I'm gonna enjoy sticking it up yoos lot second half 2-1 Boro

On a positive note - Watmore's workrate has been incredible.

As always. Big fan of what he puts in. Looking forward to watching him live, he will thrive of the crowd. He’s that type of player.

For all the pedestrian pace of the game, Watford haven't been much better than us. Bot hteams look like they are planning the staycations already.

A goald from boro and we could easily go on and win it. The problem is..... We need a goal and it's difficult to see where it is coming from.

I am very dissappointed with the effort and endeavour from the red shirts.

i feel the difference is you can clearly see Watford have a few more gears. Unfortunately we are going through a rather long period of having a crap football team.

 

[bear66]

I particularly he liked his throw in straight to their player six yards from him in their half.

That's a Warnock tactic. Can't blame him for that.

 

[Jedi boro]

or does it even itself out.

Is this a joke we have been directly shafted by the officials in three games that I can think off, Swansea Norwich Blackburn and I can think of a few others that were questionable.

I can’t think of too many where we’ve had the luck.

We will be delighted if we win. Should try typing what you actually feel now and again instead of pretending be the new hopesoboro. Sad act

I was thinking earlier - have we had really bad luck this season or does it even itself out. I think a few bad decisions have gone against us and with those in our favour we would be in the play off mix.

it's a fallacy that 'it evens out'. Although it's fair to say that over a long enough period better teams have more good luck.

We are a poor team, but it's fair to say we've failed to really get ourselves into that play off mix through a series of repeated referee decisions.

People knock VAR, but we would still be nil-nil and possibly playing 10 men.

 

[TeaCider]

He has a languid style and looks lazy but he’s not
Only threat we have had - we need more players in the box when we get the ball in the wide positions
Bolasie and Fletcher need to come on as well as Johnson

He looks lazy because he is.
He's looked like one of the only threats because we're bafflingly playing a winger as the main striker and crossing to nobody in the box.

 

[kuepper]

forgot about the early KO, just looked at the stats, no shots from Boro.......

talking of stats what was that Bettinelli stat Sky flagged before KO, that he had made the 3rd least no of saves in the Championship?

 

[BoroMart]

On a positive note - Watmore's workrate has been incredible.

can't defend from the front on his own though. He'll be out of energy by 65mins

Nobby doing a great impression of a 12 year old I see...

Bless him, he’s learned where the fire emoji is

 

[lostinyorkshire]

We would be comfortably in the top 6 with a better keeper, a striker, better decisions by officials and without injuries to tav and fry.
This is a poor league.

We would be top if we had 11 better players than Norwich

 

[Corcaigh_the_Cat]

The boot to the face to fry against blackburn was the pivotal moment of our season.
I expect the Stats will show massive difference between our record with fry playing and not.

We're not missing him today, it's further forward where we're struggling.

From what I've seen of Grant Hall he's a capable replacement, and Paddy was Fry's regular partner for most of the season.

 

[dribble]

Coulson tackling his own players now

I am, it's half time and we are only 1-0 down. Call yourself a Boro fan. You wishing us to get beat makes me

 

[JM14]

Sums it up quite well that

 

[indeedido]

Not better than us in the Roll the ball in the corner and then run out for a throw in or goal kick department. Spence is the best in the league at that.

He's not been the same since he got the Just Eat gig.

 

[Norfolkred1]

A keystone cops moment just for TV.

McNair should be playing midfield though instead the under performing Howson or the invisible Saville and now the injured Morsy. That’s why it’s a shame that Fry is a big miss. That and the fact he’s our best player by a country mile.
