Yet another disappointing result and we are slowly slip sliding away from the promotion dream. The reality of it appears to bear that the vehicle is running out of steam.
In my opinion it started away at Rotherham. We haven't looked the same side since.
Last night we wouldn't have scored had we been given all night to score. Middlesbrough were the better side. Bamford scoring a very similar goal to the one he scored against us at The Riverside.
The visiting keeper could have had the night off. I can't remember him having to do much apart from routine catches
It's all very well us blaming the loss of form on the absence of Chris Martin and it is very true we are missing him. However, this demonstrates the limitations and the lack of alternative tactics by the manager.
Johnny Russell has worked hard in that central role, but it doesn't take a genious to work out that he isn't suited to it.
I was one of those who were initially cautious about signing Tom Ince. He has overall done well, but the last couple of games he's been well handled by defences. George Friend owned him last night.
The only positive for me is the performance of young Jamie Hanson. Two decent steady performances and some crunching tackles last night show why he's called bruiser.
On to Wolves away and a win is a must. Not only has automatic promotion moved into the distance, but play offs are now looking ambitious.
