I still dont get how people are struggling with why people are annoyed with how its going .


No fanbase on earth would be any different to how we are now

I'm the same. I can't see how people don't understand the annoyance and the monumental downfall.

Then it will be "yeah but we will be grateful for playoffs".

Are we classed as the underdogs now then?

Just how we like it, brilliant when we knock them off the top after a week

 

[clint van damme]

Great to get behind the team isn't it, as soon as the going has got tough the fans turn. The backing that saw the relative success of the last few years gives way to entitlement.

I'm more than happy with my backing of the team thanks. From the time and money I spend following them to the vocal backing I give them at games.
But saying the pressure is off is just an easy get out, if they want to be challenging at the top they should be revelling in the pressure. They certainly shouldn't be crumbling.

We lost 6-2 to yeovil

It’s entitlement to be upset that we’ve blown a 9 point lead in 6 games mate. Don’t forget where we’ve come from, we were in League Two 8 years ago, you’d have taken 6th at the start of the season, (insert more cliches here).

 

[Rodders1]

Coventry 1 Middlesbrough 4

That’s the spirit!

 

[Evo1883]

 

[SkyBlue_Bear83]

we wont win more than half

I think we win 6

 

[Matt smith]

To be fair there is pressure on them, that’s bollocks

just like there’s pressure on us

Certainly annoyed myself but catastrophising, slating and belittling players, staff, manager, owner, tea lady and talking about it being toxic on Monday is just silly. There are 45 points still to play for

 

[long way home]

Boro look a really well drilled side and are playing with bags of confidence.Hackney is a premiership player, but seems to be abit of an untouchable when refs are concerned this season.

Should be a good game im just not that confident we can handle them running at our back 4. Or our ability to score more than 2 which i think we wil need to to get points

 

[Londonccfcfan]

15 games left. It in our hands. Win all 15 we win the league!

Good maths for a change

 

[Nick]

Amazing how the sky experts now think Boro have it in their stride and Ipswich have the squad to be top 2 with games in hand....

Don't think we have crumbled in any of the games apart from Ipswich at home! It's just we don't know how to beat the park the bus brigade

 

[Ipad Boro]

Really not looking forward to the 7000 word essay on Hellball this evening by Professor @Ipad Boro

Nah there's fat chance of that.

I'm too pissed.

 

[AFCCOVENTRY]

Yup. It’s all Boro are amazing how we are in free fall.

 

[TomRad85]

Tommy Conway is better than all our forwards

Christ almighty! I'm not even sure i like our strikers that much but all 3 are better than Tommy Conway.

 

[Ccfcisparks]

Nah there's fat chance of that.

I'm too pissed.

go celebrate on your own forum

 

[Nick]

It kind of is crumbling in general. Didn't we crumble against Norwich or QPR?

 

[mark82]

Tommy Conway is better than all our forwards

Tommy Conway 40 goals in 149 championship appearances
Haji Wright 38 in 98
Simms 36 in 134
Asante 32 in 128

Goals would suggest Haji is better, Simms & Asante at least on par.

 

[Londonccfcfan]

You’ll be more broken in a weeks time

don’t get too down mark

No one more broken than you.

 

[clint van damme]

Don't think we have crumbled in any of the games apart from Ipswich at home! It's just we don't know how to beat the park the bus brigade

We've dropped points from winning positions v Preston, Charlton, Norwich and QPR since we last won away.
I suppose crumbling is subjective but to me, that's crumbling.

 

[MikeyMoo]

They will all park the bus I think. We were just too good in the first half of the season, and they've now all seen that parking the bus works against us.

 

[alexccfc99]

If I’m clutching at straws, I’m indifferent to their result tonight

You get the feeling we need a win next week, regardless of how they got on tonight to give us a real shot in the arm

Let’s see anyway, I’m holding a glimmer of hope that dropping down to 2nd MIGHT just kick our arses into gear a little bit and might let a bit of complacency creep in on their part

 

[quinn1971]

Imagine having to beat this team to go top, would you fancy it ?

 

[Shannerz]

Christ, that misuse of 'use' is making my brain melt.

 

[Evo1883]

Yup. It’s all Boro are amazing how we are in free fall.

In fairness we are in freefall form wise

13 goals in 13 games
16 points in 13 games

No win away for 8 is it ?

Its heading 1 way

 

[mark82]

Can't really argue against it. If things haven't picked up in a few weeks we need to follow the Sunderland blueprint of resting everyone for the playoffs.

 

[Gynnsthetonic]

I was confident we'd be promoted by mid-December. We'd built a lead that had never been overturned. Can't believe we're now early February and it's completely gone. Honestly, I'm just so disappointed. It's the hope that kills you.

Wow, completely gone, really?

 

[TomRad85]

A Twitter argument between 2 low iq individuals is pretty irrelevant. There's pressure on both teams, you don't achieve anything without it.

Yes up, it has to change

I wouldnt call jim brown low IQ

Where we play Wrexham and guaranteed a city fan dresses up as Deadpool and Sky do their best to climb in Ryan Reynolds.

Fuck sake I'm going to eat a bat.

 

[mark82]

They need a draw to stay top. Draw likely puts us out the top 2 with Ipswich games in hand (albeit not for a couple of weeks)

 

[SKYBLUES90]

I’ve had enough of being anything remotely positive, the long and short of it we’re in free fall, from where we were 2 months ago is nothing short of a failure.

If we can’t get up for the game on Monday and get three points then I don’t know what to say, we have to win.

Frank over to you.
