It's just so frustrating. Absolutely infuriating.

It was always going to be tough this season against better quality players, that was a gimme. But, we've been absolutely determined to help teams at all costs. Some of our mistakes this season have been beyond shocking, and we're either not learning from them or are just incapable of learning from them.

Should maybe have said they were there for the taking. If we knew how to shoot, of course.

Everyone has worked hard but Boro came to wear us down and nick a result at the end
Which is what they did late on after bringing on players we could never afford
Typical Warnock football unfortunately

Anybody want to see us on a flat pitch. The Trillion pitch turned that largely into a slugfest. Didn't deserve a win, perhaps deserved a draw (but only just) Noro's defence was good and Walker barely got a sniff. Regroup and go again. No time to sulk.

Haven’t usually been pissed off when getting beat this season, but am tonight , Middlesbrough didn’t deserve 3 points at all. Draw was a fair result , Wilson didn’t have a save to make all night! Especially after going 1-0 up. Though mcfadz was brilliant at the back

Not a single effort on target. To be fair, we were stealing a point.

Fuckin embarrassing, gifting them 3 points when they were pure dog shit.

Even at 1-2, we hardly looked interested.

BBC site list zero shots on target. I cant imagine Wycombe no having a shot on target.
Basically we are playing it seems without any strikers suitable at this level.
Cant believe goal conceded so late, This result could be massively costly at end of season sadly.

Do you genuinely think that? Maybe he’s just not good enough. Second bottom is the position we should finish on budget alone

He makes things worse compare their strikers movement to him - he creates nothing and just gets in the way most of the time

Walkers movement has been non existent - otherwise our midfield would be hitting Walker and missing Biamou out.

Very optimistic.
. We just don't/can't edge teams out....as I said earlier, we aren't bad, but just "match" teams...can never seem to get an upper hand.
These sides will be scrapping for their lives, on poor pitches, and sadly, I just don't see us having it in us to win hardly any more games...

Huddersfield haven’t won in about a year and we’re still not above them.

February was supposed to be the killer. March could be the one that really fucks us. We need to beat Derby on Saturday now, huge 6 point game that didn’t need to be if we just picked up a few more easy points by doing the most obvious basic things.

Never had a chance to Mark-can you actually remember an attempt to get a shot off or a position to do so.

Fucking awful composure in the final third has been our Achilles heal all season.

No he wasn’t, he was poor defensively their right wing were all over him when attacking, they created a number of dangerous situations down our right hand side including the winning goal.

Again for to much respect shown to a team higher up the league, never looked like threatening them really apart from our OG long throw.

0 shots on target something has to change and quick 5 massive games coming up and it needs to be much improved from tonight.

Explain it then. You have a day off!!! So many poor performances out there. Everyone has slated gyo and baka. Allen could have come on I don’t know why he didn’t change it but come on

We're not going to stay up trying to not lose at home, the game has been there for us to go and try to win second half and we've just not done it.

We're sat mostly in our own half all of the time and the goal was inevitable.

I have to say I put a lot of this on Robins, we either want to win games or we don't
Click to expand...

I agree but Risk/Reward is a lot easier when you have the talent in the squad to actually execute. When you know you don’t have enough strength in depth the risk of getting hammered every week outweighs everything. When the flowing passing game isn’t working we end up hoping we’ll nick something.

Barring two other teams we’re playing opponents that know this league inside out and a few that were playing in the Prem last year.Survival this season would be an immense achievement.

Get Baka in for Biamou next game, Baka can actually lay it off without taking 15 touches and changing direction 6 times.

He wouldn’t even bring him on for the token 5 minutes. He’s in a piss with half of our squad so is chucking points away to show them who’s boss.

They are competing though? We beat Brentford the other week and still aren't in the relegation zone. I'm sure Robins isn't planning on sticking with what we've got if we stay up.

Dint Robins say the other week. The only way to get players fit is by playing them. So he doesn't even give them 15 mins when we need fresh legs

Tired isn't the issue. He went to the ball and left his man free. It's basic defending. I wa shouting st the TV for him not to do it. Could see how much trouble we be in if Boro player spotted the pass which he did
