You're a troll and don't actually go to matches, that much is obvious...He's been crap all season so far. I'm perfectly calm.
Thanks

If Crooks hadn’t come on as a sub he wouldn’t have scored the winner, shockingAye and if me uncle had a vagina he would be my auntie
I think its to do with expectations. Our creative and attacking threats are a target for criticism it seems because some people expect them to rip through defences at will. If Adama had an off day boy did you hear about it. And the same with Jones who does not always come off. Thats the nature of football. Patience from fans would help.I’ve noticed over the years that a good proportion of our fans don’t particularly like creative players and prefer the steady system players.
Maybe going back a bit now but Juninho (played in a World Cup final for Brazil no less) had plenty of Riverside critics.
Adama almost single handedly got us into the play offs under Pulis but it still wasn’t good enough for plenty of Boro fans.
But Andy Peake, Adam Clayton, Paul Okon and a good few more….never a word said against them.
Not sure that's the case. I think fans expectations of creative players are far too high and their understanding of football low. On 3 or 4 occasions yesterday when Jones received the ball deep in our own half the lads behind us wanted him to take his man on and go on a run, complete lunacy.I’ve noticed over the years that a good proportion of our fans don’t particularly like creative players and prefer the steady system players.

Ha ha - alias Smith and Jones!I suppose it is about people’s expectations, for me, he did win us quite a few free kicks, he is obviously the player with most pace in the side, he does create chances, but he seems to have stopped taking on that final man and as someone else pointed out he sometimes waited for ball to feet rather than attacking the ball, meaning the pass was intercepted, so a mix of poor pass from the supplier and poor anticipation by Jones but overall you need him in the side as a starter.
