We were never going to go up this season but we are so close and today just about rams home that we are in my opinion the best football side in this league but the worst at converting chances created.Our ability in the final 3rd is almost laughable. It must be great being an opposition supporter watching their team play us, knowing full well they dont have to worry too much about us scoring.
We're having an incredible season really, we've come on leaps and bounds from last season, and the play offs are still within our own hands (though I don't think, and have never thought we'd reach them), but if we want to kick on we really need investment in players who can make a difference in the final 3rd, its as simple as that for me.
Better team against both QPR and Boro but 0 points.
We have needed a goal scorer for the last few seasons Mcnulty filled a gap then fucked off.We were never going to go up this season but we are so close and today just about rams home that we are in my opinion the best football side in this league but the worst at converting chances created.
Robins knows what’s needed next season so let’s enjoy this season and wait for another improvement next season.

Then he needs to play both of them when fit.We’ve got two strikers in the top 10 scorers in the division. They’re not getting backed up by the midfield.
It’s that midfield is the problem area. Perhaps robins changes the style next season and gets a couple of less technical players in to bring in a few goals fromWe have needed a goal scorer for the last few seasons Mcnulty filled a gap then fucked off.
It was the hamer change that did that.Waghorn came on and gave away a load of stupid fouls. Changed the game.
I wonder how much is just the mentality of a better quality player. Shipley can strike a ball better than almost anyone in the squad but when the big chance came today he shanked it woefully. Composure in the big moments is a tough thing to teach.

The majority of which weren't fouls but he should have been a bit more streetwise to their play acting
Why do people keep saying that? A great season is getting pissed up the wall

It’s our 2nd season in the Championship with one of the smallest budgets. Being in the top half is a dream because for me, it’s about staying up.
Mean more in terms of strength and speed not stamina. You can see what he's trying to do and it's usually the right decision but his body can't pull it off. He was good today but lil things like that costing us goals I think. Not just from him of course. All over pitch lacking bit of quality that makes the difference sometimes.Also, Allen IS an athlete.
You can tell when our 2nd teir are in just lack a bit of creativity but still created enough to Bury them. Problem is the likes of O'hare and Hamer need a rest now but when they aren't on the pitch we are still less of a team than they are when tired.
He's 32, how much more streetwise is he going to get?

Just had a look at the Boro forum, very complimentary, saying we’re the best team to play at their stadium! They were v. impressed with O’Hare and they want to give us a blank cheque for Gyokeres in the summer.

What's that got to do with speed?He must have run close to 40km in a week
Just to temper what’s possible with that in your legsWhat's that got to do with speed?
No issues with his work rate
Signing Dwight Gayle is his answer. Of course, so obvious!Here's Nick on CWR, giving us his view of the match from New Street Station.
Yeah but that would mean he's fast when rested which he isn'tJust to temper what’s possible with that in your legs
Problem is we lack a cutting edge. I thought Fadz’s shot was in. Eccles, O’Hare and maybe JCS should have scored today.[QUOTE="Evo1883, post: 2459831, membe
Not sure mate , we've got 2 of the top 10 goalscorers in the league playing upfront .. we need goals from all over not just them
Don't care about the Sunderland result ...must be Middlesbrough fan thingNot really
We had one caller talking about a change to the system but didn’t really know why we should go to another system and another one…. Oh my giddy aunt…. On about robins putting up some sign in the changing room about getting back at the other team? All very bizzare and although everyone has a right to air their opinion there callers shouldn’t be allowed live on air as their getting ridiculed.Here's Nick on CWR, giving us his view of the match from New Street Station.
Ambition has to be tempered with realism.Have a bit more ambition
