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

[Glover_elbow]

Not the game for Ramsey would much prefer crooks on

 

[dribble]

Happens too often against the better teams in the league, powder puff when not in possession.

Howson offers nothing going forward, never shoots and is sluggish

 

[Smoginexile]

The difference for me is that we have a team that is capable of turning this around.
Gone are the days of Tony Pulis putting every man behind the ball with instructions to fight tooth and nail to cling on to a 2-0 defeat.
There was enough in that first have to make me think the lads can do it.
Come on boro.

Completely disagree. We’ve been fantastic for a long period of games, midfield especially - first 10 killed us, but as it stands it’s 5 points with some easier games to come.

The key point is when not in possession

We are tidy in midfield with the ball but completely absent without it

 

[BoroPhil]

Sheff Utd 1 up. A defeat here was ok with them only drawing but that's a bit of a sucker punch.

 

[Jonathan]

Less than ideal results for us across the board today. Hate how narrow the gap is between us and like 8th.

Means Watford don't gain ground on us, at least.

Still a Long way to go


It’s a bad week nothing more.

Agree totally.

 

[breakthewallsdown]

Id prefer to go up via play offs anyway

 

[futureboy]

Is anyone going to shoot???

If 4 of the 4th to 8th teams get more points than us between now and the end of the season I will be truly astonished

Tidy? We dominate midfield regularly, it’s a bad result all teams have them. Sheff United now have a horrendous run of games where I’d back them to lose at least 2 of them.

 

[Raul]

Smith and Howson have been terrible!

 

[Chappy112]

I don't understand why Barlaser isn't on? We clearly can't break them down the way we usually would, we need someone with quality from deep.

I think it’s about the long game now.

 

[TeaCider]

Wasn't upset by our first half performance, I thought we were decent, but we've done absolutely nothing in this second half.

A big shame, but hopefully only a bump in the road.

 

[r00fie1]

We`l learn from this.
4 defeats since October 29th and we`re in 3rd spot - having been 21st just before Bonfire night 2022.
Perspective.
Big picture.

 

[xxlshirts_fit_all]

Bad day at the office.. crazy 2 mins in the first half and we’ve just not got into it…

Dust our selves off and back at it next week…

 

[BoroMart]

I didn’t say we’d been awful, I said that half was awful. And it was.

Jesus, can’t say anything on this board can you?

You can say what you want it can be challenged though.

I don’t agree it was awful, we made a couple of mistakes and didn’t make the most of getting the ball in good positions, but it was hardly awful. It’s not like they battered us, they didn’t
