To me the Paterson situation is getting a bit like when Fontaine was continuously played despite being devoid of form or confidence. 

Paterson needs to be out of the squad for a few weeks.

Paterson is the one and only key to have us playing some constructive offensive football

Not heard anyone mention a gulf in class on the plus side for us for a few years now. It's been a one way street downhill for quite some time.

 

The gulf depends on from what perspective you are looking from.

Fammy needs to strengthen up aswell. He is weak as piss 

The gulf in class between both sets of players is frightening

If there really was a “gulf in class” between these two sets of players, would they be five points behind us and playing in the same division?

Triple halftime sub please LJ
Taylor for Paterson
Weimann for Dirediou
Dasilva for Kelly

Complete lack of movement today

You know when you give one of our own players an insulting nickname you come off like an embarrassing child, right? A little like the current president.

Is Walsh actually going to play? **** me has hell frozen over?

I’m sure if you read the rest of this thread you’ll feel better, knowing that the game is already over, we are rubbish and our manager is clueless. The experts have spoken..!

It's the new way in football. Exactly the same on Stoke and West Brom (where I also post) forums. Boro fans totally brassed off despite being top (though they have one massively valid reason for hating life). Seems to me that very few football supporters are happy or satisfied with what they're watching anymore.

No I'm not. He is the one single player that can boss a serie of constructive passes in offensive play

Re “massively valid” are you referring to Pulis?

Surely you can’t dislike him that much after everything he achieved at Stoke?

[Super]

What were the ht changes?

HT 0-1. Stoke been marginally the better side, more quick attacking than we have had. LJ took a gamble playing Pato in No.10 role and it simply has not worked, Pato has been anonymous. What gets me is Fammy & Taylor played so well together against Stoke in the league cup and Stoke have struggled defensively against busy clever players like Taylor.

LJ should haul Pato off and put Taylor on over HT, but I bet he doesn't do anything.

So all the posts about us being total garbage and Stoke looking streets ahead of us is just the usual childish OTIB overreaction then. Good to know there's still a game to be won.

Except he has not done that in the past 9 months!

It’s clear Johnson still struggles to pick his best side for the right game  

What happened to the days when a manager knew his best team and regularly played it. Constant changes by Johnson game by game and the obsession of playing Paterson , when he has been useless for 9 months , leads to a lack of consistency and performance week in week out. When is Johnson ever going to learn.

Its just banter! 

[Major Isewater]

There's only one goal in it and the match is fairly even.

I'd like to see Taylor bought in for Pato . 

 

[petehinton]

Taken off COD & Kelly but left Pato on. Bold. Very bold. 

[Nuno Gomes]

Kelly and COD off

[MelksRed]

So....unsurprisingly we still have an overriding tendency to keep going up the left.....to predictable...stoke have clearly done their homework.......Pato...still seemingly lost.....having no impact on the game....we are generating chances but have not idea how to convert them. 

Pack seems to be a shadow of him former self......

We have it in us to turn it about....just need to take the few chances we create!

No one has said they are any better than us. It's a piss poor game and we are playing to their strengths.

Ooh yay, my least favourite word. Whatever, as long as you're not openly insulting our players.

Oh I can. I won't bore you with the details now, but I gave a full explanation when I first joined this forum, so feel free to check out my previous posts.

Like I said though, you can be top of the league with Pulis as Boro are at the moment and still be hating it. I totally get where they're coming from.

Just reading through the comments about Patterson - did the Forest fans not say he was a hugely frustrating player as one game he would be fantastic, and then for 3 or 4 he'd be annoymous? To be fair I think we've had more better performances than bad from him (overall), but is he now just going through the motions? 

Probably doesn't help that we rarely play the same 11, but he really needs to start showing some consistency and start kicking on. Mind you he's not playing great at the moment and staying in the team so who knows.

Should have been at HT not in the 80th minute,  which is what will happen.

Walsh? Who’s Walsh......

Wow. I think we understand better than most that Pulis isn’t everyone’s cup of tea, to say the least, but I wouldn’t have expected that strength of feeling from a fan of a team he got promoted and established in the top division.
