I get more worried when everyone likes the libe up!

Is that libe or lube Midred ? 

[Major Isewater]

We just don’t want a Bowler hat trick.

Could he have laid it out wide rather than back into the box. I ask as I genuinely don't know if it was a Boro or City player outside of him.

Maybe. Or even pulled the trigger earlier himself. Either way I like a player driving into the box and giving the defense something to worry about. Maybe we'll get a few more pens this season

Antoine is great on Robins TV....just said about teams leaving poo in the toilet!!!

Unfortunately all too often City teams don’t leave their 5h1t in the toilet, they take it with them onto the pitch.

No free streams at all ?

3 times we've put the ball across the area and nobody there, Weimann playing in no mans land.

Enough threads / posts re FFP....that be the reason.

Dave Fevs  ......When u have a spare 10 minutes!?   Could u please give me a break down of how FFP works, and especially relating to us?  What exactly do we have left to spend?...I have read up on it, but cannot seem to grasp the nuances.  I know it's a lot to ask?  But you are the Oracle!   Thanks.

Vyner mistake gives Boro a chance, but comfortable save by Bents for a corner

[The Coach]

Vyner isn’t good enough for this league.

Tbf, I'm not colour blind and I'm struggling to tell who's who do it must be impossible for you.

Oh gosh of course. There is absolutely nothing better in football than seeing number 4 or 5 marauding forwards. I am totally in favour of that.

On this ridiculous kit blend we have today. UEFA publish pretty clear advice on how clubs can avoid pissing off 1 in 12 blokes watching. All it needs is for refs and clubs to have a little bit of thought when deciding on their kits for the season, and for individual games. Red v Black is right there on the "problem kits" page.

I didn't realise that Matt Crooks had signed for Boro from Rotherham. I thought he'd have been a decent recruit in midfield.

Or left 2 on 1?  Have a look at the situation?

Sorry that is so challenging for you. Hopefully word gets back to the clubs. I can't imagine how frustrating it must be

[Lanterne Rouge]

Ipswich losing

[Sturny]

Vyner struggling 

[old_eastender]

Vyner does well to win the ball, then loses it again and gives away a soft FK

[Davefevs]

Langford is so easily conned

[City_USA]

How soft was that

[Davefevs]

Baker swapped left / Atkinson right - Baker on Ikpeazu (strong v strong).

Flexibility to play either side!!!

It might seem petty but I'm probably going to send an email tbh. Can see this happening again at Forest, Barnsley, maybe Bournemouth as well. We must have some of last season's white third kit lying around. Also, Boro's away kit is black as well - so the return match will be just as bad.

I can manage - in the same way someone on crutches can 'manage' stairs.

 

[old_eastender]

20 mins in, seem two closely matched sides but little to get excited about

[old_eastender]

Palmer gives the ball away and Atkinson has to take a yellow to stop them breaking.

20 minutes in and we are not losing, so still a fair bit to get excited about.

White shorts at home?

Still no shots on goal.
