chrishlcfc Posted 25 May 2015 Posted 25 May 2015 Disappointing game after a bright start game was effectively over before it started though really, as soon as Norwich went 2 up early on you couldn't really see boro getting back into it.
Super_horns Posted 25 May 2015 Posted 25 May 2015 Wouldn't be surprised if Norwich did the best of us coming up.
Guest seanfox778 Posted 25 May 2015 Posted 25 May 2015 Turned out pretty dull after the bright opening. I feel like Middlesbrough could've gone for it more, they had nothing to lose at 0-2. Disappointing.
RowlattsFox Posted 25 May 2015 Posted 25 May 2015 Boro never been in the game, there has always seem to be more Norwich players. Good tactics by Neil. Boro should have gone up in the top two after beating Norwich in the league.
Carl the Llama Posted 25 May 2015 Posted 25 May 2015 Definitely say the best team on the night won, there's not that sense of neither team deserving anything like we had with last year's final.
Master Fox Posted 25 May 2015 Posted 25 May 2015 Norwich fans are nearly as embarrassing as Watford fans.
GeorgeTheFox Posted 25 May 2015 Posted 25 May 2015 Norwich fans are nearly as embarrassing as Watford fans.How?
Guest ttfn Posted 25 May 2015 Posted 25 May 2015 There's just nothing to like about Norwich getting promoted. They're coming back with the same bunch of players they went down with, but with added journeymen. I had no idea who Gary O'Neil played for any more but was not at all surprised to see him coming on for Norwich today. Watford and Bournemouth are adding something new to the league - we've not seen Bournemouth in the top flight before (ever?) and Watford haven't been in the Premier league since about 2006. Boro would have added something new too. Norwich won't. They were very impressive today though and as Super_Horns says I think they may be best equipped to stay up.
Super_horns Posted 25 May 2015 Posted 25 May 2015 How?Wearing yellow and waving flags / scarfs?Nicking songs from Palace?
foxfanazer Posted 25 May 2015 Posted 25 May 2015 Fair play to Norwich. Very professional performance and Boro just never turned up. Fancy us against all of the teams coming up. I expect Watford to be the best of the 3
foxfanazer Posted 25 May 2015 Posted 25 May 2015 Don't know why I'm feeling slightly jealous of Norwich right now? A playoff final win is the only thing missing from the last crazy 5 years or so. Obviously the way we went up was amazing
TOMBlcfc Posted 25 May 2015 Posted 25 May 2015 Would definitely rather the way we went up but the playoffs do provide excitement and magic. Hopefully we won't have to worry about it for a good number of years though!
GeorgeTheFox Posted 25 May 2015 Posted 25 May 2015 Wearing yellow and waving flags / scarfs? Nicking songs from Palace? Like none of our fans wear Blue/use clappers etc. And our songs are totally original. If other clubs do it then it's 'tinpot.' Who cares? They can do what they do and we can do what we do
Dan Posted 25 May 2015 Posted 25 May 2015 Sigh. That's an away I won't be doing unless the prices come down a bit.
Matt Posted 25 May 2015 Posted 25 May 2015 Middlesbrough looked as if they didn't want to win. Disgraceful the lack of attacking intent and the lack of men upfront, when your 2-0 down in a final you've got to go for it, you don't want to embarrass yourselves but you may aswell lose 3-0 trying to get back into the game rather than 2-0 and not even try. Especially in the last 20 minutes.
AKCJ Posted 25 May 2015 Posted 25 May 2015 Something about Delia really pisses me off. Why does she have to shriek whenever she talks? Do one.
marko Posted 25 May 2015 Posted 25 May 2015 Would have like 'Boro to come up, but they just never turned up. Looking forward to hearing Kingfox's précis of Bamford's performance.

Especially in the last 20 minutes. Agree, I couldn't believe the lack of urgency in their play, very robotic accurate sideways and backwards passes but lack of players committing themselves, making runs, overloading areas or trying to make something happen. Something Liverpool have been guilty of at times this season, more concerned with keeping shape than making progress up the pitch.
lcfcsnow Posted 25 May 2015 Posted 25 May 2015 Goals win games, the top 3 scorers in the championship promoted. Karanka seems a bit too safety first at the moment.
CosbehFox Posted 25 May 2015 Posted 25 May 2015 Would have like 'Boro to come up, but they just never turned up. Looking forward to hearing Kingfox's précis of Bamford's performance. Bamford clearly playing injured. Did not look comfortable all game.
cambridgefox Posted 25 May 2015 Posted 25 May 2015 Norwich is good for me. It's never the wife It's never the wife It's alway the livestock It's never the wife
NewburyFox Posted 25 May 2015 Posted 25 May 2015 Bamford clearly playing injured. Did not look comfortable all game. Yeah pretty much - you could see him grimacing at the end. Boro just didn't perform on the day - their usually solid defence gifted Norwich the first goal which put Norwich's tails up. The second went in and that was that. Lee Tomlin was the one who really disappointed me, he's responsible for much of their creativity and just hid all game. George Friend was by far their best performer and did very well considering he had no help attacking wise in front of him. I wouldn't mind him here. In other news, Matt Mills is signing for Forest
