Literally have to laugh otherwise you'd cry. The whole club is inept. Top to bottom

I'm extremely underwhelmed by the guy but I really don't think it would change much. Just like sacking Cooper didn't. Or RVN.

 

We have to make changes that have clearly been needed for years at board level and find a way to shift toxic players who haven't wanted to be here for years out.

 

It's a zombie football club, and swapping managers again isn't going to solve the problem.

We having fun yet? 
 

 

[Bezzanator89]

Barely deserved the draw. Utterly painful to watch and all that controversial penalty did was paper over those ginormous cracks. Terrible performance.

[ozvaldo]

Lovely night out.  We went well-equipped with flasks, sandwiches, anoraks and blankets. 
Managed to wave at Ricardo as he warmed up. 
Got a hug off Filbert. 

Really enjoyed the night and the performance. 

[Swarles Barkley]

Didn’t celebrate our goal.
Wasn’t surprised and actually laughed when we conceded. 
Ive stopped caring. 
 

thank you Aiyawatt and co

[filbertway]

This is what some lunatics are calling a good performance

Where did he get an extra 30 seconds from?

 

Even so we have to see that one out. Appalling game management in stoppage time.

because they hadn't scored. Ref realised he got the penalty wrong so was working to even it up

Poor performance.

Good point.

Some fans have been lying to themselves about what they’ve been seeing all season. Especially at the start.

 

We are now rapidly getting worse every game. 

[GorlestonFox]

Everyone here wrote us off.

 

We got a point 

[-sodapop]

This must be the first time in well over a decade that all three of Coventry, Derby and Forest were above us in the league. 

[fox_up_north]

It was the pass to Ayew with the free kick after the red that I knew. He had a chance to cross or move but just allowed himself to get swarmed. Saw it coming.

Sh1t result from a sh1t game shared between two sh1t teams.

A point maybe… but we were absolute garbage. The only positive thing was we managed to not lose…

Are you sure?

 

The last 3 managers have been exactly the same in terms of formations, 'tactics' and players picked.

 

I'm not even convinced they pick the players.

[beepee1984]

37% possession

26% of Shots

Passing accuracy 74% (Middlesboro 86%)

6 Yellow cards

0.62 xG (non penalty)

 

The stats read really poor about tonights match - and we were the home side

 

And just to prove how much we tried to hold on

 

2nd Half only

 

35% possession

14% shots

69% Passing Accuracy

0.03 xG

 

Don't think a point today excuses the poor display we put on (although defensively we did play better than recently)

A point that was more or less handed to us. We were awful. Look at the stats. Middlesbrough should have comfortably won that game. 

[Steve Earle]

On the plus side, Nelson was excellent and showed why he should have started the season in the first eleven. He stays in now.

 

Okoli Vestegaard & Ayew were decent. 
 

 

[Bert]

Defended well enough for 95 minutes but absolutely toothless in attack. We needed what was looking like going to be a shitty win like that, but the ref had other ideas. Really poor to not see that out against 10 men. Shit to not stop that cross and shit from Begovic. Got himself in no man’s land. 
 

Playing James in the 10 is really killing him I think, we need him next to Winks. Skipp is worse than Soumare. Offers absolutely nothing. Literally just runs around jockeying. Wouldn’t surprise me if he has the least amount of touches for us tonight.
