[Alwaysaborolad]

Over 60 mins, playing awful and still no subs... Why??

Pzzin around at the back again!!!

It is the way we play to be fair and if barlaser just popped it back to rav it wouldn't of been an issue.

Simple things not communicating with each other.

We rely so much on Jonny Howson

Azaz Engel and Dijksteel would be on for Greenwood, Ayling and Thomes

Take of barlaser for mcnair and go 352 with Forss and Lath up top together

 

[jonny127127]

He needs to take off Ayling and Barlazer.

Azaz is going to need to be considerably better than he was last week.

 

[Jedi boro]

Do we even care anymore

Surely we’d see a spark but nope still all stoke

 

[xxlshirts_fit_all]

The co commentator on radio stoke is doing my nut in.. she is twisting about every decision we get and had a me.t down about their player getting booked for shi?housery…

 

[sadgit]

My masala chai is lovely, also made some curry popcorn. Are we still crap?

 

[NorthumberlandBoro]

Must be quite a few ticket holders not turned up.

Don't forget it's a 30k capacity now with the corner filled in.
So that's nearly 9k empty seats, and probably in more visible areas.

We haven’t got out of our half (second half) yet against a team low on confidence in the bottom 3.

 

[TeessideCleveland]

Has O'Brien successfully completed a pass to another Boro player yet? He seems to lose the ball every single time.

He was poor last week too

 

[BoroMad87]

But it’s the way we play, apparently.Ridiculous to keep giving team’s chances.

This is a question that needs to discussed with the manager, he tells them to play this way!

Hmm slight improvement with the subs but not really no.

 

[Alwaysaborolad]

Surely we won't be keeping any of our loan players for next season, they shouldn't be anywhere near the starting lineup.

 

[newusername]

Swansea in 15th are the highest placed team winning at the moment.

Didn't think it would last...

She sees things and hears things that aren't there .
Like the wall of noise from the half empty stadium .

He should never have to receive the ball in that position, it’s pathetic to make the pass when he’s obviously being closed down.

 

[WilliamMunny]

I mean we shouldn't be anywhere near it. Yet we are 'sleep walking' into the mix. We can't keep a clean sheet or score. That's not an ideal combination.

Still plenty of teams down near the bottom. Yet QPR / Millwall and Huddersfield have all picked up recently. I'd be amazed if this side has the bottle for a relegation battle.

I doubt we will go down. Yet not sure where you'd say 'that's 3 points'. Lose today and at QPR and it will be getting more 'squeeky' in the bum department.

We need 2 wins to stay up. We’re inconsistent and not playing well at the moment, but we’ll win at least 2 games before the end of the season. If we don’t/can’t, we deserve to go down.

 

[futureboy]

O'Brien is killing me. Just can't do the basics at all.

Kevin Thomson-esque.

 

[r00fie1]

22 minutes to go and we look no better.
