Settle you ficklers. We’re at least ten places better than anyone would have predicted at the season’s start. Ok it’s not the best of halves but neither was Middlesbrough. It’s also not the end of the world if we lose.
Oh dear. Robins doing a val on val. we're getting well and truly valled. Barnsley getting barnslied. Needs a proper half time bollocking.
Fair play to Cov. Worked us out. Were the better side. We showed a couple of touches of class but so have they and they have a very clear game plan.
If this side went up without too many changes, and then put first half performances like that in in the Prem, then next year could be brutal at times.
I believe that will be the case too. There's been no indication so far that it's on the cards, but I've seen a number of games this season when we've performed just as badly as this in the first half only to take the opposition to the cleaners in the second.
Second best all over the pitch. It looks like the midfield haven't turned up. A little glimmer of hope towards the end of the half so hopefully that's something to build on in the second.
Don't wait to 60 mins to make changes, send out fresh for 2nd half. We've had some non or poor participants out there that half.
First half no complaints cov are first to all the second balls and look organised and quick at the back. A draw will be a great result.
Britain lightweight and wasteful, Palmer redundant . Alex and Styles frustrating . Forwards under immediate pressure can’t hold ball up . Defence on overtime .
It’s not fickle to say we’ve played poorly there. The Boro game might not have been a great watch, but we’ve been second best all over the pitch in that first half. Need a drastic improvement, but they won’t let this go lightly, they’ll be virtually safe if they win today.
