Boro v Barnsley

The 2 strikers can score Roofie
Most of the side tonight haven't played much football and certainly not together.
GK Hardly played
Morsey Hasn't played
Bola Hasn't played
Browne Hasnt played
Coulson Hasn't played
Wood Hasn't played
Need I go on, no wonder we looked disjointed....
Panicking already HAHA

No panick.
Just adult concern.

I really don't understand why so many of you think the League Cup doesn't matter. Even without crowds, it's revenue, a chance to play a top team, get more game time etc.

So instead it's another terrible performance, no goals yet again, defence resembling a jelly.

Steve Gibson must be thinking 'here we go again.' I think the fans need some encouragement and some indication that the players are trying.

You'd get very long odds on anything but a defeat at the weekend. If it's a heavy defeat you wonder what the effect on morale will be.

I do agree, however Steve Gibson is the PROBLEM - mistake after mistake, lack of investment for years. That bunch of idiots up the road are up in arms about how bad Ashley is - if you compare him to Gibbo he's an amazing owner.

Give them some service and of course they can score....Britt has scored 1 in 3 for us. Most of the time he's been played up front on his own isolated. Pretty good return if you ask me.....

Im not asking you.
If you think being the lowest scorers in the league is OK then fine.
Fletcher and Assombalonga are not good enough.
We paid too much and we are stuck with them.
No one is offering to buy them for anything like we paid for them or offer the lorry load of wages we chuck at them.
Because they are not consistently up to the mark.
Neil Warnock has said as much saying he needs two new strikers (!). I trust his judgement more than yours or mine(y);)

If you're happy watching that rubbish then fair play. Sadly I've had enough of that - season after season of absolute rubbish, not much to get excited about, it's embarrassing.

I didn't watch it....meaningless game, a run out for our reserves and players short of fitness and match practice. They haven't played together, stop whining (y)

Britt didn't play tonight Roofie, thought he played very well v Watford and was unlucky not to score. He'll be bang on it Satda, I'm pleased he was rested tbh.

I'm genuinely concerned Warnock has been misled by our dysfunctional owner and will walk mid-season leaving us in a total mess not of his making.

Yeah, me too. Maybe that's why Woodgate's still at the club! Scour the dressing room and come up with the best candidate standing by the lockers...

You should read posts in context Nobby.
Brit didnt play against Watford and his absence wasnt noticed tonight. [Irony Nobby]
Dont kid yourself hes up to the job.
Too much time being offside and slipping on his backside - having failed to hold on to the ball [again].

Just how long do these professional footballers have to play alongside each other to be a "team" which performs?

He was our best player v Watford.
When he's played upfront on his own he can't hold the ball up with his back to goal and gets dominated by big central defenders. He's too small to play that role, and I would never play him like that. He needs to play as a pair (which Warnock has quickly realised) to play to his strengths. His scoring record at this level is excellent and I expect him to notch v Bournemouth.
 
'Don't know why everyone's upset'?

This is a wind up surely? You're not concerned that we were beaten at home, and well beaten by Barnsley? And that we conceded three against Shrewsbury?

And that we have no creativity in this squad. Bizarre.

Get it in perspective... FFS
It's the Bournemouth game that counts, this game means nothing (y)

Looking forward to your spin after Bournemouth Nobby. Our 1st 11 is good enough to finish around 12th at best as the squad stands. I think Warnock
is putting a brave face on recruitment, a bit like Pulis had to do too tbf to him. Gibson won't spend like he used to. Its his club his choice, but do not take fans for granted. The cuts and his new personal life seem to mirror each other..... just saying like. He can and will do whats best for him. I would too in his shoes tbf. Promotion is a far off land and covid rules apply to attempts to visit it. We are in self isolation

Simply ridiculous. You're saying that the team tonight, most of which haven't played a competitive game for ages. Some have been out on loan at different clubs and others making their debut should have played the game like well oiled machine. They all know each other's game instantly hahaha
