I think kamara Was thinking, we have the player covered and if we win the ball back Ill be an outlet to get us up and maybe win the game Its just a silly lack of awareness for the situation And the time of the game Hes not lazy He made a tackle left side of our pen box Hes just a bit dumb at times Same with the media post Its his good mate.. prob not been on his phone in afternoon but after our game Dumb
Out of the teams in the bottom half we’ve got 8 to play at home and 3 away, hopefully that just about sees us over the line. We’ve got a big month coming up though and recruitment needs to be a lot better than the summer
Good team Middlesbrough, shows what a bit of consistency can get you, unfortunately we have a lot of players out, our third manager in a year and a squad of players unfamiliar with their roles and low on confidence. Christmas was never going to be easy, but I'd have taken 3 points from the four games. We must get behind our team, wierd atmosphere at home, I hope Seyes is able to turn MKM into a bit of a fortress
The way we let them run at us for the goal is criminal. Like Vaughan did a few minutes earlier, someone just needed to poleaxe their man and take the card.
We need a minimum 10 points against Millwall, QPR, Stoke and Cardiff. Anything less isn’t good enough.
Yeah, my first game since November for various reasons and expected it to be bouncing, or as "bouncing" as it ever gets anyway, after the Blackburn game but it was as morgue like as ever even before it became apparent that we were only going to scrape a 0-0 at best
Think 8 is probably the minimum. Just hope we don’t lose. I’d have taken 3 from Blackburn, Leeds, Boro. We should have 4. Hopefully we catch Leeds on one of their bottling games
You cant possibly speak for every fan and I would argue that our better players understood it perfectly, hence the great performances at QPR, at home to Burnley, Stoke away where we had Millar (only QPR) Belloumi, Zambrano, Jones and an in form Simons in those matches. Mehlem looked OK and seemed to get it. Macca was trying his hardest to make it work. It wasn't just luck that we beat two sides away from home 1-3. We lost 3 of those players and pretty much our whole attacking ability went with Belloumi and Millar. Replaced by Kamara!!! As I've said, Tim was guilty of being too stubborn to sit with two banks of 4 and accept that he can't play that style with crap like Slater and Kamara in the team but he didn't and it cost him. He might have got to this point and be able to bring in some quality. We will never know.
Wasnt great performances v qpr and stoke either And burnley was good for first half They penned us whole 2nd half
I agree mainly with what you say but with a bit more experience and knowledge Vaughan could have kept possession and gone down to the corner flag and wasted more time trying to get a throw-in or corner klck.
Just a poor game. Alzate looked bright and Pandur made some big saves but that's about it. Boro have a stack of injuries and to not test a **** keeper more is poor.
Don't think so. He was rubbish here in Australia and I have no idea how he earned a move to Boro, must have a stellar agent.
That often doesn't work though, the ref just looks to give a defensive free kick as soon as possible, and then we'd be exactly where we ended up with them having a dead ball and us retreating the length of the pitch again. I liked the ball he played and I think if Kamara had competed for it we'd have been able to keep possession or maybe win a corner instead of just gifting them the goal kick for the sake of a very weak penalty appeal.
It really was poor from us. Haven’t seen a City side be that dominated for a few years now. I’m also not buying the excuses that we had to play the way we did because it’s Boro and they’re a better team. Plymouth scored three against them a few weeks ago. We didn’t register a single shot on target. Parking the bus for the majority of the game and hoofing it long whenever we got the ball back in a failed attempt to grind out a draw is turgid and negative. The excuses made to justify it are a pathetic cop-out.
