Bristol City vs Middlesbrough [21/02] Match-Day Thread

[Alzi]

I think the biggest problem this game was changing formation/ press/ style as loads of people were cying out for changes. Should have kept 4-2-3-1 with a similar teamsheet or no play ian nacho.

Pandered to calls to tighten up the defense, by playing defensive and compact, but it made us miles worse.

I get why he tried to change it, but even first half could see this was coming.

No excuse for not making subs when Ian Nacho was done after 60 mins though.

I think Ian Nacho was done in about 2023

If he is sacked tonight is he allowed on the coach back.

he'll be going back to Cheshire

 

[newyddion]

Happy to see Forss on

 

[Smoginexile]

Nowhere near good enough

 

[futureboy]

Hackney and Morris have flattered to deceive once again.

 

[Colgates_shaving_foam]

Carrick's head has gone. He's unable to think and is in pure and utter panic mode.

He's like one of those pilots who thinks they are gaining altitude as their plane slams into the ocean.

Please gibbo just put him, and us, out of this misery.

 

[Teesste]

I’ve backed him fully so far but he’s shot himself massively in the foot tonight. Crying out for subs at 1-0 up and he hasn’t done it.

 

[paulscott]

Christ, this is hard to watch. What the hell has happened to the Boro that played West Brom off the park in the early part of the season? Incredible decline. I’m sure they do, but they look a bit apathetic.

 

[Boro.Fur]

Pandered to calls to tighten up the defense

Come on Andy, Carrick is as stubborn as they come. He's pandered to nobody, he's just clueless.

 

[Jimmy_the_hill]

Hackney has been really culpable in the middle 2nd half

Hackney is Lewis Wing Mk2

 

[madlad7773]

Forss and azaz should have been on at 1-0 for burgzorg and Ian nacho...not when we're fkin 2-1 down.

 

[go-nads!]

He doesn't know how to manage a squad and he is incapable of changing the flow of a game. Forss two minutes, what's the F***ing point?

**** off Carrick and take village with you.

Genuinely think this could be it for Carrick. Up to just 3-4 weeks go I thought it was just see season out and by not getting in play offs he would go anyway but it has to be now. I really wanted Carrick to succeed and wa a fan for a long time but I’m afraid his time is over. He looks lost, broken and just wants a way out

His team selection v Watford was like a resignation letter.

Lack of subs tonight is another.

Once the manager loses faith in his way of playing he's done for and that's what's happened.

Think he just needs putting out of his misery now.

Been a poor half from him

Yeah he was done 5 years ago, I was being kind.

 

[BiggEggo]

Absolutely battered by an average side

Battered by a better side, having been given a goal start.

 

[dribble]

Carrick doing his impression of a traffic cone , stood motionless.

 

[northriding]

They've hammered us on the flanks all game. Inexcusable that nothing was done to address the threat.

I'm sick and tired of this dross.

Christ, this is hard to watch. What the hell has happened to the Boro that played West Brom off the park in the early part of the season? Incredible decline. I’m sure they do, but they look a bit apathetic.

Mentally we are p*ss weak.

Been a poor half from him

Really struggled without the triangles and nothing ahead of him to pass to. His best attribute is moving it forward quickly.
