Not a popular opinion but Assombalonga played well today. Hit the target with his chances and made the keeper work. I would start him again for the next game.

He didn't play well. He gave the keeper a chancer to save 2 sitters
The problem is Akpom is just anonymous, so we either stick with Britt or maybe play Bolasie or Watmore there next week

Let's be honest here TC if Assombalonga is a crap as people are saying we must have someone in the academy who is less crap. Or... Maybe he isn't as crap as you think.
 
Fair to say that if Brentford had our chances they'd have scored about 7 goals.

Better team than us, simple as that.

We need to turn our horrendous home form around asap.

No Saville wasn't unlucky, he was terrible.
Assombolonga didn't race around doing anything - he never does.
Bolasie was quality - as I have posted since the match on a number of threads. He was encouraging.

I responded to your nonsense post, did so again to clarify and am doing so again.
It is not an "agenda" to call out players who missed simple chances yet again and who played badly yet again.

Opinions are like r-soles, everyone has one and thinks everybody else's stink!
 
Akpom doesn’t get within 10 yards of the goal to miss sitters. Wasting 3 million on him when money is as tight as it is is more of a waste than the 15 million spent on Britt when we were burning money IMHO.

The less said about the 8 million spent (or a straight swap for bamford if you like) on saville the better
 
Saville was still angry about missing the sitter in the first half through a bad contact with the ball that he overcompensated and tried to break the net with his second sitter when a simple side foot finish along the floor was all that was needed. We still deserved to lose but 4-3 would have made it respectable.
 
I think they deserved the win but 4-1 scoreline was harsh on us.

we really need to be more clinical in front of goal.

Maybe, maybe not, wasting 15mill on Britt when we already had Bamford but didn't have any quality creative players seemed stupid at the time and obscene now,
 
When we signed Britt everyone was delighted. Bamford had just spent two years on the bench and the majority of people had written him off. Signing Britt was a hugely popular move at the time.

Kind of true I guess... but we all thought he was going to be good. Knowing what we know now, we'd all have been gutted.

I liked Pat Cuff, he made his Boro debut on my man's birthday, tueaday 9th April1974
I once told Pat Cuff at a 1973-74 former players reunion that when he made his debut v Bolton the Boro were going for a club record of 10 consecutive wins ' failed with a 0-0 draw, he replied, well I guess it was my fault we never made a new record 🙄😁

not everyone, I was confused and underwhelmed. I was also feeling that Bamford was being under used, I mean 2 years earlier he had been championship player of the year, if managed properly he could tear this division apart.
 
Well I’ve just watched the short highlights and not sure why anyone is blaming Betsy this week. Shocking miss from Savile, britt unlucky you’d say.

Spot on, some of us knew how talented Bamford is, it wasn't hard to see.
