Sunderland were a batter more solid team than us despite our flurry for the first 20 minutes
Using this as the tipping point for Carrick to be sacked when we are sat in 7th with 14 games to go and have just brought new players into the fold is beyond crazy to me.
Following the BoroIf last night was a one off, then I'd agree.
But I think this is a case of you not seeing the wood for the trees.

This is another thing for me. I'm still pro-Carrick, but if we do manage to finish Top 6, I would have very little confidence in the playoffs based on our last appearance, and our current form.I'm not in the Carrick out camp, but he's becoming increasingly difficult to defend - his gameday strategies even more so.
We play the same way that we did against Coventry in the 2023 Play Offs. It's predictable, it's easily defended against and if the opposition can control the midfield, we're persistently on the backfoot. We're unable to kill games off consistently and we've had too many faults leading to goals.
I think you'd be hard pushed to find a fan who is still insisting on putting their rose tinted specs on.
He knows how to score brilliant own goals Giles.I'm upset because the shock of that OG was like a solid hoof in the bòllocks and I can still feel it.
Whilst I think the OP was a good post and one I largely agree with, there is the glaring issue that @h_m_boro highlights.But p*ssed off we've done the same thing again. Scored, looking comfortable, then turn to sh*t when a bit of pressure applied.
What rubbish. Trying to gift them goals from the start. The first goal should never have happened because soft Burgzorg should have put his foot through it but didn't.. Their manager had a word with them at half time, I. E. Just run at them, and we fell apart.…because we lost against Sunderland?
The game I saw was winnable but yet again we were very unlucky. The deflection for the 2nd goal and the random own goal for their third.

We have been saying it for weeks that the top 4 are too far away now to catch, so we have 5th to aim for. We are 1 point away.
Yes, we’ll need to put a good run together but we have it in us. We have new lads coming into the side and after Sheffield Utd the games get a bit easier.
Or look at it another way. Now the window is over and the Lath speculation is finished we can focus on the pitch. We know who our players are for the rest of the season. We can draw a line under last night. These lads know what needs to be done.
I think we can beat Sheffield Utd. After last night’s carry on it would be so Typical Boro to smash 3 past them and start on a great run.
Don't be talking sense on here, you know you have to shot your toys out of the pram to fit in.…because we lost against Sunderland?

And there was me thinking you didn't have a clue, especially ones to give away.I will give you a clue. It's not just about last night.
Wow. Doesn't do tap ins does he? Almost felt the ghost of Snowy Whelan tap me on the shoulder.He knows how to score brilliant own goals Giles.
