I’m not going to kick a dog when it’s down

I think we all want Boro to pull out of this and escape relegation else we would not be on FMTTM, it is just that we appear to now be short of heart as well as skill and we appear to have been left with too many players who are not up to the fight.
Come on Boro.
 
I must hold my hands up. It’s the predictability of the current from 18 months ago that’s totally flattened me. Perhaps I am just weak but I got through the early 80s feeling better about Boro than I currently do. I simply cannot believe we have walked into this car crash when it was so obvious before it even happened.
 
Fans don’t need to follow suit

Fans are reacting to two losses that appear to have been accepted with a whimper by the players.
It’s normal for fans to react like this after such performances.
I predict we’ll win next time out and everyone will be optimistic about our chances of survival again. That’s the beauty of football-the rollercoaster ride!
 
I hope so, this place is so grim, we all need some cheer.
Give over man, this place isn't grim; it is grim on the pitch.
If the players shape up and battle, the criticism of the players stops.
Swansea, Hull and QPR was shameful and the players deserve stick.

Stoke's players were getting dog's abuse after their defeat to us and subsequent thumping at Wigan. Much worse than on here. The players have responded to criticism and thumped Barnsley 4-0 in their best performance of the season this weekend.
 
Leicester, Wolves, Sheff Utd, Burnley, Palace, Brighton in the prem (and doing well)
Then watching us get tonked by Hull and QPR
£15m striker chuckling and shuffling round the pitch along with £7m & £5m midfielders (former captains) barely breaking a whisper and looking like real soft touches. It's embarrassing.

We lowered the bar and asked for solid average performances.. we didn't get em.
 
All I’m hearing is bad noise. They lack skill but seem to have more heart than many on here
I can only go with the little bits I've heard on the radio since lockdown & reading on here, talking to my mates & not once I have heard the players are showing any passion for the shirt, no fight, no sweating for the cause, the fans are frustrated because the y don't see any urgency in the players considering the position we're in
 
Fans don’t need to follow suit

But the fact is the fans don't matter. They have restarted the season and will finish it playing matches behind closed doors. The fans don't matter anymore.

I feel completely detached from it.

The players will get no help from the fans and it's apparent from the last 2 games that they need all the help they can get.

It will be interesting to see if we get a reaction from any of our lot. I unfortunately suspect not.
 
I don't mind our players laughing and enjoying themselves on the pitch and to be honest I would possibly be doing the same if I were picking up some ot their salaries, but it's sad when it seems that only the fans suffer by the inept performances.

Nail hit firmly on the head with this.(y)
 
Look, I’m as sick as anyone at the state we are in, I just think ripping everything to shreds is getting me down
