Having a keeper with diving boots on.....

and
B:- When he hoofs the ball up the field.

Certainly agree with the keeper and goal scorer. Two top transfer priorities this summer.When we have had zero depth for the majority of the season, it was always going to catch up with us, I’d say that’s the main reason.
Key positions very lacking, as a minimum you need a solid keeper and a goal scorer to do anything, we have neither. Again that catches up with you eventually especially when a few key players start to get injuries
Can't always be the 'usual' ,I don't buy that, it's like saying 'same old Boro' - there's no logic to it. Every year it's a different team therefore can't be the 'usual'.It’s the usual second half of the season slump, it’s always the same, other teams sus us out and know how we are going to play.
We don’t have a plan B so we carry on with plan A regardless, the plan being hoof it up the pitch and hope someone gets on the end of it.
Weird isn’t it? Even in our promotion season we struggled in the second half of the season. I think opposing teams work out how to play against us, once we’ve played them once, our tactics aren’t particularly sophisticated and haven’t been for a long while.Can't always be the 'usual' ,I don't buy that, it's like saying 'same old Boro' - there's no logic to it.

no.. it's not time yet.I think it's time to accept the season is over in terms of optimism for play-off hopes .. injuries defo unfortunate timing but can't explain how much performances of certain players have suddenly dipped significantly. Also giving still Britt the captaincy when it should be given to Howson or McNair is irritating/doesn't make sense. He's offered nothing and he'll be gone soon anyway. Badly need to sort out our striker situation for once and a better goalkeeper is needed also.
Had no idea until just now that Bolasie was knackered and not going to be making many appearances for us until the last few remaining games .. if there's any point. We're just playing for mid-table mediocrity now. As I said it's still an improvement on last season, but I hope nothing has happened behind the scenes which has affected the squad's enthusiasm and the general positive vibes we were getting for much of the first half of the season.
No idea how we will address this in the Summer. Likes of Kabano are likely to be recalled too if Fulham come down. Still a lot of problems to think about, to say the least. Britt going, so wages off the books but replacing him with someone who actually scores goals .. I can't say I trust the club to identify the right man for the job.
I do wonder if NW will stay on or not. Thinking ahead and knowing what he is going to be able to do throughout the next pre-season, I worry he might think he's done as much as he can and be gone. I dread to think who we'll pick as a replacement if that were the case haha.
We're still a club that is going to struggle to attract the best out there available for the job at this level IMO. That includes players. We either constantly miss out or they decide to choose other clubs after speaking to us and we generally have been useless in the transfer market and I expect that will continue to be the case.
Sorry for all the doom and gloom! But I honestly expected there'd be a bit more of a challenge worthy of Warnock to hang around for so he'd defo be hanging around next season to get the job done. I really thought we'd finish 7th/8th and fall short by a point or two for a top-six position but certainly not now. At moment it feels like all that hope is disappearing and I have no idea why.
I knew we'd lose today. Shame I got a few other results wrong on my accas, mind. haha.
We shouldn't have lost to Derby, and then the Rotherham result, Birmingham etc .. it's been a totally different side. Very unfortunate to see that it's gone off the rails.
So aye. Definite bad vibes coming out of the club now all of a sudden. Maybe just me but it's sad to see. I thought we'd done well in the January window and after Norwich away, I was getting ready for more to come, a run due of wins we badly needed ... but it's got worse week after week so far.
Bolasie was the most significant signing we were hoping would help solve our issues up top. but he's written off already for most of the games left. Infuriating.
It'd be nice to see the club finally making the right decisions for once. An actual goalscorer and decent goalkeeper would be a decent start.
Admire your optimism and hope you're right .. but I can't see it at all. Not now. Something's off .. big shame!no.. it's not time yet.
