Adams has his customary nice chance on goal…and misses wide. 🙄

They are playing a very similar game to us, but they’re moving into space better.

Looks like some kind of three at the back type setup! 😳

Well with that line up, if we don’t beat the club at the foot of the table, we’ll know exactly what the rest of the season has in store.

Last time Middlesbrough beat us was in 2012 apparently and they’re bottom. We all know where this one’s headed then. RM once again can’t resist being all fucking hipster by playing someone out of their natural position and so expecting Holgate to screw up enough to gift a goal. Hope they’re all feeling brave because I suspect Boro players will be kicking ‘em all around the pitch without any protection from the Ref. COYS!

There…fixed it for you. 😉🤣

Something tells me they’ll give him more time…perhaps even until Christmas. He’s probably seen as one of the bright light Managers sub-Prem with a Pep style system in his kit bag and the dilemma will be whether to risk giving him time to get the system bedded in or hoping a new man can make something of the squad they’ve assembled. Not forgetting of course that RM has got two of ‘his men’ in Downes and Manning at his disposal. Personally I’d say that the evidence suggests keeping him is futile, but Wilcox will not want to admit he’s got his first major appointment very wrong.

Bring back Nigel…our promotion King and mentality guru. There is clearly no-one better suited to turn this bunch of losing misfits into a cohesive team of winners. Or something like that. #getadkins #dreamon #delusionsruleok

RM pre-match tactical team talk: “Right lads…they’re bottom for a reason…just keep passing the ball round. Be brave. Walk the ball into the net, but don’t worry about the score…the stats speak for themselves.” MC pre-match tactical team talk: “Right lads…they’ll fanny round with it for ages but don’t worry…be patient, once you see their CB’s near the half-way line lump it long, chase the ball down and score, cause they’ll be in a complete mess defensively. Don’t worry about them attacking, we’ll always have 11 players between the ball and our goal…just double up on every press as their gaffer reckons they’re not brave. Make sure your fouls are numerous but not serious enough to draw a card…the refs don’t give a shit. Have fun…they’re a nice side to play.” 😉😜

True, but only if you’re CAPABLE of giving 100% in a system you don’t see tangible benefit from. You need every player to be able to adapt totally to Martins system, otherwise individuals will get caught out and the fact is there are too many falling short. Not their fault they put in the effort but find they cannot execute the orders they’ve been given…rinse repeat.

Lose this and it’s time up for RM.

I called it a while back - we’ll be struggling to stay away from relegation and playing the blue phew next season. I’m almost done with it now - it’s just gone on too long. 😩

Once again RM loses the game by starting a completely unfathomable line up. Just utterly pathetic and useless management. He deserves no further support IMO.

Wait for the boos to ring out.

Midfield completely switching off. Big holes being left open.

Charly on Smallbone off. Mmm… 0-2 then.

Adams has so little positional sense for a striker - how the hell did he ever get to be the best striker in this league? Oh yeah, not playing this crap system.

Che never seems able to get in front of his defender. If he could he’d score more.

Oh look the muppet has actually put a first choice selection of players on.

That’s where the smart money is!

4 shots on goal. Not one shot on target with 56% possession. Relegation form. Horrible shitty football.

Just cannot believe we managed to get in at half-time just one behind. We’re not winning this game of football playing like this though. Dross tactics. Dross team selection. Delusional manager.

OMG - what a crock of utter shit this team is. RM can absolutely do one as far as I’m concerned. It’s getting worse not better.

There you fucking go - piss poor defending with opposition players all around them. They have one chance and score. Shit slow motion tactics…suicidal.

Charles gets some good chances, but always has poor directional control.
