Felt very flat leaving that. Best thing about the game was all the coppers coming out at the end... lads no one is invading the pitch for that
Slow, ponderous, very predictable. Thought MvE and Rudi were involved in the little good we did, CBs both ok. Grimes, Onyeka poor. Dasilva, EMC pretty wank on the left. BTA wank on the right. Wright really poor, Simms was probably slightly better but has the absolute shittest shooting technique.
On to Blackburn let's get this done ASAP.

They were so monotonous.

Lads, mix it up a bit.

Thought the same. It’s one thing being loud but to sing the same song all game.

Our performance completely sapped the atmosphere out. What a weird game/performance. Last 15 was much better but still overall poor. Put this to bed next Friday.

Grimes was decent enough I thought. Interceptions, kept things ticking over, tried some incisive passes. The forwards across the board were the let down today.

Grimes mve and Rudoni were good
Just wish Rudoni would stay in the box or on the edge of it
Was working fine with mve getting in
Torp was good but didn’t have long enough
Onyeka off it
Emc strangely off it too
Other back 3 fine

That was dreadful, not even a game where we can claim we were unlucky.

Played like they'd been reading the forum all week and were already thinking about the celebrations.

Very unlike Grimes though in terms of passes that went astray. I counted three. Three very easy passes that went straight to the opposition.

Besides that, I thought he was okay, but I would have to mark him down for those very poor passes.

 

[skybluecam]

Yet they carved out the best chances which I expect xG will reflect.

The xg is literally there, 2.6 vs 0.6

Yeah, could remember a couple of loose ones but thought he had a decent game

 

[HadjiChippo]

Haji leading the line with Simms as backup absolutely cannot happen next season if we want any chance at survival.

They both look like they need 5/6 clear cut chances a game to score, and you don’t get that as a relegation battling team at the highest level.

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

Same
Wasn’t him that meant we didn’t win

 

[Viktor17]

Relax. Move on to Blackburn.

credit to SW. we looked nervous and didn’t impose ourselves, must remember these players must be so nervous! See you Friday

 

[jordan210]

Both our wings were not utilised today.
MVE struggled with BTA not coming in and hugging the line.

for some reason JDS dint make as many runs or crosses as normal.

 

[Ipad Boro]

Would you push a button that gave you a billion quid nine times out of ten but changed your sex once out of ten?

I dunno man it’s not a thing. Having been top of the league almost all season and having missed the only title win in my lifetime a few years ago thanks to a global pandemic I want the title.

I'm not denying that the title is important to you. But Promotion is the huge carrot IMHO, whilst the title is great, but not as vital in shaping your club.

 

[Calista]

oases that went astray. I counted three.

Mirages?

 

[steve101]

On a plus point, it was our 5th clean sheet in the last 7.

 

[Seymour_East]

Lessons learned:
1) Saka was sorely missed today.
2) Need a new front line. Wright, BTA and Simms are not Premier League quality.
3) Markelo is a strange signing. Is Yang worse? Esse not much better.

Team needs to realize the job’s still not done. I want the trophy damn it. Finishing 2nd would be disappointing.

Esse does not cut the mustard for me, mostly backwards passing today and no threat going forward

 

[Seymour_East]

We’re on the verge of getting promoted and I’m not sure he can make the step up. He’s not bad, but I don’t know how much he adds to what we have. Wait and see I suppose.

Not seen enough of him, not sure why EMC was not subbed earlier as he had a real off day

 

[Rodders1]

Just got home. Man did we miss Saka today - his urgency, direct nature and work ethic was everything we lacked.

On to Blackburn, looking forward to it - they’ll be disappointed with that today so feel it’ll be a different performance.

 

[Johnnythespider]

the Kitching header was the best

Did wright have any efforts at all?

 

[jto123]

Did Frank give anymore detail about Tats after the match?

 

[Speedie's Head]

Did wright have any efforts at all?

He probably had the fewest touches on the pitch, I'm not sure what he was expected to do. It's easy to turn on the strikers when they don't even get scraps to feed on but the problems were elsewhere in tactics

 

[SkyBlueMatt]

Oh well. I wanted promotion to be confirmed based on our game so it looks like we get that at Blackburn happy days.

Performance was poor, crowd was just as bad. I'm just getting over the flu so I couldn't get involved. I'm pretty sure I even heard someone boo at FT

Another point, happy days, in a great mood, roll on Friday. And Leicester are losing!!

Indeed. Let the good times roll.

FANTASTIC POINT!!!

[Colin Steins Smile]

The Middlesborough & Millwall games look like unless Millwall win their next games by massive margin. We've just got promoted!

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

You'd have to say that also probably puts Ipswich most of the way there too unfortunately.

Yeah think it was always going to be us and them. Just need to make sure we're first

 

[Sky Blue Goblin]

Hard watch but this way, with a point against Blackburn, we can officially go up with us fans together. PUSB

 

[Boicey]

We've done it boys. We're up.

Stop being so sensible and be a bit angry, like so many others.

Today was a point gained. Boro are knocked out of it now and Millwall, because of their vastly inferior GD, are effectively knocked out of it too.

Just saw an iPad fall out the sky and land straight into my back garden, looked like it had been launched from somewhere or north…Any ideas @Ipad Boro

I apologise on behalf of Tommy Conway, he was aiming it at his cat.
