Match Day Thread Middlesbrough v. Swansea City

As bad as we've been we could easily have scored 2 this half. Couple that with the penalty that never was and it is not as **** as the result looks.

 

Could have had another then.....

 

Get the rose tints off ffs.

 

Coulda, woulda shoulda = NIL POINTS.

 

I still believe we can get 2 home wins before new year....but the players need to start and stay strong in both. Today we've gone 2 down with a couple of dodgy decisions.....a foul on Siggy which led to the breakaway and a thrown in that wasn't. Both a good hard kick in the knackers. I guess we'll see if BB is in charge. I think he should take the next 2 and see where we are then.

 

Finished well .....If we can get some sort of defence figured out , we'll be fine ....big if though .

 

I just think that - defence wise - we are a shambles. Going forward - if we did it at pace we'd frighten teams. So as awful as we are I don't think it's a lost cause just yet. Just need a bit more organising and a bit of luck with poor refereeing decisions.

 

I wouldn't give him one more game the guy is utterly clueless, I've not seen a manager this inept for a long time, he makes Franco look a world class, if he is not sacked after this game then we are clueless in the boardroom as well, or wait we know that already!...................

 

There are signs of better play but we shoot ourselves in the foot all the time. We need to spend on a new central spine of the team in Jan and maybe we'll be ok...still a long way to go.

 

It's Official, Swansea are in serious trouble.....................

 

I'm looking for something to cling on to. Here it is. The next two games are at home. We've won the last two at home. We're better at home.

 

I just think getting rid now might make it even harder to get the 6 points we need from the next 2. I know Curt can step in but frankly what influence as he had this season, and he's closer to BB than he was with FG. Also, some of the players showed fight to the end....the quality just wasn't there. Would they do that for a manager they didn't respect?

I tend to agree that BB is effectively done based on results. I just think we need to have his replacement ready before we pull the plug....on him and Jenks!

 

Showed some fight last 10 minutes but it's not good enough. Commentator saying we're soft was spot on. We're an easy 3 goals at least for nearly every team in the league unless we sort the defence out. They're a total shambles. Young Mawson won't benefit from playing in that team. His confidence already looks shot. Amat has to be dropped now. I'd have taken him off half time.

As a team we just don't have the players to stay up and definitely not the manager. Made Boro look like Brazil.

Depressed and angry watching the team these days. Feel sorry for the fans that went. Should have their travel reimbursed for that disgrace.

 

We've conceded 18 fvckin goals in his 6 away matches & 25 in total under his stewardship. Eddie Howe's Bournemouth will do one on us no bother & West Ham have just started picking points up against teams they maybe should be, we'll be the same...

Fvckin shambles right through, who of any decent quality, is going to want to come here in our position & certainly under this guy...

Just walk Bob & take the rest of the cretins with you!!

 

I'm not convinced that buying players will be enough, not by a long way. Not saying we don't need that, of course we do, but as much as I hate to say it Bradley has to go. Some more poor results over Christmas and he may well be gone.

 

Losing 3 nil to them.... Wasn't that long ago we were a good team that never rolled over away from home like that to teams of that ilk. In fact, even just 2 years ago we win that game.

Its all gone wrong.

 

As in the tossers that own the club. Didn't refer to any fans.

 

I was wondering where i had seen Bob before and it came to me.

I agree....I think maybe he's already done, I just don't think it will be before Jan.
