Lanterne Rouge Posted December 19, 2020 Report Share Posted December 19, 2020 Probably a damage limitation exercise for us today hoping to avoid dropping down the league too much. Norwich have already beaten Cardiff so they can`t go above us and Swansea are beating Barnsley who can if they win (Barnsley FFS!). The others who can overtake us are Blackburn who are currently 0-0 at Stoke. Edit - Stoke 1-0 up now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we ever had bogey teams ( Millwall/Preston ), then Brentford are much further up the top of that list. Our first real battering is upon us in the new year!

I'd walk all the way to Boro and carry him back for him to manage us. ( well I wouldn't but you can see where I'm going). He would of took the job in an instant and suprise suprise working wonders at boro. Their squad, like many others at this level is bang average. Anyone care to tell me the last time we scored four? He produces not only winning football but better football than has been served up under Holden. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah a good result for Boro. 1-4 away from home. I bet they’ll be up there at the end of the season. When was the last time we scored four in a game? We can’t manage four shots on target at the moment! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lanterne Rouge Posted December 19, 2020 Author Report Share Posted December 19, 2020 A reasonable outcome today given we`ve lost three on the bounce - still ninth and three points off sixth. It could have been a lot worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just looking at the stats, clinical is the word- 6 shots, 4 of them on target- 4 own goals! How sustainable that is over a season, is debatable!

Was talking to a Borough fan the other day. He was so jealous of us having Holden as our manager with the football we play. Fast, free flowing, attacking football with loads of goals.

Over a season but yes that is quite something! I think one of Middlesbrough's goals was an own goal but that's a very healthy ratio- 3/4 and 3/6 if we exclude the og! That Liverpool one- clinical and then some! Results weren't the worst for us today- could have been a little better though but okay in the circs. Shame Sheffield Wednesday won.

Loosey Boy Posted December 19, 2020 Report Share Posted December 19, 2020 If only we’d been mediocre for the last three games and taken 4 points, we’d still be 6th....

It could have been a lot worse. Just to play devil's advocate and given our recent form (of three defeats in a row): Lose the next game, we could be overtaken by the team currently in 14th. Lose the one after that, we could be overtaken by the team currently in 16th. Lose the one after that, we could be overtaken by the team currently in 18th. Glass half empty/hall full I know, but still, it's tight looking up the table, but it's tight looking down it too.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We just have to hope and pray that 8 days rest will lead to more energy and attacking intent from the team/squad - after today, to still only be three points off of sixth is unreal/lucky!
