Middlesbrough(away)predictions

Maybe a touch of sarcasm there champs.
Problem is its really strange how 2 different rovers teams can play on the same week.
The heroes of 1 win can be the villains of a loss straight after.
Now I am no expert but no matter how much of a crap championship team we are,I am just baffled how these set of professional players can put 2 different performances literally in the same week.
Anybody can have a bad day at the office but these lads are raising their game to follow it with a god awful display.
I am struggling to understand to why?
JDT doesn't seem to have an answer either.

Serious question. I'll use Sam Gallagher as a good example. People have a go at him. But he puts in a huge shift every time he plays. He is fine. I get that he isn't a great player. Anyone expecting him to score 20 goals will be disappointed. That is simply not his game. It never has been. We didn't buy him to do that. But what he is, is effective in a mobile, fluid front 3.
If you where SG and you played on Sat in a good win, and played well, how would you feel 3 days later being taken out of the side? Would you feel like running through a brick wall for this bloke who is managing us? I know I wouldn't. I would think, fk this. I will pick my money up, and put in minimum effort. As even if I play well, do what I was asked to do, then get dropped for a fkng loan player like Hirst. Who is absolutely awful.
If he keeps changing a side that has just won, then it will create this. A bunch of confused players getting mixed signals and changing formations and players every other game.
I would join these lads in what they are doing, simply going through the motions. Most look completely unsettled and confused as to what they are meant to be doing. Its a shambles.
I'm done now, I can't sit and watch Pickering try and fail to play football. I'm 46, I have no time to sit wasting Tues nights watching stuff like that on Sky. I enjoy football, just not having to endure Championship football and having to watch us.
I don't care what we do on Sat vrs Boro, as we all know if we win we are 100% losing the next game.
But I feel like we are now at a cross-roads. If we stop winning every other game, we will drop like a stone. I can't see us carrying on WLWLW for much longer, and I feel we are much closer to 'not' winning every other game, than we are to stopping losing every other game. I can absolutely see us carrying on losing games, I just don't see the wins carrying on.

Since this guy arrived, we have lost Buckley as a good player for us. we have lost Gallagher aswell. Brereton simply isn't doing it. We made a big mistake no getting rid of him when we had the chance. Now we are stick with a player who is sulking, and we won't get much for him now if he does leave. But he isn't performing.
The likes of Hedges, Szmodics, Hirst, Pickering are not going to improve us. They are ok, nothing more or less.
I hate seeing Dack finished like this. I always felt we would never see the same player again. But to give that lad 9 mins at Wigan after seeing the likes of Szmodics unable to control a simple ball and lay it off, was actually quite insulting. JDT was a striker ffs, so he should know.

Nah, this is awful, and I hate it when we are on TV. I don't want to watch that crap anymore. Even on a good day, as you know 3 days later we going to throw on a truly disgraceful performance.
