[superniko]

What’s the thinking with Ismael and Tronstad?

Is he just a terrible judge of a player?

You mean like 'We know the core support is behind us'. I.e. It's just a few rogue troublemakers. 

And 'We're not going to spend 15-20 million per transfer window'.

Yeah we get that, you're hardly spending 1-2 million at the moment. Any chance of a middle ground and not bullshit extremes.

He genuinely makes my skin crawl - the smug smirk is very telling.

Rock bottom over the last 19. Absolutely woeful 

Not good enough. Injuries played a part and our confidence has gone. 

 

[rock steady]

Love how they keep deflecting when protests are raised and talk about how we need to support the players. 

Players have ALWAYS been supported as they well know.

[Tom]

Specially for @Exiled_Rover can I pre-emptively say this referee is horrific

Amend my post Tom. Forget about Ohashi. One was my team. One the team I thought Ismael would pick 

[den]

Ismael, Gestede, Pasha, Waggott.

Imposters.

[Ferrit]

League one side in the making

cantwell, hedges and Dolan, can’t wait to get absolutely zero impact from a third of the team

Miles closer than I would have been to be fair

It’s bullshit anyway. The Plymouth game proved you can simultaneously protest against the terrible board & ownership and get behind the lads, we won comfortably 2-0 and there was a huge feel good factor around the stadium. 

It improves the atmosphere if anything, the players know the fans are fully behind them.

Distinct lack of centre backs in the Boro side, I am assuming Howson (midfielder) and Borges (full back) will play there? if Ismael has anything about him at all (he doesn't), we should be able to bully that back line

 

Main plan should be trying to cross it to Gueye, but unfortunately our two pacey "significant investments" in Dennis and Kargbo are both injured. Instead, we probably have to worry about whether Travis can keep track of Azaz since Tronstad is not starting. Our lack of pace out wide will likely prove costly in this game.

He's still playing Pears, so yes.

Give him a chance. 

[Ferrit]

Hahahah.

[K-Hod]

Best possible start 🤌.

[Tugay-is-God]

Lol 

[Forever Blue]

Fuck off Venkys

[davulsukur]

Less than 90 seconds 😂

Absolute clown of a manager 🤡

[Tom]

1 minute 15 seconds the worst possible start

But the perfect storm for a protest movement

[doctorryan]

To script......
