Remembering Hav: The Official Middlesbrough Vs City matchday thread

[ExiledAjax]

Toby on RobinsTV very, very nearly said "Bristol S****y" just then.

[The Original OTIB]

Commentator nearly said Bristol Sh*tty.

[cityexile]

FT. Second half maybe deserved something from the game, but again bad defence and that’s that. The wait goes on.

[Red Exile]

Oh dear.

[Ska Junkie]

17th according to the EFL site.

[Negan]

We were right to think next season will be a better chance for us to challenge for promotion. Granted it will be from League 1… don’t want to be doom and gloom but I just can’t see this team staying up. It’s so bad

I didn't mishear it then!

Scummers lost 2 nil and are now in the bottom 2. They can't say they only spent 20 minutes in the drop zone this season.

Based purely on results we’re worse. 

With the players NP has had available we are worse in every department - IMO.

Spotlight needs to turned on the current coaching and away from ex managers and club officials.

[joe jordans teeth]

Think we all knew it was going to be tough which why personally can take it as it comes now,if there isn’t one worse team than us so be it

Verging ever closer to stating 'NP out.' 

I'm not, not yet but the evidence isnt looking great at this stage. 

Just exactly how shite are we

 

 

[Clevedon Red]

62% possession 2 shots on target compared to Boro’s 7 from 38%. 

[robin_unreliant]

Blackpool lost 0-2 at home. Maybe they ARE that bad.

[WWred]

feel like we've been shit for ages now

Let me let you into a secret of mine. 

At dark times like this, just head on over to gas chat. Thank me later. 

[Baba Yaga]

Both goals should have been defended better but at least they showed some fight for a spell, both league goals so far have been headers and I wonder how much we will struggle to score other types of goals. In a bad moment right now but there are some other poor teams in the division too, long season ahead but one win and things will start looking up.

As said before, NP has inherited an absolute mess of a team at the worse possible time. I think this might be a job even too far for someone with his experience

In other news, thank you very much Stevenage.

[Jerseybean]

Extremely frustrating on numerous levels, too many players were anonymous, AW, KP and CM in particular, having got level our poor defending led to their winner, frustrated +++ by our lack of creativity and few decent chances. Warnock showing us how to manage out a game.

Main positive for me Rob Atkinson, who looks the real deal.

Work in progress I know but we aren’t going to create much/score many and need to defend well, today we demonstrated our failures up front and at the back!

[Red_Alligator]

A disappointing result if not unexpected today. Looked ok sometimes, poor others. This will likely be the pattern for a while yet.

COYR!!

So when does the owner start taking responsibility? The mess this club has become since that United game is remarkable. And not one of those players still here. 

Johnson, Holden, Ashton, and now Pearson..  ..I know who is to blame but people don't like to look at the top.......

[The Hustler]

Again, not defending properly has cost us…

Take that out, and I didn’t think it was that ‘bad’ a performance. Certainly much better when Wells came on and added some pace up front.

[JamesBCFC]

Todays consolation

Is this one better?

I actually think it is, yes. 

Look, in theory, I completely agree that TK should be in the team on ability. I've just got a feeling he wants out, and has for a while. If that's the case, best for all to move on. He's given us a lot and should probably be in a better team at this point in his career.

Absolutely. We could be in a League 2 relegation place.

I heard from a couple of different sources, that a certain player has allegedly been caught having an affair with another players wife, would explain a few things if true.

Will this be deleted now?

 

Terrible if true. That would have a really negative affect in the dressing room

[TRL]

I think that's' md done vping  I am paying to be entertained.  No urgency, lots of diving and choosing the wrong option, if counter attacking (poorly) and diving around is what is being coached, then I have zero interest, appalling.  Its like watching Johnson or Holden's teams but with added flair Grealish type tumbling. while following thou shall not create or shoot doctrine

If he’s gone by Christmas then we’ll be down by the end of the season. He’s inherited a mess of a side.

My god Twitter is even worse than Otib for a meltdown. Some ridiculous comments. Early days for goodness sake. COYR
