22/23 The Official Middlesbrough v Swansea Match Thread

The fat lady is already clearing her throat

 

[Pegojack]

One serious attempt on goal so far, a weak scuffed shot from Oba.

 

[Swanjaxs]

Anyone else losing their ability to give a fùck anymore?

 

[bakajack]

Its not happening for Congreve at the moment, feels like he is very conscious its his first start.

 

[Nocountryforoldjack]

We are fucking dreadful so far I just can't see what we are trying to do here

 

[Captain_Sham]

:roll:

 

[John102]

We look so much better as a result of having our pre-season

Possession wise we are killing them

 

[Londonlisa2001]

At least, apart from goals scored, goals conceded, points and stuff.

Everything else though -
passes to and from goalkeeper for no reason, 5 yard completion of backwards passes from Grimes, balls given away in dangerous areas, 50:50 challenges lost, players played in positions completely unfamiliar to them, wages of players that can’t get in the team, number of times we’ve told everyone we are desperate to sell Piroe
- all loads better.

Happy, happy days.

Genuinely, I've had enough of moaning about it, to be honest. There's nothing more to add than the last 4 or 5 match threads. It's the same issues and it all boils down to suicide football implemented by our manager.

We are going down with Russell. He needs to go.

Oh, and 2 nil.

 

[PSumbler]

I have no idea why anyone is moaning.

We are better in every single performance metric.

Martin said so.

Can't wait for the end of the season when they hand out the bonus points for that which must be what he is clinging his future to

Im now not surprised the owners wont give him any money (ignoring the fact we are skint) because his record in the transfer market is awful. Has he made any signing that has improved us?

 

[Captain_Sham]

This is sad.

 

[Nocountryforoldjack]

Game over

 

[bakajack]

So so weak...

 

[dickythorpe]

The fat lady has sung her stuff and is off early.

 

[K23]

Dear me, that's the 2nd time they've been in our box and it's 2-0
