* The Unofficial "Official" Boro v Bristol City Match-Day Thread *

[DonTheKing]

That isn't being a realist. That's just being a miserable sod.

It is being a realist though. I bet you 100 quid right now that we won't even make the play offs.

 

[Ex Footy Legs]

We will not make the play offs playing like this. The wheels have certainly come off.

Time for carrick to start owning it instead of dressing up a shyte burnley performance he needs to be more real

 

[dribble]

Team imploding, teams just switching play and we are too slow to respond. Targeting Smith and Giles.

 

[BiggEggo]

This is like watching Wilder Boro again. Players all look totally clueless.

 

[Rauko]

Defenders just bloody defend - what the he’ll was Giles doing? Too slow, too predictable- absolutely awful - some very dubious selections in McNair, Ramsey, Hackney, Crooks - - we look absolutely lost and have no idea how to quickly play through and past a pressing game

I've been making this point for a while - the slow passing, calm, non-urgent play is fine when a team sits in .. but when a team presses you HAVE to up your own tempo .. every game we've struggled in with MC has seen the oppo play the same way against us.

It's like the snails crawling out down my driveway when it rains.

 

[Alzi]

In games like this we desperately need someone to win the ball and we don’t just have that player in our squad never mind team, the powder puff midfield is coming home to roost once the confidence evaporates

We are certainly missing a Clayton type.

 

[Badonde]

Get Djksteele on.
Anyone has to be better than McNair at the moment.
Surely Archer has to come on for Crooks?

 

[TheBoroBuzzard]

Tempted to turn over and watch ‘The Chase’ on ITV…#Sickasaparrot

 

[northriding]

Would be nice to see a response like we saw from Blackburn earlier. C'mon lads!

 

[Teesside87]

Turned it off. Absolutely dreadful. How many times is Smith caught out at the back

 

[futureboy]

Reckon we're going to have any more shots on goal today?

 

[parmoboy]

Gerrin.

 

[uncle_rico]

Get in!

 

[Chris_Boro]

Get in!

 

[TheYorkshireTerrier]

Get in!!!! Come on.

 

[Chappy112]

COME ON

 

[northriding]

Ramsay, get in!

 

[NormanbyRed77]

2-1 come on you b***ds

It is being a realist though. I bet you 100 quid right now that we won't even make the play offs.

It isn't. It's being a miserable git. And no I won't bet you £100. There's nothing realist in expecting a team that has been flying in recent weeks to lose before a ball is kicked.
