Is too cheeky to ask any details on the reinforcements?

Assuming Robins gave nothing away but always worth a punt

Typical ,happy to hear him doing well and having a well deserved gloat.

Never been happier to be an idiot, can see this now carrying on (although the next two of the next three games are difficult games in a difficult league).

There will be some moaners. My view, if sheaf goes and Eccles continues to develop the way he is I reckon he’ll be captain one day. He’s not the most gifted player, but the way he is acting when off the ball, becoming a very mature player.

My second Boosh account which lasted a few months was banned when Nick told everyone he could see from my ip address that I don’t go to games.

I posted photos at Middlesbrough away in the play off semi and then he banned me after Wembley. Not sure why.

Match Thread - Middlesbrough vs Coventry City Play off Semi final 2nd leg Match Thread - Wednesday 17th May

Drank a pint of cbd oil and did some yoga, not nervous at all. In all seriousness, some of the Boro lads at work are confident, but also nervous because I think they are generally more expectant (for good reason). I think we've had a really good season regardless so I'm pretty chill. The final...

For the record I basically go to every game as pretty much everyone on here knows.

I think it's quite funny seeing some of Boosh's post to be honest. The Warthog era of a few years ago a personal favourite

It really is a tad myopic to be acting this way, after one win. In light of a very disconcerting start to the season, one that has had many fans concerned.

It was not clear, and still isn’t, if we have truly ‘turned a corner’ or not. Robins himself, post match, stated that this result has to be built upon, not seen as a stand-alone indication that a corner has been turned (paraphrased).
Click to expand...
Not at all.....people have the right to be concerned but I was referring to the bollocks reasoning being given...... lack of effort, new staff, etc

There's one thing being concerned and another thing of having a complete meltdown which several have been prior to yesterday's game....this wasn't aimed at the masses but a good 10% on here

They can have their meltdowns, I can question them and mock....just as we all can and do

Looking forward to Boro away....draw would be a good result going into a midweek home game

We did this v Oxford and Blackburn and never showed up for games after

A run of 3 wins or 4 or 5 unbeaten is a corner turned, not a last minute win v 10 men

No offence mate but like I said earlier spoke to robins after the game, there’s no pleasing some fans, if we were in the the play off spots that still wouldn’t be good enough, negative comments on social media don’t help, it does get to the players, stick with him, we’ll be fine, no problem between players and coaching staff, just getting used to a different way of doing things,

Maybe the supervisor at the Harry Potter gift shop gave Saddles a Gryffindor hand towel as a freebie, because he had spent so much in the shop.

Thrown in the towel may refer to that incident maybe.

For clarity, I was not one of those calling for MR to go, however...
After one win by the finest of margins during which there was still some poor defending, I think it's a bit early to be calling out those who did.

Robins and players are right when they say some of the results we had were harsh. We deserved a win at QPR and we didn’t deserve to lose at PNE.

It’s small margins and I feel that we’ve had our fair share of things going against us in recent games.

It hasn’t been good enough and things still need to be addressed but the outlook is nowhere near as bad as people have been saying!

I think it just shows Robins hasn't lost the plot.

It's fine if fans want a new manager because the results are poor (say losing 6 or 7 games in a row), but I don't find it fine at all to make out that Robins is clueless and an inept manager who has suddenly become a bad manager overnight.

Robins has been getting accused of all sorts of stuff lately. Naive with tactics, picking the wrong players, the wrong formations, the wrong subs etc.

He has proved his credentials to us time and time again over the years and deserves the chance to put things right if and whenever they go wrong.

I don’t see anyone being called out for having an opinion which is backed up, it was the stupid & immature wailing from some. Robins’ job was/ is on the line, that’s clear and nobody disputes that (including Robins himself)- but the type of garbage being posted was stupid. That’s what was being called out.
