[Unthink road 132]

Stop the rot. End of season, Webber and Wagner out. Thanks for two great seasons Webber, but just go. It's just not working anymore. This will get nasty if they keep him employed. So sad.

We all know. Have we conceded 4 in any games this season with Hanley at the back? And we've played teams in better form than Boro with him.

Well, that was under the assumption Sorensen could play CB.

There's no both ways, just the simple fact we are worse without Hanley Gibson and Mclean

Just because Sorenson is worse it doesn't make Hanley good.

Poor first half. 45 minutes to put it right. Lets see what reaction the players have in the second half. 

Oh Lakey there are times when it is best to say nothing and this is right up there.

Two clean sheets without him had nothing to do with his absence.

Conceding four without is all about his absence.

You're right, I don't like to admit that.

Depends, unless the 10 clean sheets we've also had this season with Hanley are now nothing to do with him?

Yep, this is what happens when you face a team in form and the spine of your team is missing. Could have had a great start, missed presentable chances, and their clinical finishing has put us to the sword.

Game over for this season now.

But Middlesbrough weren't in form. They were out of form and then along came...

We had a bright start to the game, we could build on that. 

[keelansgrandad 6,679]

We have a midfield of Gibbs and Sara trying to cope. We have two wingers, one of which, should not be on the pitch when we have our own on the bench who could be better. So we are losing the game in the midfield.

Yes the defending is shambolic but when you have to rely on Sara trying to clear the ball, you are in trouble.

The club is going backwards like siht off a shovel. The SD must take his share of responsibility. He appointed a coach who is picking ridiculous lineups like Smith. What was it about playing 5 in midfield and winning that Wagner wasn't happy with?

Give me strength, we have to get this sorted. We cannot just accept we are having a bad time. Its endemic in the club.

[Hank shoots Skyler 2,094]

The thing is Boro haven’t even really been THAT much on top or impressive. We’ve probably had just as many chances as they have. I’ve noticed that for some reason their defence seems to be actively trying to prevent us from scoring, whereas our defence appears to be offering the ball a cosy little spot right at the back of the net. I think in future we should try to do what Boro are doing.

Again hurt by the fact the imbecile Webber has left us a centre back short for half a season

Pass me that for a puff Lakey, we will probably keep them down to just the 5, this squad has absolutely no heart, passion or fight. They are literally not fit to wear our shirt.

Perfectly sums up what has been wrong with this squad for a long long time.

[Christoph Stiepermann 1,157]

I could write an essay on everything wrong with tonight and most games this season. I'm too deflated though. Weak, timid, slow, one-paced, one-dimensional rubbish. Can we be first to one second ball please? Or maybe win one v one challenge? You can run with the ball and take players on you know and there's such a thing as playing final balls into feet, oh, and that big, tall wide, thing with the net around it? That's the goal, aim for that! Without the ball, watch Boro players, they run, they don't jog and they do it in numbers, maybe try that once in a bloody while.

These are basic fundamentals. Not the intrinsic small details of a defined and highly technical playing philosophy,  just plain basics that every professional footballer should be aware of and able to impliment.

Yes the stats with 5 in midfield are telling. Promotion form.

It does when the argument this season has been dropping Hanley to "see how we would look" and both his potential replacements have looked awful in their first game against a decent side having a go.

Not really, whilst they only had one point in their last nine one defeat was a close one to Burnley, and they'd won three of the previous four before that. They were hardly out of form.

[cambridgeshire canary 6,874]

I would say changes needed at half time but then you look at the bench..

Well Sorenson isn't a CB so that's hardly surprising. Poor lad gets put everywhere and anywhere; don't think he's ever going to get a proper run at DM.

Sh#t. And they've scored 4 already. I wish we were that poor. Fxck me were done.
