That was frightening. Poor before they scored, complete lack of drive or ambition, absolute lack of quality passing. Some individuals trying but no convincing teamwork.
After conceding, half just downed tools. Musaba again, but Ugbo surprised me. Keeper urgently trying to chuck the ball out: Ugbo 30 - 40 yards out, in front of box, facing away, slowly walking away. Never looked round. Wtf?
After the unlucky 2nd goal they basically gave up. Standing arguing with each other after yet another failed attacking corner whilst half of 'boro was streaming away towards our goal with the ball. WTF? (Again.)
We've been successful under DR in Dec & up 'til L**ds recently because the players obviously bought into him, his message and the results it brought them. Now I'm worried that the bubble's burst, just when we needed them to keep believing and finish the job: just when our rivals looked like capitulating. There was no belief or togetherness on show today, just apathy, frustration, petulence, idleness and a very poor performance. This will take some coming back from. I can't see it.
