Re: Norwich pre match chat

Sorry disagree He has no ability to contribute towards clean sheets. Boro away was typical and I commented at the time.He got an assist and we got 3 points. His defending in that game was atrocious. When the results were going in our favour nobody really cared about his defending. I DID and the resu...

Re: Norwich pre match chat

The argument to keep Firpo in for his attacking contribution is mind blowing.
He is a defender that cannot defend and is targeted every game.
We have to stop conceding as many before we think about the top end of the field

Re: Junior Firpo

Don’t like putting this so bluntly as everybody is entitled to their own opinion
If Firpo plays in the play offs ,then for that decision alone, we deserve to go out and likely will!!!!

Re: Pick your team against Norwich

We can no longer talk about Firpos offensive contribution offsetting his defensive flaws.
He is a defender and CANNOT defend, period.
Never gets close to his man, more often than not is the wrong side.
First change to be made for me.

Re: Pick your team against Norwich

Thank you Ian for a very well thought out response. What worries me is we never seem to have dominant spells in games nor during this lean spell can point to missed clear cut chances or goalkeeper heroics.Set pieces an utter and complete waste of time. Don’t think the above points are anything to do...

Re: Pick your team against Norwich

It all depends on your definition of playing well Winning is different to playing well. Warning signs galore towards the end of that impressive run which I would say have lasted around 2 months now. I consider that timescale very worrying and perhaps the bottom line is we overperformed and what we a...

Of course we are justified ( coach included)
What would your explanation be for the last 6 weeks or so?

Re: Pick your team against Norwich

Unfortunately way too late too much Think we will sneak through against Norwich but will get played off the park against Southampton. Have we always looked slow and lethargic with no cohesion this season? Only the 2 wide players look to inject some pace to our game? Is it a fitness issue? Not sure w...

Huge congratulations to Ipswich I guess one positive to take is that none of the play off teams are going in with any momentum. Hope we can get something going Sunday. I am as critical of Bamford as the next person however I see a bigger issue in that we had way too many players who have little or n...

Outcome nailed on the way the season has gone.
Ipswich lose tonight and we still miss out on autos.

Re: QPR v Leeds Utd - Post Match Discussion

If we don’t go up tbh don’t care who leaves providing we are financially stable and able to make some moves in the market The one thing I have disliked this season is our lack of play as a unit, gaps all over the place and easy to play against, particularly down the middle Even against Boro Howson (...

Re: Junior Firpo

Simply not a defender to turn to when backs are to the wall
Allows his man way too much time to receive the ball
Never seems to show any urgency
I guess his offensive offerings compensate somewhat

Re: Middlesbrough v Leeds Utd - Post Match Discussion

The last 15 minutes could have been so much easier if Firpo knew where to position himself when defending
Pretty basic stuff to know where you man is and get the right side of him and close down with some urgency

Re: Middlesbrough v Leeds Utd - Post Match Discussion

Watched Firpo closely tonight
His positioning and awareness is absolutely appalling
Numerous times he had no idea where his winger was and when aware was happy to sit way off him and allow way too much time
Just wanders in no man’s land
Didn’t realize how bad his defending is
