It's clear to see the truly obsessed ones once again isn't it?! This board would be a sweetshop for the followers of Freud.

He's doing a decent job with a crap team, the same scenario that Jones has to cope with. No he isn't. He's done a low key version of what Rowett's done, taken a team that was one of the overwhelming favourites, spent more than the majority of the league and threatened to take them out of the hunt altogether with dire, eye-bleeding, outdated football. Two points off play off positions(8th) proves you wrong, he could still get promotion with a good run, and we haven't a hope in hell!

They should be bang in the hunt for automatic promotion with that squad and what they've spent.

Boro have lost 5 games in a row now... It looks like Boro fans have had enough of Pulis and his boring, simplistic style of football. 54% possession, 23 attempts on goal, 7 on target, 2 cleared off the line, 2 hit the woodwork.
Sounds like attacking football.
That’s the stats from last night’s match... I’m just pointing out that the majority of Boro fans have had enough of Pulis and his brand of football... They’ve only scored 40 goals all season, It doesn’t sound like attacking football to me. Don’t take my word for it...

The wheels have come off results wise at Boro but it doesn't seem that they're not trying with that many attempts on goal.

If only we could do this!

Fair enough, but the point is that most on here would have expected more with the squad we have. Now we are wanking ourselves silly at nil nils! We have underachieved massively, too.

If only we could do this! They've scored a whopping three more goals than us, and we've been largely abysmal all season. Only three sides have scored fewer (including us).

They'd finished fifth the season before Tricky, sold nobody significant and then spent £20m on top of that with a supposedly Championship-hardened squad already in situ. It's nowhere near the failure our season is, but it's a failure nontheless. You do wonder if his methods just don't quite work any more, at least not at clubs where there are expectations. Maybe he needs to do a Warnock and go to a club who don't have any.

Boro may well have lost five on the bounce but were they bonus games?

Why is it that some miserable sods always take delight in wishing others ill? I feel nothing but empathy for Boro fans. I just thought someone in TP's 'Inner Sanctum' could shed some light on what may have gone wrong. His appointment was a promotion guarantee wasn't it?
