    Look at that goal, Boro hve 4 people in the box.

    If that was at the other end, who would be in their box? Hernandez on his own against two giant centre halves, a full back and two defensive midfielders.

    That's the difference between Bruce and a half decent manager.

    We were time wasting in a game we needed to win ffs.

    4-3-3 and 4-5-1 are pretty much the same thing depending on whether you're under pressure or applying pressure during phases within the game.

    But they've got decent strikers so they win. Bruce says every week you're only as good as you're strikers and when it comes to signing strikers Bruce is ****ing pathetic. They've also got a player who can head a ball.

    4 attacking players in the box in the 90th minute - would we be trying that with the score 0-0 at home.

    Damn

    That half decent manager that took his side from 6 points clear at the top to 4 points behind in just over a month?

    Bruce is talking about 2 chances? ****ing hell - we should be creating more than 2 chances against a side as **** as Boro.

    We should be wiping the floor with clubs like this.

    How anyone can call Akpom a "Striker' when he's scored 3 goals in 50-odd appearances has got me tossed. Why did we bring a bloke in who hadn't scored in 21 appearances for 4 different clubs? NASA!

    433 suggests to me an attacking formation , 451 suggest a defensive one

    Obviously we wouldn't have realised it until many years later but Frankie Banks bore a very unfortunate resemblance to Fred West.

    Don't agree that we set up for the draw but yeah we lose a ridiculous number of games 1-0. I made this point on the AN podcast the other week. Over the last couple of seasons we've lost so many games 1-0. Games which other teams would draw or even win we play well and lose just because we don't have the ability to score a goal. We're so easy to best just because of that one simple weakness. It's bizarre that we concede so few yet still manage to lose so many.

    What's Bruce done? Taken us from 4 points clear to 8 behind in just over a month?

    Make that 11 points tomorrow.

    433 would be an attacking formation for any other team but for us it means 4 defenders, 3 midfielders and another 3 midfielders.

    This self righteous attitude helps no one. We have no right to win any game, reputation means absolutely nothing, you have to perform well to win.
