Very disappointing, 4 straight defeats in fhe trot!! Harwood-Bellis had his shirt pulled first, before he and the Middlesbrough attacked got involved in a wrestling match, which resulted in the Referee who was clearly I sighted to whole incident awards an unjust penalty which obviously didn't help. Why, oh why are they playing put from the back it just invites errors, trouble, and goals. There is no pace in their attacks, teams know how to beat them. RM tactics have been be found out and therefore not working. Something has to change quickly! I question the owners choice of appointing RM, a change now might be better giving ER more time - it's just not working.

So I was going to wait till Nick's report, but I can't as he must be stewing and trying to find any positives.

Well you all have expressed much of my thoughts, but I think a couple of things need to said:
1. Why the hell did we let Roman Peroud leave? Manning is horrible and his has not ability to use his right foot, so that makes him predictable.
2. Holgate should be sent back and give Bree a chance.
2a. 2 personal mistakes cost us two goals.
3. Flynn Downs looks like a boy at times. He has no creativity and I read that RN said Charlie Alcazar was not used as his head wasn't in it? What the hell does that mean.
4. I don't fault the ref for the making the penalty call as without VAR he couldn't have seen that the attacker was pulling HB shirt just as much.
5. It is obvious that RM has his favorites, who are not performing, so this will continue. Again my biggest complaint is that he does not any tactical acumen. How many times did KWP start a run behind the defense and nobody tried a chip over. I counted 8 and no balls over the top.
6. At the pace, SR need to make a serious decision - (1) fire RM at the next international break or (2) accept that we will end mid-table and rid it out to the end of the season and start over.

Last thing I will say is that this team and its mediocre play/style has caused me so much frustration that I find I am miserable for hours after the match because of way we play. No more. I am no longer going to watch the matches until Christmas time to see if anything has changed. My weekends will no longer be ruined by this lot of players. I will enjoy watching the Premier League and root for goals not teams. I wish you all the best in your viewing of the team over the next several months.

I 100% know what is wrong with the manager and the team. First we are not and never will be good enough to play this tippy tappy play around the back four football as proved all season. The main problem we have is the midfield, yes 100% the midfield. We are so weak right across the middle of the park, no height, no aggression and certainly no creativity. We expose a weak back for and give little service to the forwards. We get over run out played in the middle of the park each and every weak. Also i cannot remember when we last scored from a cross with a header, simply we have no height in the team to challenge headers in their goal area. I would guess we must be on of the easiest side to play against in this league. We Downs and Smallbone are just not good enough, tall enough, creative enough and that is a fact,. Then we have Holgate OMG send him back now, and manning a waste of space and then charles and Ballis are hardly playing to any of their ability. So there you have it we need a new midfield to get better results but not before exmas when we will be in the bottom four.
