We don't beat Boro after going behind if the 'changing room' is gone.
We have had a bad run of form at the worst time but it happens, Ipswich Leicester and Southampton all did too. Leicester got an undeserved win v WBA that got them back on track, combined with us all losing. Ipswich had their fade then bounced back and seemed to have done so again.
In terms of dealing with the pressure we have done that for a long time as we seemingly have been playing 'must win' matches since early on in the season and won most of them.
If we don't go up then a lot depends on how well we spend what money we have to replace the outgoing players. I have made the point previously that supposedly 'lesser' players could be better fits. The warning is what happened after the Blackwell managed play-off final loss but the positive is what happened after the Bielsa play-off loss.
We don't beat Boro at all if the linesman gives the offside call
Isn't this the part of the season where DF is meant to be the expert? He's waffled on about not looking at the table till matchday 40, he's ballsed that up since.
Also a big fan of making excuses? Blaming refs, international break, quoting xG, talking about what he's done before and how he knows this and that.
Same things previous managers have been criticised for?
Don't remember him ever taking responsibility for a defeat either
His first response is always what the players didn't do.
Not once can I remember him taking sole responsibility.
He deflects.
Just once I wish someone would ask him "why he has been unable to get the impact from the bench others have".
And why his away setup has seen us concede 18 goals in the first 50 minutes this season? Compared to Ipswich 15 and Leicester 7 Southampton 12 West Brom 17.
Only Norwich concede more, so why does DF think that is? Is that something he does wrong?
Best comparison I've heard is he is the German Southgate.
