Middlesbrough (H) 1-2 - Post-Match Thread

[TMELcfc]

Can’t see us beating Leeds. Be surprised if it doesn’t really bunch up now at the top. 
 

Never ever job done with Leicester, next 4 weeks are huge 

[weller54]

No need to panic!.

But, fvck it..

I'm going to!!!

On the plus side I thought Cannon looked very good on the left wing…square pegs Enzo 

[Paninistickers]

Thought Middlesbrough were outstanding. 

 

They liked pumped from the off to challenge themselves individually and all of them committed to their tactical plan.

I mean they absolutely were, given that happened and was the difference in the end. 

We were relying on boro not scoring their from their two 2on1 breakaway situations to not lose 4-1. Teams score from those situations 99 times out of 100.

Likewise the numbers of gifts we’ve given away and teams haven’t scored from because of the terrible standard in this league means we’re reliant on poor finishing to not be in the bottom half.

Boro were the better team and deserved the win.

[Gevans_97]

Not clinical enough today, and got caught out a few times. It happens in football. Brighton did the double over us when we went up in 13/14. It happens. All is forgiven come Friday night when we wollop Leeds

[Raj]

Beaten by a better team on the day.

No one came out with much credit for us, most had a very bad day at the office.

Wake up call.

Let's see what we are made of in the run in.

Are we mentally strong enough or are we bottlers?

Let's see...

[Big Dave]

Certainly not the worst performance of the season. Any other day we would have beaten them. We have played worse and lost.

 

We were due a loss. Would much rather lose to Boro than Leeds.

[Blueman1967]

Boro fans chanting top of the league, you having a laugh, yes we have been laughing most of the season

[phoneticerror]

It was well within our grasp, but we needed Vardy and Albrighton on sooner. There was no point pissing about trying to get into the box by passing so much. We took too long and always gave them an opportunity to get back and defend. We needed to either blast it from outside or get Marc to swing a ball in to Jamie for a header.

 

Anyway, no point crying over spilt milk. A shite team have done the double on us. It’s happened. But we’ll go up, and they’ll stay in this crappy league for a long time. Let them have their moment.

Well done Leicester we won the possession stats again 71%.

Chances are we’ll lose both. Still win the league mate

Really worrying that we’re still relying on a 38 year old for goals and still looking like our best option in a forward position. 

Who?

[Blanchflower78]

Plan B is Plan A but with different personnel. Could come to bite us quite often that, particularly if/when we go up.

[Blueman1967]

Lets not be on the Championship highlights as main game again , twice now, lost both times.

[Sly]

On another day, we win that. 
 

It’s just a bad day at the office. We all have them and that’s life. 

[STEVIE B]

We really are, in general, a weird fanbase when we lose.

Not sure about that, beaten by missing 4 or 5 absolute sitters and sloppy passing rather then Middlesborough being particularly great

He needs to play cannon more, such a threat.
