    Disagree, we still had more about us in that game . Looks alot of tired legs out there , probably should have changed it up a bit after boxing day.

    Okay so if Burstow is coming on, Beale has at least noticed we need a striker.

    Rusyn must be ****e in training

    Going to back to what I said before the game about 3 5 2. They have too many bodies pressing us for loose balls in central midfield and we need strikers holding the ball and running the channels / an outball. It’s too boggy for what we’re trying to achieve. Aouchiche and to a lesser extent Jobe invisible. I’d move Seelt to the right of a three get Hume off drop Clarke Ba Jobe deeper (or sub Jobe (who was booked for **** all) for Pritchard who will win us free kicks) and have a front two of Aouchiche (who is no good alone) and Rusyn

    Going to be ae interesting 45 mins ahead, a tweak or two should get us through. I would take Jobe off now ,as they will target him and he has offered little up front so far tbh

    I refuse to judge a player as bad until they have been given a reasonable chance in the team. Others might and others may stand behind the 'the coaches see them everyday in training' way of thinking, but I flat out refuse to believe spending over 2million on Rusyn and playing him for under 300 minutes in 4 months is even close to being enough to judge him. I feel sorry for him and honestly I hope he asks for a move away in January and smashes it. Pathetic handling of a player who could've been playing European football this season but is instead sat on our bench and playing infront of 500 people for the u21s. Joke.

    Adil has been ****e but no idea why is playing as a 9.

    Pritchard once again needs to be on to make us tick.

    Adil was ****e but out of position. Bit harsh on him but I’m happier there’s a change.

    I know all about the game.

    The only stat is that Boro kept firing in pointless shots over and over but didn't score.

    We still have 45 minutes to do that and we can't play any worse.

    From what I've seen of Rusyan he has a big heart and looks desperate to succeed. He tries his heart out. God only knows what he's thinking right now.
    That being said...come on Burstow!
    He needs service tho

    mate he mustn’t be ready. I agree with you entirely. He mustn’t be ready. There’s no other explanation

    I hope Beale doesn't think that Adil isn't good enough based on that half being played out of position.

    My parents offered to Take us out for food. Free meal better than paying a tenner for this. And I won &100 from one of the machines.

    Not just the lack of bringing Rusyn on, but bringing off Adil when he's being played out of position and didn't do much wrong is pathetic
