Glad I'm away skiing in France.

 

[Verbal Kint]

Had chances, didn't take. Clean sheet. Poor game against a dogged team who played for a draw and got it.

Coleman good Robles good, Lookman showed glimpses, Gana head still in Africa.

Move on... 7th place is our position this year nothing else to see here.

End of the day, keepers decided that game I reckon. I think if we had converted one of those chances, it would of opened the floodgates, each time we didn't convert, they seemed to get more belief they could nick it, fortunately Robles had other ideas

You know what this match was crying out for? Wingers.

 

[Tony Hibbert's 3rd leg]

We'll be alright. Disappointing result today but still have a good unbeaten run going. Home form is still strong. Biggest test will be the away games at the top 6. But if we keep our home format strong and pick up some valuable away points we could perhaps think about 6th place, but 7th would be an improvement on last season and a solid foundation to kick ahead to next season.

First time unbeaten in 8 lg games in 3 years...

Bad display today and frustrating that he didn't change it sooner, after probably setting up wrong.

But it happens and we still had the chances

Boro played to not lose - and they didn't. We got a point against a dogged physical side on a miserable day in a miserable part of the country. Meh, we move on to the next one at fortress Goodison

I thought Bolaise would have done well out there today.

 

[peteblue]

So we're not getting 4th then.......could have scored 3 could have conceded 2..... disappointing but a point is a point.....

If you're fuming about that game then give your head a wobble. Disappointed not to get the win but we didn't lose it (with a nod to Robles) and that's progress from the previous few years.

18 points from 24, unbeaten in 8 and a couple of home games ahead where we can kick on.

Sixth may be out of our grasp but we're professing as a team and there's a chance European football may even come our way.

Summer is where I expect we will be making some big changes. Koeman will have had a season with them and it's pretty easy to see the positions that will be targeted.

Y'know the people fuming over that have short memories, I'm sure in the recent past we would've shoite out and lost that. The sense of entitlement in some fans is unreal, you'd think they have been in a coma since 1987 and still think we are league champions...

 

[Khalekan]

I thoroughly enjoyed that game today, albeit I was disappointed we couldn't finish some of those splendid chances.

One thing which annoyed be though was the commentator on my feed.....he almost had an orgasm every time that Traore fellow was on the ball

 

[marsh]

We move on to the cup next week...

Oh

 

[Groucho]

Robles though

 

[Sarnia Kevin]

In the words of Walter Smith - disappointing

In the words of Bobby Martinez - phenomenal lol

 

[Groucho]

Valencia is appalling at football.

As for the result and performance, I blame the weather.
