The Official FMTTM "Warnock is King" - Boro v Brum - Match Thread. Come on Boro!

What’s the point in keeping Roberts, if Coulson is now ahead of him what chance does he have. What a waste of a great player

He was awful against Brentford.
Warnock hasn't given him much of a look in, which is very questionable, but he absolutely did not take the chance when it was given last week.
 
Birmingham did a cracking job on us, they were far better in the 1st half & deserved their HT lead with a well executed goal
We missed a chance early in the 2nd half & TBH it was the only thing that Saville done the whole game, after that we huyfed & puffed but the subs didn't make any difference as Birmingham just sat back & soaked up pressure, we didn't deserve anything

Our lack of weeks training certainly played a part in the 1st half but we were awful throughout
 
Bettinelli. Nothing to do apart from punt the ball and concede a goal.

Dijksteel always struggles against Bella.

Fry, didn’t look right today.

McNair pretty average.

Bola our best player from players who started the game.

Morsy, dreadful. Looks unfit. Fouls for fun.

Wing. Please go back to Shildon you fraud of a man.

Saville. Utterly anonymous. Can’t see what he brought to the game today.

Tav. Poor first half, decent ball to Watmore and should of stayed on instead of Saville.

Akpom - Didn’t do anything first half.

Johnson - worst he’s played this season.

Subs -

Britt, will you please just **** off?

Howson - our best player by a mile. Just a proper footballer.

Spence, didn’t get involved. Looks better at right back.

Watmore- looked to get in behind. Has to start next game.

Coulson, just not good enough really but he showed 1 or 2 nice touches.
 
Tav has to play centrally from now on imo. Every time we try to play with him as one of the widemen it seems to backfire.

Hopefully Watmores ready to start games soon.

Spence too passive to play in defence or attack imo.

Let Wing have a go up front. Best finisher at the club. ;)
 
Pleased Friend was named Man of the Match, in a way, as he was a great asset to us for about 6 of his 8 years with us. He put every bit of his skill and resilience into that Riverside performance, but he was breathing through his árse after 80 minutes. I don't think he could perform like that week-in week-out, especially when there are two games per week. Anyway, well done George, you deserved it.

Edit: Did Warnock say, before the game, that the preparation for today had been poor because of the outside training pitches being snow covered and that there were after affects of the Covid bug which had swept through the team?

I wonder how much we are paying towards Roberts wages to have him sat on the bench
Do all 3 parties have to agree to him being sent back to City?
Warnock has said he's free to leave if he wants to, hasn't he?
 
We're worryingly relying on Whatmore and Tav to basically do it by themselves.

I can only hope that Neil is having a not so quiet word with them. Can't see him wanting to stick around a side that doesn't seem to be able to put that extra bit of effort required in.

For now we blame covid but if it continues to Brentford then we need to reasses.

Saved me a long post.
That was absolutely diabolical; indefensible really.
I know they are limited technically, but they looked like they didn't have a clue AND didn't give a ****.
 
If nothing else, we are consistent at getting ourselves in a great position to leapfrog in to the top 6 then blow it, so I've no doubt we'll be in the mix from now till the end of the season
