can understand if that doesn't happen. Hopefully a few more outs and the squad will be a more manageable size. So what's going to improve our win rate and get us in to promotion? Confidence. We have the players, we're creating the chances... We're just not taking any of them So we should be buying a big bag of confidence in January... Think Woody can probably help us out with that one... Link to post Share on other sites

Duvel 2,446 Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 Is it another transfer window where we don't sign a creative player? Harrison? He's not even ready to play yet, it sounds like a he'll take a while to get up to speed. Link to post Share on other sites
ChipBarrington 313 Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 I would rather Christie on at 0-0 than Clayton. I like Clayton but he isn't the kind of player to stick on when you need a goal. I saw people pointing out we had 27 shots over the 2 games and although we didn't score it is something to be celebrated. Sadly when most of these chances come to centre backs or end up as snapshots from knockdown s the conversion rate isn't going to be great. I hope this Harrison is good and if we are going to keep Baker I would at least hope he will get a few games. "Oh but he was rubbish last time out"... who wasn't? Even Shotton has gone from the biggest waste of money ever and everyone knew it because they had seen him before and he was always rubbish and I said it first to..well...a defensively solid RB Link to post Share on other sites

Duvel 2,446 Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 No problem for me selling Christie and Braithwaite, it's a concern if we haven't replaced them though. Link to post Share on other sites
mendieta420 988 Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 Well the casual fans that haven’t been following the transfer news and just see what Boro post on Facebook are in complete meltdown. Not a great look when you’re asking everyone to stick together. Link to post Share on other sites
Oslo_Syd 320 Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 Getting rid of Braithwaite is a bad move. Link to post Share on other sites

smogsterking the Inspirati 2,453 Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 On a positive note I hated the Cyrus Christie and Braithwaite chants so every cloud and all that. You're still thinking of the bad news. Link to post Share on other sites

Creativity and attacking flair... out Height and ability to kick people... in Yippee!!!! :/ Think your under selling besic there, has more technique in this little finger than Clayton or leadbitter. Also bringing traore on more than any previous manager Took a gamble on Harrison who is the exact opposite of what your suggesting. Everyone is moaning about us selling a player who did nothing and signing a cloggers who will barely play anyway. Ridiculous reaction from some of our fans Link to post Share on other sites
