The Bunny 314 Posted March 6 Mark Drury BBC Tees commentator Boro for the first time since the turn of the year have three points at the Riverside. Norwich will be absolutely furious still. Jonny Howson is still chatting a fair amount with his former Norwich teammates, and we all know what that is about. If it were our team we would be furious with that sending off. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thought he was too good for us by bailing out to Middlesbrough whilst in the seasons that followed watched us get promoted twice, whilst he's been nowhere near it. There's a reason why he hasnt kicked a ball in the Premier League since leaving us. Lets see what 'reception' he gets if he shows his face at carrow rd again. although he may well have hung his boots up before that comes round and he can reflect upon his career realising he peaked at Norwich yet was still relegated with us twice 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BroadstairsR 2,205 Posted March 7 8 hours ago, ron obvious said: Both 'boro commentators (who were very fair throughout) agreed that it wasn't anything like a red card, even after several replay viewings. But our capitulation was shocking. I firmly believe it's to do with the way Gibson & Hanley play - it's great when they can slowly walk the ball out from defence, but they are sooo pooonderous that they get turned too easily by any sort of overload from midfield. I'm not saying they're solely to blame, but they're a large factor. One tiny, tiny plus from tonight was Sid's performance, notably his link up play & eye for a pass was encouraging. There may yet be a useful player in there after all. I think this was down to the substitutions, yet again. Most managers would have brought a defensive player on (Sorensen) and taken a forward off (Barnes) and I immediately thought it was the obvious thing to do. Then again, I'm not the master tactician that Wagner is. Saintz has almost certainly cost us valuable points, but over the season so far substitutions have, imo, cost us more. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim Smith 2,339 Posted March 7 On a different note more evidence for me of how severely limited Wagner is as a coach last night with our reaction to the red card. The players also have to take some blame for their pathetic defending (no surprise since none of them are capable of actually defending properly so we can’t play on the back foot) but it was very, very clear that they didn’t have a clue how to play as ten men and make it hard for the opposition, w still had a lead to defend. We surrendered it immediately and then let them stroll to victory, Wagner changed nothing except move the wrong striker onto the wing. Very poor. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sainz had also already been spoken to about a bit of afters too. However it’s viewed and from whichever side, it is VERY VERY soft and maybe reputation has cost him? 🤷🏻♂️ Our players reactions were apparently that Howson should be given a red, and then horror when the ref advised he was sending Sainz off.

Clear to me that it was an honest 50:50 but Howson feared he was for the red card and after a few seconds thought decided to go for the Oscar. Whatever the decision, Red, yellow or nought, they should each have received the same. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Capt. Pants 4,277 Posted March 7 The Hanley/Gibbo combination never inspires me with confidence. Hanley's injury will likely put pay to that, but for two experienced defenders they aren't half hopeless together. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We surrendered it immediately and then let them stroll to victory, Wagner changed nothing except move the wrong striker onto the wing. Very poor. I have to say if you think Wagner changed nothing then you have absolutely no right to comment on tactics. We went very narrow, low-block 4-4-1 and didn't counter-press until in our third. That was a huge change from how we started the game. We went from making the pitch big to being as narrow as possible - the intention obviously was to limit Boro centrally and deal with crosses which are typically the easiest type of defending to do, especially with the profile of CB we have. That we defended so poorly for the goals is individual rather than tactics, in that instance. That 15 minutes cost us the game and where I'm most disappointed with Wagner is our inability to get anything going second half. But then our Sporting Director sold our fit, relatively pacey and physical striker who scores goals from the bench for a player who's never played in this league and looks unfit, slow, causes defenders very little problems and starts blowing after 8 minutes. 32 minutes ago, king canary said: I think Gibson gets some unfair stick at times but I want us to go back to Duffy and McLean. I think we need Duffy to be fit for that. Saying that, he's fit enough to spend a good portion of his time in our local pubs. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
It's Character Forming 1,166 Posted March 7 Haven't posted yet as I was so annoyed last night. It was revealing watching on the sky red button that initially the commentator thought it was a Boro player getting sent off. Clueless referee, but Sainz gave him the opening by a stupid action, and Howson is contemptible for deliberately getting another pro sent off. Come the end of the season it's quite possible those 3 points will make all the difference, I'm so frustrated and angry. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Whatever the decision, Red, yellow or nought, they should each have received the same. Hence why I can’t see us winning an appeal, now I have seen the original tackle, it was not good, he was not in control. Should have maybe been 2 reds. Like somebody else has said on the SKY commentary the commentatator announced Howson had been sent off. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
