Come on the lads got us where we are today we can still do this

SkyblueTexan · 2026-01-31T17:24:31+0000

Team looks tired, jaded and has totally run out of steam. Lack of squad depth and lack of plan B in tactics/game management is costing us. Players just look scared and unsure of themselves at the moment.

The home form?

Sadly we play lately as poorly at home as away of late. Patently we are not good enough.

I still don't get how tired is an excuse.

King needs to be in that changing room at FT.

CM is definitely needed but getting a new centre back is arguably more important now before the window closes

Or he needs to trust and give Woolfenden a run. He's the only player in th squad that's experienced promotion from the championship. As underwhelming as he's been, we're really lacking leadership out there.

Sky Blue Heaven · 2026-01-31T17:25:14+0000

Confidence is shattered within the squad, no away win since Boro in November. Has the pressure got to the players? This weekend is absolutely massive; we need 3 players and not just ones for the future. We need a quality CM, LB & CH or else it’s the playoffs again and we all know how that goes….

King needs to be getting his chequebook out and sorting that out first

Tosser.

boohoo, a bunch of amputees could play better football than these fuckers right now. saying that watched blind football the other week and they could pass better.

That dressing room, there's serious issues discipline is non existent from certain quarters.

steve101 · 2026-01-31T17:26:04+0000

Some of the defensive decision making errors are so basic. For their first goal, Kitching, after failing with initial header, decides to press the ball, whilst DaSilva is already in a advanced position. Leaves a gaping space behind for them to exploit, which they did.

It shouldn't be

And anyway in February we only have 5 games

3 home 2 away

We need 4 wins from 5 really. 3 minimum

The gauntlet has been laid down

SkyBlueMatt · 2026-01-31T17:26:34+0000

I don't normally come on here after a loss as people have a tendency to overreact but I'm strapping myself in and embracing it.

It's been literal months now since we've played well.

Lampard needs to earn his money now. All the goals in the first half of the season will mean absolutely f*ck all if we don't see the job out.

It feels like we've been found out, sit someone on Grimes and then we just hoof it.

I have us as winning one away game between now and the end of the season and a couple of away draws thrown in their as well

And keep our home form going, that’ll do it 32 points, puts us on 90, why the panic

I don’t either, but it’s just the way they look. Tired, bored, not interested. Maybe it’s too much pressure? Can’t put my finger on it, but it’s very frustrating.

I'm just saying how I see it rather than blind positivity. I'm aware things are not going well right now but in Feb I can see us bouncing back

I could see Boro going on a run like this a month ago or so if you go through my post history. And I can see cov having a bounce back February

steve101 · 2026-01-31T17:27:48+0000

Don't think we should have dropped Latibeudiere. Best reader if the game at the back.

That's the other option, he can't be any worse than Thomas and Kitch at the moment but if Lampard doesn't rate him we need to spend.

Just standing still in injury time. Definitely didn't show any passion to push for an equaliser

Partly mentally. The "we can't blow this, can we?" cracks have gradually become fissures. Also physically though as I think we really came out the traps giving it everything we had-we looked the fittest team in the league until November.

Too many holes to plug. It’s done and dusted now.

LeamBandit · 2026-01-31T17:28:33+0000

I really don’t think it can be blamed on the team being tired or jaded. In reality we have have options off the bench and have had nearly a week between games for the last 2. It’s just poor performances week in week out

We’ve wasted the season unfortunately being reactive and not proactive. we should have really attacked this window

We sold the former captain at the end of August and have not replaced him, even leaving aside our league position that is inexcusable from the recruitment team / owner or whoever actually decides these things

Drama queen Hahaha doesn’t wash mate when we’re as shit as we are at the moment

you carry on pretending everything is ok though

I don't have to pretend everything's ok to think your over-the-top drama makes you a fucking idiot.

Tommo1993 said:
Can you stop being so modest and just enjoy us opening the door for Boro to stroll unchallenged through?

I'm enjoying our resurgence, I'd be stupid not to.

But we could finish 1st or 2nd and I truly wouldn't be bothered, right now we aren't the side for you to focus on and I'm not too focused on our points in relation to yours either. From our perspective it was important that we get them in the bag (now if we can turn over Ham Sandwich face's mob to make it 6 wins, conquerors of Ipswich no less, and get some breathing space between us and the chasing pack I'll not feel quite as nervous), before our inevitable loss at the CBS that is close to being written in the stars. In between you have a lot more winnable game when Oxford come to visit.

The gap to 3rd is everything, bollocks to the shiny pot of finishing top. Ipswich are finally having their turn at the good old fashioned wobble it seems and now they enter a run of aways....From nowhere though, I'm suddenly giving a lot more respect to Hull. They've now jumped Ipswich with the same number of games played and their game in hand on Tuesday is the start of 4 home games on the bounce for them, with Derby being the only one of these currently in the top 8. They could feasibly with their respective runs actually open up a gap on the tractors in this period and the aim for both our sides is the same; the need to make sure they don't close that gap to us by more than we'd like.

It's a rollercoaster ride this championship lark!

Sky Blue Goblin · 2026-01-31T17:29:19+0000

One of my favourite performances this year was Wednesday where when we found we couldnt play around them.

We started to play direct into the channels and press high ending up having less possession than Wednesday.

Where is that adaptation now

Welcome to the club. You're in good company, @Mucca Mad Boys has started a tab.

Warwickhunt · 2026-01-31T17:30:00+0000

Perhaps looking at the table now will focus their minds, I think the cushion has caused complacency amongst the players.
