Conceding that early against a team who have had 5 shut outs in 6 is just unforgivable. Mountain to climb yet again.

Stoke have clean sheets in 5 of their past 6 matches BTW.

Cracking start lads.

Yeah, reckon we may bag 6 again.

Gallagher at LW again is infuriating. Can only hope Butterworth gets up to speed soon and/or Dack returns and it forces him to bench the lumbering donkey.

Remember Boro fans reckon Ayala goes missing from January every season with ‘injuries’. He’s certainly warming up to that form isn’t he. Jesus Christ.

Well we all called this. Down to one fit centre half. Ridiculous.

Bloody hell, thought it’d be a while but that’s awful. Gutted for the lad.

We’ve got Bradley Johnson, not Adam.

I pray to God he pushes Gallagher onto the bench if nothing else.

Probably explains where he currently is in the footballing Pyramid right now!

Gallagher surely has to be dropped for this one. I was thinking to myself what does he add to the side right now and the one and only thing I can think of is his defending from set pieces. He certainly isn’t good at attacking ones. Just end this ridiculous love affair with Gallagher and the wing right now Tony and drop the bloke.

It’s just been posted in the Stoke thread but Mowbray has said Williams played against Norwich with an injury and it was ‘his decision’. What a bloody circus.

Wow. Given Ayala was fit, that’s an absolutely ludicrous decision by Mowbray and our medical team. Forget Derrick FFS, he shouldn’t be telling us he’s starting.

Probably been posted elsewhere but Del is out for ‘months not weeks’. That lad is forever injured. We’ll surely need a CB in January regardless of how tight things are with he and Wharton being long term absentees. There’s not a chance in hell either that Lenihan and Ayala stay fit between now and the end of the season.

I am speechless. It was like the Millwall steal on speed.

You have to be kidding me hahaha Mowbray is one lucky bugger

110%.

We really are a one man team these days!

Yeah likely. ‘It was very uncharacteristic what I saw out there tonight. That’s not a Tony Mowbray team.’ Would be my bet. Yes it is, Tony.

For once I’m actually intrigued as to the guff he’s gonna come out with. Usually it’s an injury or a red card or a bad bit of luck. But this? This is just the pits and he has no out.

Not a chance I’m afraid Joey. I think we’d need to be seriously adrift at the foot of the table. Our only other hope is someone having a word in the ear of Madame at the right time.

Changing your entire midfield two games on the trot should tell Mowbray everything he needs to know about his abilities as a manager.

Oh don’t worry, Chaddy, Mani and co will be on here tonight giving him the season. Then the summer. Then next season.

The death spiral lives on.Defending criminal. Again. First goal they’ve scored away in 5 games. They’ve lost their last 6 away. Nice one, Tony.
