Let’s start with Chris Wilder’s view: "It's not that they carved us open, they've not done anything that's spectacular” Boro fans views: I'm not expecting an easy game, they never are when we play at Barnsley Must win for me. Yes, they should be respected fully, but Barnsley are bottom for a reason Win. They are bottom. We are better. No excuses Teams in the position of Barnsley are always dangerous, they are 9 points behind Reading and safety and so they are going to fight like hell in every game remaining for their survival in the Championship. We clearly have the better team of players otherwise there would not be a 32 point difference, so it's not about that, it's about do we have the passion on the day to overcome the fighting, backs in the corner attitude that Barnsley will have. Defeat is inevitable. Holy crap - was not expecting this! Some intense pressure from the home side. Boro defence looking like Bambi on ice. 1 down deserved. Pathetic start tbh. 1 nil Barnsley. This is an absolutely woeful start. Barnsley bossing Boro 2 down to bottom of the league. Hahahah What on earth are we doing? Are we complacent?? That useless waste of space Lumley can't even reach a daisy cutter just a few inches from him. Get him gone already FFS! This is embarrasingly bad. They look like world beaters. I've seen enough, we've come with an attitude we will turn up and roll these over.....its ended up biting us on the ***. I *** hate Oakwell Sorry but Wilder out 7/1 for us to come back and win. Get ya house on it I see them every week on the local news and they have picked up a lot. I did mention it earlier but the players and the manager didn't listen Fair play to Barnsley - they are playing with incredible intensity. Not giving us an inch of space to play How are *** Barnsley of all teams carving us open with ease? mental this. the tykes looking good and want it more than us dont they. I’ll finish with this one, made me chuckle "Just got in from a kids birthday party, seen the score and recent comments, and now wishing I was back in a hall with 30 screaming five year-olds playing What's The Time Mr Wolf"
Love the last comment! Not unexpected that the hard of thinking in their fan base would be saying easy win etc but can’t they check our history against Boro? Beating them at Oakwell is a regular thing so I wasn’t expecting anything but a win for us. It could have gone against us with two shots hitting a post and a disallowed goal but they got lucky with their two goals. All three of ours were beautiful efforts - top class, despite moaning Wilder saying otherwise. I wish we had thumped them 5-0!
Boro look like Bambi on ice! Love it A couple of reasonable assessments there, but mostly it's: #TeamsLikeBarnsley comments
Let’s be honest they thought they just had to turn up to win yesterday glad they got the battling Barnsley of old to send them packing. Despite the refs best efforts to get them back into it.
Ah but in 2 years time when they do sack him, he can hold his head up high saying he called it first.
They weren't on their own lol.....i was at the metrodome with the granddaughter around 12.30 and got talking with a Middlesbrough lad who lives in Sheffield....I called it wrong said it would be the easiest 3pts they would collect all season.....he on the otherhand said he doubted it adding its the championship anything could happen...infact I'd take a point now I'm expecting you to win.....
Watford will have had 6 managers in the next two years lol Did someone mention the other week that Watford have had more managers in the last 12 years than Liverpool have had in their entire history? Sure I read that somewhere
