We all need to hear it. Your wisdom and experience could save us. An old dinosaur like Bruce wouldn't listen but surely you helping a novice like phelan would be welcomed. Tactics, rotating players, different formations for different opposition. We got it all before. Now nothing.
You really are an arse sometimes/most of the time/ all the time (delete as appropriate.) My heart isn't in it this season, I've had 3 immediate family members die in the last 3 months, I just don't have the energy to bother at the moment. Come back in 2017.
I'm sure we'd all have taken 4 points if offered them from these last 2 home games. The first half performance is obviously a worry and that blame does lie at Phelan's door. Plenty of teams in this league would have put the game beyond us by half time. Still, great resilience shown to get a point and it gives us something to build on. Think we desperately need a result away from home though to build on the points we've picked up at home.
Well Boro away is next up. They are another team 'in and around us' but once again they have a decent striker - Negredo (a Phil Brown/Duffen target!) and it's a ground where we haven't done so well at in the recent past (an FA Cup victory there in 2013/14)- our last win in the league was in 1985/86
Still irked by that last minute winner they scored in March. Would love to get one over them for that!
I also remember a Christmas period winner they scored on 90 mins to win - think it was 2012? Barry Bannon maybe..
They should have put us to the sword when we were all over the pace in the first half, instead they started time wasting the minute as soon as they went one up and any team who time waste for the majority of the game deserve to drop points. I'm glad Pulis isn't our manager, apart from the negativity, he was jumping up and down complaining about everything. So having irritated me on Saturday, this has brightened my day....
