* The Unofficial "Official" Boro v West Brom Match-Day Thread *

[Normanby_Red]

I'm getting serious deja vu from last seasons start now.

No way we should be going to Coventry and West brom and conceding 3 goals at both places

Mate on another thread the 3 in thread I said this and the fmttm gang rounded on me like it was madness to suggest Smith isn't a great player.

I don't see what some see in him either, he's a below-average champo right back, and very limited for a footballing side.

 

[Cardiffdaffs]

I real cant be bothered to boil over like most are doing on this thread. After all we all thought we would lose today. A big week ahead to strengthen the squad.

Sammy trying to win it single handed.. go on lad, keep trying…

 

[Alwaysaborolad]

All this negativity about McGree is well over the top. Least he has been involved, Rogers has been invisible first half.

Both been Shi**e thats why Carrick takes them both off, but wow!! McGree is very overrated by some on here!

 

[allied_assault]

It's gutting how far backwards we look to have gone. This is absolutely rubbish. We're shocking.

Tommy Smith as well, what a fcking idiot. Called it last season that he just isn't good enough, and that today is just rank stupidity.

He is a journeyman player

 

[homesickblues]

New defensive coach needed?

 

[Moreno]

is Woodgate in charge because this is as bad as when he was Manager

 

[Boro4life]

Watching boro is so depressing

 

[kuepper]

we need about 7 players to stay up based on performances so far

 

[Otto42]

Am sorry, people seem to like Rogers as he looks good technically, but I don’t see him as a player who is going to contribute. Sammy Silvera is Jones mark 2. Dieng doesn’t seem strong either….Oh dear….Am not happy

 

[Ravshoutsatbeck]

Smiths first booking was a good tackle that should have been a throw in. But his stupidity for the second yellow is terrible.

He is in their for experience

 

[Borokian1876]

Carrick gone by Christmas?

Bet your buzzing. Slagged him before a ball was kicked carrick is struggling but the people who should be questioned are the clowns above him

 

[Alzi]

Gibbo will shat his pants and get fat Sam in by Christmas if we are in the relegation zone.

 

[Borokian1876]

Exactly like we had under wilder last year . Yet you got called an idiot if you saw the parallels

Face it, Carrick has been found out

Or maybe there’s deep underlying problems with Steve Gibson Kieran Scott and bausor. Gibson who has continuously took the club backward for over a decade now

 

[kuepper]

I used to think the first 6 games of the season don't matter so i'm hanging onto that

 

[Ironops]

I think we need to stop thinking about playing nice patterns and scoring and just concentrate on keeping a clean sheet first and foremost. If we continue to try and play like last season when we clearly don’t have the players we will get relegated

Morgan Rodgers is absolutely dog shîte more chance of ted rodgers scoring

Very good point. Clearly won it, no idea what the lino sees.

As poor as we've been today it should be "only" 2-1 with 11 men on the field.

They'll probably get another 2-3 yet though .

 

[indeedido]

I will be interested to see what recruitment looks like this week.
It is obvious that it needs to be significant and of real quality.

If it's not then it is either incredibly negligent, or clear that Gibson has written the season off.
