Match Day Thread Middlesbrough v Hull City

We played well (better than our recent games) but unfortunately still not scoring.

 

You didn't understand my comment old chap. But that's to be expected

 

What he said.
Roll out the drama queens, the hyperbole, the wailing and the screaming.

Nine games to go and we have a lot to play for. You can't legislate for a nicked winner, and it's just how it goes.

 

Its not just you who thinks its been like that for weeks though. Final third is where goals are scored I think.

 

I disagree. We have one recognised striker and a bunch of misfits, midfielders and mishaps. Beyond Hernandez we have no one else to score, his goals dry up, our goals dry up.

We've needed proper striking options and alternatives up front for 2-3 seasons now. Still not addressed as we continue to shop in Aldi and Lidl. We need to go and shop in Waitrose.

 

Hernandez was very static, things aren't right-good spot

 

Two months ago we had just completed a five match winning run without conceding a goal, what 6he f*** has happened to us in March? Still, that was floodlit robbery, a cruel sucker punch to the goolies. Bruce however, is culpable with his safety first tactics and squeaky bum rhetoric. Spring on Monday mind!

 

Clucas should have been dropped ages ago, he has been tripe for weeks. We have no idea what to do in the final third. Diame

What as it was on the Sky formation? We certainly didnt as Snod grass was playing right mid and Clucas n the left standard. Why we didnt revert to 352 and push the wingers up. BRUCE!!!ITS NOT WORKING

 

You can when Bruce sets up for a draw and is then shocked when the opposition try to score. How many games have we lost 1-0? It's dismal.

 

same thing that's happened to us for the last 4 seasons

under bruce we bottle it

 

Hull City nil,get used to it with Bruce in charge.

 

The strikers weren't playing cos they aren't strikers arseholes Roo. If they were playing well Bruce would never have dropped them.

 

Nige's open to offers !
Final nine games, could make all the difference

 

And guess who doesn't bother to close the cross down. Yeah... My favourite Clucas

 

Been like this for weeks mate,don't you go?

 

Once again the opposition manager talks about us being a Premier League side. I hate this so much. Everyone sees us as a scalp cos we've got so many great players yet we're just getting nothing for it. We should be showing these teams how good we are with goals rather than every manager being so delighted at beating us and having to remind the interviewer what a great side we are.

 

Well that was hard to take,

Sometimes in football you just don't get what you deserve, games can turn in an instant it's what makes it such an exciting sport.

Fair play to boro, one chance, once goal, all three points. However given how poor they were I'm not worried about them for the rest of the season, they will drop plenty of points and its up to us to make sure we capitalise on it.

It's not over by a long stretch, remember these dark days when we're celebrating promotion in couple of months. Keep your heads up, we're Hull City we don't do things the easy way!

 

We didn't play well. We perhaps played slightly better than boro who where also poor.

 

Bollocks did we , he set up 451 , clucas and snodgrass barely got out our half , 433 would mean they would spend more time supporting aluko they didn't , not seen any quotes from Bruce saying it was 433 if he does he's a fool

 

Awaiting some cracking rhetoric on this thread from Smoggo, should be a good laugh.
