MATCHWATCH : Middlesbrough (a)

[windermereROYAL]

Pauno; `it`s obvious we need to score 3 goals a game to win`.

[Zip]

It's crazy isnt it, this team, on paper, should be contenders to win the league

.....................Cabral
Yiadom, Moore, Dann, Rahman
........Drinkwater, Laurent
Meite.........Swift.........., Ejaria
...................Joao

Southwood, Holmes, Morrison, Rinomhota, Halilovic, Dele-Bashiru, Puscas

I’m far from convinced Ian. Most of those players were in the team that won once in our last eleven games last season. Dann, Rahman and Drinkwater have been very ordinary.
Factor in the dreadful and laboured way we play and Id say they side would probably scrape into the top half of the table.

PAUNO OUT

[Sebastian the Red]

Feeling pretty good this evening about my decision nearly a decade ago to stop going or paying attention because football is for children

[Zip]

Pauno; `it`s obvious we need to score 3 goals a game to win`.

His post match interviews just annoy me now. Totally divorced from reality.
On Wednesday night he needs to ‘rest’ Bristow and play Rinomhota at full back. The lad is desperately out of his depth. It’s not fair on him and it is not doing the team any favours.

And spending time on an internet forum talking to strangers, about a game you don't care about, is a much more reasoned adult activity.

Pauno; `it`s obvious we need to score 3 goals a game to win`.

Also saying all the right things about how to see the game out (as per everybodies advice here and Ady W)…he obviously isn’t a total chump….so why didn’t the players do just that?

Reckon if this trialist is anywhere near acceptable throw him in

so why here?

Yep. He cannot be as naive. Wilson got behind Bristow constantly on Tuesday night. It wasn’t good to watch. The injury time winner today was again just too easily beaten. It’s not helping his career being thrown in at this level. He is miles away from being ready.

That's why I said on paper. Dann's the epitome of average on the pitch and Drinkwater is shit in practice

Seb just sometimes needs to come speak to us to refill his sense of superiority.

[Franchise FC]

Just checked, 9 goals conceded 85+ minutes, so to say we would be 8th is total bollocks.

He’s changed his statement to “8th without the points deductions”

I'm sure the chaps at the Polo Club will be horrified at you for posting on a football website.

On paper I would still say no.

Cabral Very erratic. Has so:many mistakes in him
Yiadom Decent defensively but prone to rash challenges
Moore A shadow of the player from three years ago
Dann Well past his best.
Rahman Looks bang average at this level
Drinkwater. Totally out if condition. Career on the wane
Laurent Decent engine but technically ordinary
Meite Works his bollocks off. A good player at this level
Swift Technically gifted but does go AWOL
Ejaria Again technically gifted but flatters to deceive
Joao The ultimate enigmatic player. Brilliant and awful.

This side is simply nowhere near consistent enough over a 46 game season.

[Millsy]

Drinkwater is shit.

[Orion1871]

Drinkwater is shit.

It's Reading, they're all shit.

[BROB0T]

ALOL

[windermereROYAL]

Keep hearing this improved performance nonsense but if he sky highlights are anything to go by we were lucky it wasn`t 5-1.

[AthleticoSpizz]

Whatevs

But certainly wasn’t the stereotypical Reading showing that has irked us recently….well, for 86 minutes, at least.
