Pay my money entitled to my opinion, not like I’m saying anything massively out of line
And I'm entitled to call you out.

We are 2pts worse off than this point last season. Plenty of time to turn it round... But no let's start talking of relegation and write all the player struggling for form off

It was criminal that Wright didn’t hit the target with both his chances really. The fee ain’t his fault though

I hate to agree with Matt Smith I really do - but the difference is we’re two points worse off than last season, when we didn’t have a ground…

We also don’t have a Gyokeres and Hamer to pull us through the shit. Most of the players Robins has signed are wank. Haji Wright cost 7.7 million and quite frankly I wouldn’t pay 750k he’s an absolute disaster of a signing

Main issue is we build up so slowly. By the time we reach the attacking third the opposition have 9 or 10 men behind the ball and then you need world class technicians to break a team down.

Robins needs to be coaching to move the ball quicker even if that means we give up some possession. It’s not working at all.

In Jan the priority has to be a dynamic central player to replace Eccles in the starting 11.
I think this is the only problem really. We’re just too slow in the build up, players shy to put the ball in. Wright was waving his arms around getting more and more frustrated as the ball just never came.

Emotions are high, everyone is pissed off. If Robins wasn’t Robins there would be more questions asked. But he is Robins and he’s earned that.

Talk of MR out and relegation is OTT at this point. No way we’re going down.

We have scored one goal in the last 4 games.... where do you see the goals coming from in this team?

Cos I can't see too many

It has been a bit of a shock at how badly we have adjusted this season but I'd say losing Vik and Hamer would derail most teams, that's the heart of the team gone. Was disastrous not being able to replace Gus. And pretty mental to try and totally change the system at the same time. That's on Robin's. Today was odd as 1st half we looked ok and more comfortable in using the box.

I dunno I just think it's mostly confidence and adjusting to the league that is holding them back. I'm positive we'll come good. Just looks way worse when you look at the fees we paid.

Middlesbrough lost Giles, Archer and Akpom… they seem to be getting better

Sorry to interrupt another post-loss BSB meltdown, but as bad as we looked going forward, we absolutely didn’t look like relegation fodder tonight.
I mean relegation fodder Rotherham created more clear cut chances against us than we did tonight… that’s an Alarm bell

It isn’t a meltdown, not half and maybe you can direct your comments at those going a bit further. Robins and McF are presumably also in meltdowns based on their comments tonight.

There’s so been so much change

robins needs to stick to an 11

least then we definitely know if these new players are shit 😂

Agree with this. Stick to the box. Simms up top though for me. Lati and Kitching as two of the three, not sure about Fadz at the mo though.

Tonight summed up the season for me. Not a bad performance, stinking first goal, miss a couple of sitters and a shocker from the officials. Just not getting the rub of the green as I’ve said before.

Ps text from baggies mate

‘We were lucky with a couple of decisions to be fair but we can be hard to break down and you missed a couple of great chances’

Well I didn’t hear either of them declare we were in a potential relegation battle and it would be “bold” to suggest otherwise. Thankfully they know the difference between a crap performance and a crap bunch of players.

Robins just stated the obvious that we need to take chances and is waiting for us to 'click'. I mean I'm not loving the style today but we are miles off being bottom 3.

Usual over reaction

Not sure i can keep telling myself "we will come good" for many more games. That was such a frustrating game, not getting the penalty, concede an awful goal and miss an absolute sitter. At least we've got a nice trip to Preston coming up, always get something there don't we 🤣
