Middlesbrough(away)predictions

Thats the thing I just cannot get.
I am baffled at why he would change a worker like Gallagher for someone who doesn't look confident at all.
Something isn't right at all.
Every team(city aside)goes through a rough spell but I have never witnessed a team so up and down as our side.
To put in 2 completely different displays within days and to do that each and every week,is embarrassing to say the least.
Even good old sky is laughing at our expense.
"Blackburn is just like a yo yo"
I know I got shot down a bit but look at what has been brought into the club to improve us,it just hasn't really.
I felt this club had a bottling mentality for quite a while and now its got to the point of bottling the chance for 2 wins on the spin.
Things will take a turn on Saturday for the worse and then JDT will have to change things tactically.
Mowbray was a stubborn mule and it would appear we have another in JDT.

I agree, I don't see a massive amount of quality that has come in. I don't mind Brittain, and I think Hyam is decent enough. I think Morton is a good player, but much better than our own Wharton? I am unsure. He cost us 3 points the other night. What they are, are Championship signings. Maybe we are both being harsh? Maybe some will come come good, who knows. I don't like the look of Hirst. And for me that's a double disaster. As we end up killing and destroying Gallagher in favour of playing an ineffective kid. But another clubs player aswell. So in no way do we benefit.
JDT, I guess he is trying lots of new things. I dont really agree he's stuck in his ways like Mowbray. If anything, he is trying too much too soon. I'd be keeping it much simpler. Pick a formation, stick by it. But then, we tried that under Mowbray, and ultimately it didn't work successfully.
I do think most of this just simply boils down to us not being good enough. Which I can accept, and its that old ... its the hope that kills you as a fan. What do we expect? Me? I expected too much, so I will lower that expectation, as its unhelpful.
I can handle a manager who tries things. If they dont work, the fine, at least you tried.
I can see us playing some nice football. I can see what we are trying to do, but just don't have the final ball quality, or any decisiveness in our game. Of course that was just a one season wonder from Brereton, and I am starting to think we should have cashed in. You feel if some of this clicks, if somehow he found form again and we found a way of making him look effective, then we will go on. But I just feel a bit confused why its not clicking.
