* The Original Unofficial "Official" Boro v West Brom. Match-Day Thread *

[r00fie1]

We would have taken our current position when Carrick was appointed.

Some people have short memories.
UTMB.
We go again

 

[Teesste]

That’s 2nd gone

Yeah it a mathematical impossibility now.

Sheffield Utd have lots of easy teams to play and will win the rest of their games all because we lost today.

 

[Chappy112]

That’s 2nd gone

Yeah I think so too. Let's get back on a winning run and secure our playoff spot.

 

[Glover_elbow]

I think we can only afford 1 defeat if we are to get second and we've had it today. The frustration is we gifted them the game and they gratefully sat back and took it. Pathetic to get bullied by a player who must be 16 or 17 stone

 

[Diego]

Bad day at the office. We move on, bring on next weekend

 

[BoroMart]

Rubbish. Not hurt them in any way whatsoever. Pointless possession. Their keeper has only made one save all day.

I think that’s down to them having an excellent defensive performance rather than us being poor.

 

[Yearbyred]

Disappointed in the second half performance really. Never caused them any issues at all at the back.

Fair play to West Brom, very well organised and deserved their win.

Plenty of twists and turns yet.

Irony is lost on some

 

[Teesste]

All week we’ve said this is a tough game and it was.

West Brom were well drilled and kept us at arms length for most of the game.

Reading will get a hiding off us next week now.

 

[indeedido]

A really bad day.
Not the end of the world, but sadly might well be the end of automatic promotion.
Disappointing in terms of having loads of possession but not laying a glove on them.
Corberan has done a job on us.

Yes second half wasn’t good but they just kept 10 behind the ball and didn’t do anything stupid

 

[Glover_elbow]

Corberán has done a Karanka on us for the second time in twelve months.

Strangled

What do you expect when we gifted them 2 goals

 

[bumface]

Were some people expecting us to win every game between now and the end of the season? Disappointing result but it's hardly the end of the world.

 

[ThePrisoner]

I think that’s down to them having an excellent defensive performance rather than us being poor.

Yes. So we should have changed what we were doing. But we didn't/couldn't.

 

[TeaCider]

 

[Fattyfoggon]

it is cool a bit disappointing obviously but I reckon that was our hardest game left out of the way now, and we bounced back after Sunderland with 5 wins on the bounce so same again please !

 

[Alwaysaborolad]

Ah well, bad first 10 mins cost us... we will bounce back next week

 

[Hap]

Well, it's a setback. But we're still in the mix with games to play.

They defended really well. Two soft goals.

 

[BoroMart]

Need to bounce back from this, a whole week to prepare for Reading and then another week to prepare for Swansea away. Lots of time to shake it off and come out flying. Sheff United away to Blackburn next week, so good opportunity to pull points back on them.

 

[Teesste]

Still 3rd on merit with a far superior GD to those below us.

I reckon we’re just lulling Sheffield Utd into a false sense of security then will pull their pants down when they least expect it.
