Just a bit of an explanation of why Betinelli never came for that ball:

There are 45 mph gusts of wind, it's been windy as feck all-day
Judging ball flight is an absolute nightmare when it's like that
The striker can gamble and has nothing to lose
The keeper can come for it, but has all to lose
They wellied the ball out from the 6-yard box, at that point, all of our defenders were within 40 yards of THEIR goal
Our last man was Howson, and even he was in their half

So frustrating tonight.
Think it is only human as fans to focus on the weakest links.....old tensions rise to the surface.
Bettinelli isn't a good keeper - evidence with us proves it - he can kick it hard and wallop it downfield and that's about it.
Frustrating that he's a shoe-in every week and Archer was brought in for a laugh.

Britt is terrible - record transfer fee and record wages and captain.....you would have to be the most 'fair minded' man in the world to not be seething with his performances and attitude. (I know its not his fault tonight....but he is still a fanny....and his absence, though justified, doesn't help us).
Akpom falsifying his CV and fooling the bods that be that he is a striker grates too.

Errors tonight have been by players who usually play well and put in a shift (eg, Howson, and the whole defence generally).
But its hard to have a go at them too much as they have collected positivity points in the bank.

It's hard to be objective limited to a single game.
If you can be as dispassionate about your football then good on you - must have ice for blood

Perfectly summed up.
They may not be totally at fault today but those two players are our biggest weaknesses.
Thank god by June they'll be long gone.
 
When you think of the class thats graced the Riverside over the years....We thought Derby was bad.
Sorry Boro but this takes the biscuit (n)
 
Looked like we could have walked the ball in early doors.
As usual we fooked it up as we are brain dead up front.
Got to take our chances!!!!
