Boro Scot 75 Posted February 5, 2019 Share Posted February 5, 2019 If we beat Leeds I will not be bothered about this game. If we dont beat Leeds Ill send Tony an angry letter...... Just turned the tv on for 2 minutes. That pitch though. Shouldn’t be allowed for professional football. Atrocious. Not an excuse though. But horrendous playing condition. To be fair though, it didnt contribute to either of their goals or us playing so ***e Link to post Share on other sites
Duvel 2,446 Posted February 5, 2019 Share Posted February 5, 2019 This looks like an end of season game where one team needs the points to avoid relegation and are fighting for their lives against a team in mid-table who are going through the motions. I think we've been half-hearted throughout the whole team tonight (not just Britt). Link to post Share on other sites

RonBoro 44 Posted February 5, 2019 Share Posted February 5, 2019 I'm not bothered that we're going out really, we were never gonna win the cup or get past Man City. Its not good seeing us get out battled as much as this though, if we were gonna limp out of the cup why didn't we leave all our key players at home and bring the kids. I thought we would have. Not the kids but Gestede, Fletcher, Downing, Tav, McNair. Especially having seen the state of this pitch and knowing it's likely to be a bit heavy. Quite rightly he didn't play Mikel. Yeah that's what I was thinking, the fringe players. We're probably gonna have half of this team playing on Saturday. Well we know three of the midfield don't we? Sav, Mikel and Besic. Yeah that's what I would be thinking if I was Bielsa. Here is hoping the spy/scout falls asleep watching our team train for this Saturday and reports back pages full of Zzzz.

RealSlimSladeyy 766 Posted February 5, 2019 Share Posted February 5, 2019 Great chance to build some momentum and increase confidence before Leeds wasted. So frustrating. Link to post Share on other sites

Brunners 7,952 Posted February 5, 2019 Share Posted February 5, 2019 Just turned the tv on for 2 minutes. That pitch though. Shouldn’t be allowed for professional football. Atrocious. Not an excuse though. But horrendous playing condition. Newport played really well on it. They do play on pitches like that more regularly, so it's slightly to be expected IMO. But we were gash and there's no getting around that. Link to post Share on other sites

edinboro 804 Posted February 5, 2019 Share Posted February 5, 2019 Hopefully Hugill not injured and everyone came through it in one piece. That’s all that really mattered. Rest up for Saturday. Shotts, Mikel, Savile all rested. Surprised Wing stayed on. If that wasn’t on TV ref would have abandoned it I reckon. Link to post Share on other sites

Hugill wasn’t injured, he always plays like that :) And why?? It was a bit muddy, I’ve seen a hell of a lot worse Link to post Share on other sites
