You say we’d had slightly the better of that if it wasn’t for the suicidal goal against again. Shape change has helped us. Doughty for a Lapslie and push Williams right, Doughty left wing.
Eh? If Boro had brought their shooting boots they'd be about 4 up, they've had so much space in and around the box but keep dragging it wide under no pressure. How any one can say we've been the better side is beyond me.

Disagree. They have been playing nice patterns around us up the pitch and I'm surprised they have only scored once. Standing off them too much and letting them have too much off the ball.
They had too much space in midfield, particularly out wide, when we were in the diamond. Us switching to 442 has starved them of that and we were well on top towards the end of the half. Just needed to fashion that one clear chance. Green had caused them problems too. Was pretty even overall, just they had a good spell then we had a good spell. Difference is we gifted them a goal and they, very rudely, haven’t seen fit to return the favour. I think if we stick a right footer on the right and a lefty on the left we can get at them out wide. Maybe Bonne on as well and focus on getting crosses in. This ain’t over but the back four have to play a solid half with not more comedy defending. We do at least seem to have stopped asking Pearce to be play maker and have focussed on moving the ball forwards.
I blame ESI. They knew we were in the shit without some investment and improving the team. It's been glaringly obvious for months
Absolutely nobody could have predicted this drop in form.
I thought with the injured players coming back we would see an upturn in results, and we kinda did. However Stoke and the last 2 and half games have been absolute car crashes.

Bonne got his shorts on and ready to come on?
Ref isnt giving him anything either when they foul him
outstandingly crap atm
I reckon next week against Hull we both make history as the two shittest teams ever and we both end up losing in the same match
We can't even take a throw on without it causing us trouble.
Well, why buy the fucking club if you have nothing to invest?
That's it. That's the positive.
You are joking. It's been on the cards for months
Often sitting too deep again. Forward(s) isolated from too deep midfield. We've got to play the game in their half.
