Ragnar 48 Posted August 17, 2019 Share Posted August 17, 2019 I wouldn't mind if Gibson came out clean and said that our aspirations were just to be a steady away mediocre Championship club....but he won't cos he wants season card revenues Link to post Share on other sites

The play before wings goal vs Luton was great and I dont think we would have seen it under pulis. But yes, certainly havent seen any consistent improvement. I'd agree with this, we have seen an effort to move towards a more attacking approach. But it's early on in our teams development and we certainly cannot keep up the attacking play over a prolonged period. At Luton 1st and 3rd goals were flashes of how we wanted to progress. Brentford first half we looked good also. But 2nd half was like watching a Pulis team, we seemed devoid of all ideas and everyone was static. This is also a reply to you @Changing Times.

Trying to find positives but cannot see anything, rovers have controlled the game so far and we've barely challenged them. I honestly am struggling to see where our next point is coming from. Hoping to see a much improved second half but not holding my breath. Stupid play from Dijksteel. Pity they pulled down Symphonia stand ....Boro could be playing there next year Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah there's the tiniest of tugs on the arm, Graham sells it like nobodies business though, so I think that's why it got given. Had my fooled watching it live, but on replay...it's soft for me. I honestly think we're unlucky to be losing here. No, we haven't been good, but we've gifted them their goal and they've had one other good chance. Fingers crossed for a rocket up the backside and an improved second half, but I'm not gonna hold my breath... Link to post Share on other sites
Changing Times 12,218 Posted August 17, 2019 Share Posted August 17, 2019 Browne on at half time maybe? Change the midfield around a bit maybe? If only Gestede wasn't injured ?♂️ Link to post Share on other sites

BoroSmoggie 2,678 Posted August 17, 2019 Share Posted August 17, 2019 Blackburn are literally so bad aswell. why are we going long to Britt now? He’s one of the worst players with his back to goal. Start passing the ball about, one of the midfielders had to get it off the defence. Missing Clayton? Link to post Share on other sites
ballyclover 210 Posted August 17, 2019 Share Posted August 17, 2019 The negativity on this thread is amazing. 3 league games in, new manager, new coaches flashes of decent football bloody hell give them a chance at least. May not be the coaching team we wanted but its the one we have. Cheer up guys, sun is shining and the beers cold, well it is here on my hols 2 Link to post Share on other sites

wilsoncgp 9,230 Posted August 17, 2019 Share Posted August 17, 2019 Was watching it back whilst listening to Maddo describe it as the whistle went and I can kind of make it out. Still, it's a soft one when you consider McNair was dragged to the floor by his shirt a week ago and got told to get him. Standard Championship refereeing, it's bloody dreadfully inconsistent.
