Ffs why didn’t hamer put the ball into the box

Fucking depressing this. And harsh on those young players to send them out to die each week. So far off the required level.

 

[Nick]

The issue we have is that Godden is slow as fuck and Walker is slow as fuck.

Both finishers in the box but the issue is getting it to their feet in the box.

 

[SlowerThanPlatt]

Get the ball in the box

 

[Johnnythespider]

we did so well for 80 mins and then changes shape.

game plan was working

This was the game plan

 

[clint van damme]

After tonight the alarm bells are going off for me.

Naive. And just not good enough

what were you expecting? Boro have players with experience in the EPL, the Champions league, international tournaments and they're mid table, that's how tough this league is.
What did you expect we would do against teams like this?

 

[ccfcchris]

We knew the step up to the Championship was going to be hard and survival was the target.

We need pace. That’s why Bapaga could be the wildcard pick.

 

[Sick Boy]

The reason this is so annoying is that we're better than this. We just seem to have abandoned all of the principles that won us the division last season. Namely keeping the ball for more than 10 seconds.

We are not able to at this level, it’s like some people majorly overestimate the ability of our players.

 

[Nick]

How isn't he giving a free kick for a foul on Dabo?

 

[Liquid Gold]

How the fuck have all the officials missed that foul

 

[fernandopartridge]

2 strikers on so we stop trying to hit them, this is shite

 

[Frostie]

Refs buying all their shit now

 

[Skybluefaz]

Jesus fucking christ this is painful

 

[ccfcway]

Fuck me it's been a very poor start to the season... Absolutely need to find a way to grind out results

don't agree at all. Inexperience and still finding our feet,

Main issue is simple gulf in class and money

If we're relying on an untried youngster then we're completely fucked.

Have we had the ball in the box since they’ve scored?

 

[CanuckSkyBlue]

We’ve only got like 4-5 championship players. The rest are way off the pace and standard. It’s gonna be a scrappy season

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

We knew the step up to the Championship was going to be hard and survival was the target.

Not even going to put up a fight at this rate

 

[Evo1883]

Maybe it was a season too early... The doubt is creeping in now

 

[Nick]

2 strikers on so we stop trying to hit them, this is shite

Because they both look far too slow to be able to get it.

We are pretty fucked with the options we have.

 

[David O'Day]

How many times is that going to be the excuse

Probably every time we are losing away to the team in 7th place?

Why are you acting like this is a game we should be winning?

 

[covmark]

Absolute fucking shit

Dabo is so far off the pace as well.

 

[SeaSeeEffCee]

Dabo has been horrendous

 

[SlowerThanPlatt]

Jesus christ

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

Fuuuuuuuuuuuiik

 

[Sick Boy]

Absolute fucking shit

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Hit on the break 2-0 what a great evening

 

[Sky Blue Dal]

Seem like we have a non existent strike force. Do we have any??

Only one shot on target!

Now 2-0 down.. bloody hell.

 

[JulianDarbyFTW]

Game over.

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

So so fucking sick of this division

 

[Sick Boy]

Pathetic, naive and nowhere near good enough

 

[clint van damme]

How many times is that going to be the excuse

it's a perfectly logical reason.
Just look at some of the experience in the Boro squad. It's not easy to come from L1 and compete with that.
