Don’t think we had a shot on target. Need to be adventurous if we are to win games. Felt we were playing for draw until it was too late.

We looked like we were devoid of ideas, and Boro hardly had to earn it. Sums it up tbf. Questionable tatics tonight did not help.

Don’t know what to say about that goal, it was slow motion.

So frustrating, a loss isn’t deserved.

On balance I think it probably is. Two bits of awful defending and we failed to put them under a huge amount of pressure.

we might not have players worth millions on the bench but some of them were being picked in the first team until recently (Viktor and Allen) so if your teams knackered you fucking chuck a couple on !

edit - third game in six days and you make one sub. Unacceptable

Another game where a mistake and luck play their part.

Not much between the two teams considering they brought on a player who cost them 7m quid.

They were only ever going to score from a set piece and this pitch is killing our ‘style’ of play.

We’ve turned into scrappy hoof merchants because the players don’t trust the pitch-all sorts of nasty fucking bobbles all over the place.

Robins must the shittest manager in the world. If only he was aware they were tired and the way to win was to make changes. You lot are really depressing in your lack of understanding of the position we are in

Not half as depressing as Robins negativity.

Half the time it's like he isn't aware.

I’m predicting a couple of unforced defensive howlers, and everyone shit scared to have a shot on goal, followed by “Shipley is shit” and we miss Ostigard and why doesn’t MR make substitutions earlier! 0-2
Well not far off, We gifted them 2 goals, and despite having plenty of pressure we didn’t test their keeper enough.
And yes, we missed Ostigard.

Tough beat that, they didn't create a great deal from open play but given 2 soft goals again. Poor in the final third again for us. Same old story

And let's end the shite here... The best striker at the club is still not available and we're crying out for him... He's a proper forward.
The 2 playing tonight can't lace his boots...

Just a horrendous night for me, we played OK for 20 minutes

It's well known we have a squad who are barely above average standard in this league. So what we need is energy, runners, commitment, fresh legs when struggling.

So what do we do when we're looking knackered? Make no subs and let their quality over take our tiring legs. Staggering game management

Everyone can see that why can't Robins.

Dabo was getting skinned and left alone whole 2nd half. How the f wasn't he subbed for Pask. Fresh legs at least@!

The team were absolutely shattered, the warning signs were there and we all saw it coming. Why didn't Robins act?

A very poor performance, sat way too deep for large sections of the game, lacked creativity and front two looked very slow and lacked match sharpness/confidence. Most games I could pick out positives but struggling tonight. Defence looked shakey, we were very laboured and slow building attacks. We need to wake up and quick

Using 5 subs was effective against Brentford and allowed us to carry on pressing for the whole game...so why the fuck has Robins only made one sub tonight? Walker was awful, Hamer poor again, Max was clearly tired in the second half. Now I think we will be in trouble

Have a day off - Allen, Bakayoko Jobello and Gyorkes are not tired - we can all see the position we are in
