v Middlesborough (h) - 4/4/2025, 8pm k/o

[RevidgeBlue]

Is that Boro's fans or ours advising Ismael he's getting sacked in the morning?

[Tom]

Decent pass from Pearsy that 

[Displaced Rover]

Never mind the Championship, I’m unconvinced Pears should be playing football anywhere on a professional basis…

True though, tbf.

You only have to look at certain players now and under Eustace.

Brittain was having his best season here till his injury. Batth and Hyam were solid at the back, Travis and Tronstad immense in midfield and Gueye finally looking a decent striker.

All those players have regressed under Ismael and look shadows of the players they were earlier in the season

Agree owners and board have to go but there is no way Ismael can be here next season. Another costly mistake , probably £2m quids worth

Holy moly just noticed Buckley is playing 

Define playing.

He's a coward. That tug back on the CM was pathetic. Every other pass is a hopeful flick on.

[Ricky]

Fuck off Pears! One of the best keepers in the league according to Hinchcliffe on comms lol. Joke!

[G Somerset Rover]

Like keystone cops at the back.

We need them to score 1 or 2 more here to really turn the screw.

[davulsukur]

One of the best keepers in the league 😂🤡

[Bbrovers2288]

Do we really just have terrible players? Don’t look like scoring in a month of Sundays 

[B16Rover]

That's phenomenal from Pears.  I don't understand how you make it pro and pull that out.  

I know tonight is less so on the players, but Pears and some others (Hyam, Brittain) are some fair weather players. 

That's what makes hedges more frustrating, this is him trying!

[roverandout]

Loads of possession but no chances created

Boro's. Most of our lot are understandably sitting in stony silence

It was sensible - he was going to get sent off. 

We are basically playing without a striker now

Make you wonder why Toth never gets a go. 

As for Hedges - he disappears in the final third, it's uncanny. He looks quite a competent player in the other two thirds of the pitch. 

[BigBar]

Riberio is a good player

Yes that's why Eustace left.

The Three Musketwats Waggott, Suhail and Gestede continued the tradition of downgrading the squad. Sooner or later the wheels were going to fall off.

Good time to play crosses when we have the hobbits from lotr up top 

[davulsukur]

Another let off.

Most of our Crosses go straight to the keeper, so it wouldn't matter if the BFG was upfront

Losing 6 games in a row, 4 of them to the worst teams in the league?

Yeah, he'd be fired at most clubs. 

I mean, he just wouldn't. 

I could count on one hand the number of managers that would have lost their job within a similar time frame. 

Let's direct our criticism at the right people and focus it on the areas where we can actually show what a joke this club is at the moment.

As soon as boro turn it up they rip us apart

[G Somerset Rover]

How are they not 4 or 5 up here? At the very least.

I’m sure Chaddy tried to argue that our January business was better than Boros. Not sure what he had been smoking and not sure even he can put a positive spin on tonight 

[USABlue]

Clear yellow not even a foul given.  Compare that to Buckley's, another biased ref.
