Properly ran out of steam

Big thing for me is we dont appear to have a plan B, like under wilder teams have worked out how to play against us and carrick doesnt have an answer at the moment and hasnt seemed to learn from any of the defeats that weve taken even though we responded to each defeat, one after the other has been the same manner or progressively worse without a Boro response
 
Yep. Looks like we’ve decided we don’t want promotion now. The last 3 games have been awful, it’s like they’ve just stopped playing. Business end of the season. Where is the bottle? How can we have gone from where we were to this. We are a good side and have just lost our way the past few games
 
We go back to the keeper far to much again and ramsey keeps losing the ball all the time been really poor yet again

True. And besides the proximity to the Premier League and the potential Scrooge McDuck money vault it represents makes it hard for me to believe players in the championship ever have nothing to play for. If your team isn't getting promoted you can still play yourself in to a transfer.

Can't agree with this sentiment, even if I'd seen it 40 mins ago when we were 2 nil down. Our defending is sloppy. The other teams aren't doing anything clever to score against us. And you can't say teams know how to play against us when we're still usually good value for 2 or 3 goals ourselves.

Just my opinion, yes we have had great results and am not taking that away from the team what worries me is the defeats and manner in which we are concedeing.

On a positive we showed spirit today when it was needed but still looked suspect to a counter attack.

I would also really like to start seeing us have a positive effect from set pieces we have plenty in every game and very rarely create a chance

"We've decided we don't want promotion? Where is the bottle?"
Are you genuinely for real? A couple of bad results after our best run and football in years and people come out with pathetic horse**** like this..
We have no divine right to win every game, there is another team doing absolutely everything they can to win. It's nothing to do with not wanting to win or lacking bottle.
They proved tonight after going 2 nil down they don't lack character and desire!
 
We massively miss Fry, Mcnair is not an out and out defender like Dael, he doesn't sense danger. Also the Hackney/Howson partnership is not as brilliant at the moment as it has been so we are missing a lot of the screen in front of the back 4. This is allowing sides more time to hit those diagonal ball behind out full backs.

We still look like scoring pretty much every time we go forward. It's better to have a bit of a blip now than once we hit the playoffs.

What a load of tosh. Dip in form yes But “don’t want promotion?” “Stopped playing” “ no bottle”. Seriously did you not see the part where we came back from 2-0 on a ground where WBA Luton and Norwich have lost?
