After the debacle of the 2nd half of last season, fans will turn on Johnson very quickly, he said 3 transfer windows, he has had 4 I think, bought and sold dozens of players. Is it 4 wins in 24? I don't know any club who tolerate that. I'm pretty patient, more so than most but getting fed up already.

FWIW he’s had five

Boos at halftime. 

We sold the spine of the team, what do we honestly expect?

We are poor and you can sense the drop in energy levels. 

It’s flatter than a pancake here today. It’s sad really.

Let’s be honest here

That performance is one of a side staring straight down the barrels of a relegation scrap

Very frustrating again.

Boro have done nothing and scored 2 goals from two chances.

First one took a lucky bounce and on another day, with a different ref, could have been a foul by the very physical Assom on Webster.

Second one could have been a foul on Hunt by the, again, very physical Assom. 

Or maybe we are just powder-puff?

Either way too easy, much too easy for Boro

And we made a considerable profit on transfers. People tend to forget that a, if not the, key part of the strategy is to improve the club's financial position. SL seems to have put his foot down on that this summer.

Whoever the head coach is they will have to live with that constraint.

O dear.

Boro have not really had to do too much, and look like they have hardly had to move through the gears very much.

Yes, it is a makeshift defence, but that to one side, we are so considered going forward it all ends up pointless. Equally, so many games in this league are so tight that tactics, players, nothing matters unless you can defend. It really is as simple as that. For the third league game in a row we have given poor goals away, against a side that will make it very difficult.

No high press, no real idea what to do. Don’t want to read to much in to one half of course, but on its own it is relegation form.

Kelly and Hunt haven’t played badly, have been let down entirely by Webster and Pisano 

Disagree slightly. Pisano out of position, not his fault. Kelly, entirely blameless, the other two........rubbish, garbage, call them what you like, we spent £3m on a centre half who is about half the player Lloyd Kelly is.

First half in a nutshell.......IMO very akin to last week v Bolton, in that City have had lots of possession and are playing neat passing stuff in their half but rarely create or threaten anything in the final third. Boro (who haven’t been threatened) have only had a couple of chances (the first gifted them due to sloppy defending) and have been clinical on both occasions (also reminiscent of last week’s game when Bolton scored with practically the first opening they had). All City players look OK, despite not creating any real threat, with our main chances coming from the right but again AW is isolated and we have started to play very hopeful, straight balls to him which are easy to defend. 

Boro are very comfortable and failing a miracle are leaving AG with three points.
