I'm liking these short corner routines. Nice to see we do actually work on corners.

Ollie time now imo.

 

[ABSwan]

Manning didn't need to do that, there was cover there that would have knocked behind for a corner

 

[CygnusX1]

We need to fine Grimes every time he takes a shot

 

[Longlostjack]

That second half was great entertainment.

 

[CygnusX1]

Enjoyed the 2nd half. Draw a fair result, although it could have been a higher score draw

Should of won that really

Well it certainly perked up. Sometimes we look so classy, other times suicidal. I reckoned 60, we’ve got 60 but still feels like there was more there for us this season. Oh well, let’s see if we can put the shits up ‘muff. Now that would be nice. I’d rather see pooper or hudds go up than them any day of the week.

Agreed, but it's "should HAVE".

Not a comment on today's performance, but I mentioned before kick off on Monday about the lack of changes, especially constantly hearing about players being tired.
With Bournemouth and Forest up this week (another 3 game week) wouldn't today have been the opportunity to maybe change things a bit. Ogbeta for one.
Was it more about keeping the unbeaten run going?

Right, let’s bin that Naughton / Fisher goal kick routine.

Not only does it look a bit naff, it also results in losing possession on more occasions than it really should. At its very worst it costs us goals, like we saw today.

There's no way we will be in the promotion picture next season if we carry on playing about in defence like we have this season. Another goal gifted to the opposition today and defensively we are not good enough to be challenging at the top end of the table .

How the f*ck can anyone in football say that our play at the back is clever or anything other than risky. It's idiotic.

Did you see Fisher passing to Naughts and then running outside the Middlesbrough player so naughts could pass back to him, if that had gone tits up it was 3 pts to Borough, ridiculous thing to do and after that l think the ball was more or less passed around near halfway line, we continually pass for the sake of passing, it’s pathetic, we not gonna get anywhere playing like that all we doing is slowing the game down and stifling our play and giving the opposition a chance to organise, we not good enough to do that and get away with it.

Absolutely spot on , it just slows the tempo down and gives the opposition time to regroup. Pointless.
