Boro vs Norwich (A) 0-1

[Brunners 7,982]

Has to be Howson’s worst ever performance for us

 

Would he even be our worst player today?  There's some decent competition.

 

Yeah I was just gonna say there's not been a single good performance out there at all, everyone has been ***ing dire.

[Changing Times 12,343]

I have honestly got no idea how were supposed to be set up right now. Offensively and defensively we've looked all over the place ever since the goal. Players just sort of exist on the pitch without any real thought or consideration as to where they should be.

 

Tactics.

I suspect that’s the last we will see of the top 2 positions.

Arnt we still second?

[Jimmy 140]

Rubbish performance and rubbish result, but not the end of the world. Two winnable home games now in a row and that’ll see us back in the top 2.

[sanddancer 1,967]

Embarrassing performance. I have no idea what Pulis intended or why the players managed to all underperform.

Down to 4th now

 

Brentford 2nd Bristol City 3rd

[Jamie-H 1,322]

Think Fry was shaky on the ball, Downing's been very poor and Friend's been a liability on and off the ball they'd be my top 3 worst performers even though they have competition I think Shotton's been solid and the 3 CBs have blocked/read the game well enough it was that 1 switch off where they just sauntered in the box played a give and go between our players and they've got the 3 points from it.

 

We haven't done enough to win this game you'd expect us to build pressure since we went a goal down instead we're just giving it wide and either losing the ball instantly or crossing to a yellow shirt. Set pieces were mainly taken by Downing today I think Mo took 2 early corners but besides that it's all been down to Downing and his delivery has been very poor. Hopefully this performance prompts a few of changes for the next game.

Ah crap!

Oh well, 14 points from 7 games is a good return but lessons must be learnt

[wilsoncgp 9,283]

That's twice the ref has given absolute ***e hand balls since the clear as day Norwich one in the first half.

[sackrobson2 371]

1 point from 6 with that line up. Might have been better off getting thrashed by Leeds so we played a proper team today. Maybe we’d have ended up with 3 points from 6. That line up was clearly *** to all of us yet Pulis has picked it twice.

Ironic a draw or win takes us top. Mr Pulis what exactly was the plan playing a team in 17 th?

[Borodane 6,301]

Dismal from Pulis today and he deserves to be roasted in the press conference

[Dynamo Kev 1,557]

got exactly what we deserved then. nothing. if you show no desire to win then you'll get beat. pathetic.
