Still stings.

We needed a ST, not an average Championship CM.

The embarrassment still stings though. That's when the mask slipped for Waggot and co with their deliberate sabotage.

I'd love to know what exactly they were supposed to be working on this week.

Totally run over here. More or less as expected. Just waiting for the inevitable Boro goal

It hard to believe we are top 6 in November

I do feel sorry for Gallagher - any time he throws his weight around players fall over and a foul is given. He's just bigger and stronger than them imo.

Doughnut eating and table tennis 🤫😉

In the McFadz argument - I’m in the camp that he’s okay, I’ve not seen enough to form a strong judgement either side. But I will take him every day and twice on a Saturday at 3pm over Dom Hyam. He is just too weak, too quiet, too slow and too soft for a relegation battle.

Szmodics should have dived there like Hardie did last week - red card.

It’s the clumsy way he does it. Agree he never gets the benefit that seems to be given to others

We look absolutely shocking... if we lose today give Johnson the gigg... not just because of results but also HOW bad we have become

Had to laugh at Gallagher being fooled by Sammy’s dummy

Hmmmmm we did but I really felt he would have made a massive difference. He was an elite championship midfielder tbf

[WacoRover]

And now for something totally different…  Brentford a man down at turd morgue. 

[moerpho]

Take out Sammie and what are we left with? Who’s gonna score?

They won't pay Eustace off, that's the reason they stick with managers way too long and end up in the shit.

[Bethnal]

We look shit, again. This team hasn’t needed an international break quite as much as it does now, but I’ve still no confidence that Eustace does much with the extra time he has with the team.

Middlesbrough have enough about them (that Latte Lath looks a nuisance again) to put us away, but seem a bit vulnerable on the break. Perhaps overcommitting, perhaps poor organisation/maintaining the press unnecessarily.

Hoping they don’t find their shooting boots any time soon and we can nick one or two on the break.

Szmodics might get one. Assume you meant Sammie Gallagher yeah?😉

[WacoRover]

eustace clearly not got his message over to players or fans on how he wants to play,im`e confused as to wether we play possesion football or more direct stuff,the players certainly don`t know looking at todays game

[yankfan]

Even when we get a spell of possession we barely threaten midfield. 

[simongarnerisgod]

middlesborough only need to step up the tempo and we`ll be in trouble

[superniko]

Stoke and Wednesday losing. Our saving grace might be not being the worst of a bunch 

[Exiled_Rover]

Punch thrown by Boro player - if he's not sent off then this ref is a bell-end.

Didn't see a punch?

If they score from this!
