Middlesbrough v Charlton - Post Match Views

Another day, another defeat.

14 games now since the last time we tasted victory. Last 9 games have been 6 defeats and 3 draws.

No real sign of the on-going misery in sight, or will those there today give us some signs of encouragement ?

  • Defeat was expected, but in the scheme of things maybe some encouraging signs?

    I don't think any CAFC fans seriously expected anything out of this game so nothing lost when compared to the results of the bottom three. We're gonna get that elusive win soon. Aren't we?

    I hope so. We've now gone 12 (13 with the cup) without a win & there's only 17 games left.
  • Sounds like Dmitrovic is a pretty solid keeper, happy to have him in Henderson's absence. Idk it sounded like we played decently for the most part, undone by more set pieces.... On to Norwich
  • I see someone is letting rip with the abuse flags again.
  • No sign of our new managers bounce yet then!
    Forrest seem to be doing OK!

    Other than Watford, most of our away games have encouraging signs. We never seem to win them though....

    We're now in the bottom six but luckily everyone down there bar Rotherham lost.

  • The fact that most seem to feel pretty chipper about "only" losing 3-1 says a lot.

    Still, some improvement and Tony Watt will get another chance to shine against Norwich.

    I don't agree with those who think we are already odd on to go down. There is a lot of football still to be played.
  • Nice that we put up a fight, Boro are one of the better teams in the division and our squad is a long way from theirs quality wise.

    I expected nothing and we got nothing. Onto the next game.

    Still think we'll be ok....just!
  • Boro are a very good side, no one could have expected a result which makes the Rotherham equaliser last week all the more painful. From what the Boro commentators were saying it sounded like we did really well to cause them problems throughout the afternoon.

    We will be ok with regards to relegation, of that I'm sure ... but something needs to happen soon to turn it around. A scrappy goal for a flukes 1-0 win - anything! But it needs to happen soon.

    Another cracking goal by JBG, top player.

    Said it before and it's so blatantly obvious, but defending corners really does need sorting. It's really hurting us and has done all season.

    Let's get down to The Valley on Tuesday night and hope against hope that the tide will turn. Come on boys, do it for Bob Snow.
  • Players not good enough , manager guy who, as for the chairman and his network more like cartoon network ,we are in freefall just can't buy a win woeful .
  • I don't think that realistically we could expect anything at Boro today so with most of the other results going for us it could have been a lot worse. A big week coming up with 2 home games, 3 points would be ok, anything more great. I doubt we will need more than 48 points to stay up, pprobably 4 more wins. Looking more and more like our visit to the spanners might be the crucial game.

    Ban them!




  • Luckily every team beneath us lost.

    I don't think Leeds or Brighton are worse than us and I'm not sure about Millwall. I think it's going to be very, very tight.

    True, but nobody will go to Boro expecting to win right now.
    I'm relieved we didn't cave in after the first goal, or (it seems)bicker amongst ourselves like relegation sides usually do
  • Of the 5 teams below us we have to play 4 of them 3 away and 1 at home (Leeds) win those games and we will be safe.

    And can you think of a worse game to have as a six-pointer?

    I just got one for mentioning Yann! Ah sod it see one play one and I know I'll probably get a reprimand but an eye for an eye from now on.
  • We are shit. What's more we are soft. The only question is are there 3 teams more shit than us.
    We'd expect to finish above Blackpool and Wigan, which leaves us to 'fight' it out with Millwall. We have to assume they are 3 points behind us at it stands, as they will certainly beat us at there place. (Please, no rubbish about us getting a result there when it actually means something)
    I predict we go down, because our softness means we will bottle it, even on the very odd occasion when we might pull off a fluke win.
    By the way, I will be there next season when we are in div 1.

    Looks easy when put like that. Just as beating Rotherham looked easy
  • A shocking result for Millwall which should hopefully dampen down the positive noises coming from the Den, and I think Wigan and Blackpool are doomed.

    It's more than likely one or more of those sides will have a good run, even if only 3-4 matches, at some point. If we are hoping the others do badly to overcome our inability to win, it's not going to happen

    Rotherham won, so they're above us now.
