Boro thread


If Carrick could find any sort of consistency as a manager he'd have them promoted no bother. Problem is he goes on pretty poor runs which ultimately cost him.

A few weeks ago the Boro message board wanted him sacked.

I saw people calling for it as well after he looked incredibly stubborn and showed a refusal to change the system when teams have worked them out. They were never going to struggle to score goals all season but it'll be interesting to see what happens next time they play a side who are happy to let them have the ball, maybe grab an early goal and sit in tight and let Boro try to break them down.

Exactly.
The vast majority of us realise that as a manager/head coach, Carrick is still learning and there's bound to be ups and downs / learning curves along the way.
The way folk go on on here, you'd think ALL Boro fans were wanting him out, which was simply not true - no where near true.
I'd say most of us were expecting a good go at the play-offs, which in fairness is where we're in touch with .

Contrast this to a very large majority of people on here wanting Beale ran out of town BEFORE he'd even been appointed.

This thread has turned into you lot reassuring eachother that Boro still aren't very good. Don't worry about it.

I fear our defence may let us down. We concede too many to challenge right at the top of the league I think.

We’re watching two top 8 sides no matter what injuries, sales etc occur imho. Whereabouts in that top 8 both will finish I’ve no idea. However 4th-8th are surely favourite.
Taking into account the games I’ve watched so far this season I’ve three worries for NE football this season: That our HCs reluctance to use subs could cause us to fall away towards the end of the season due to the squads obvious youth. That your lot can continue on this mad scoring spree against middling teams and not just the strugglers and that the mags win summet.

Nah, not what I read. Several threads with a lot of posters on each one saying time up for Carrick.

Thing is though ,even if this made up mutiny was true, so what? - you're basically trying to prove some weird point which means nothing.
Point is, if Steve Gibson wasn't happy with how things were going then HE would've taken action - like he has in the past.

So, if you had not had the start you'd had, would there not be people on here wanting your head coach gone?
There's even been people moaning about him now, after recent results.
As I said earlier in this thread, it's the nature of some football fans (and people in general).
 
Ah, another fortnight or so of the resident Middlesbrough fans telling us how mint they are and how poor we are

I’d respect those views if they were consistently delivered and not when they have won a few games.

I couldn’t think of anything worse than posting on a Middlesbrough forum telling them how class we are. Just couldn’t be arsed

Bealex reputation precedes him. And I think on the whole we were proved right. He was a bad fit for the club. No one knew anything about Le Bris but we give bine a chance from the off. Yes, of course it’s easy to say tvat after a great start and lose a couple and there will be a minority who moan. But he’s got credit in the bank.

Something just not right about Carrivk though, a certain arrogance maybe….

It’s very odd behavior indeed.

The statement is so untrue it's laughable.
One person's wind up's are not what the rest of us are saying.

Respectfully, and I think you are great for the work you do with dogs, but I haven’t read your posts on football for a good while until your upturn in form. I think they are packed with thinly veiled digs with the intention of antagonising people.

[/QUOTE/} well, to be fair Seaham you’re a good poster on here and actually offer something g to the board in reasonable debate. I think we all know the muppets on here to which we refer. Offer nowt except ram the greatness of Boro down our throats, which is a little futile as 1. You’re not that great, 2. We are Sunderland fans.

Well that's your opinion (Carrick), I'd say he has confidence in his players and how he wants the game played and he believes it'll 'come good', which in fairness he's not that far away imo.

What you've said about Le Bris is pretty much what I'm saying - results that aren't seen as decent are going to invite criticism from supporters of that club (any club).

Yes, some people will find fault with anything , like how Carrick talks in his press conferences for example , but Tony Mowbray had that when he was with your club.
