'Dreadful; lost for words': How Middlesbrough fans reacted to the Bristol City defeat - and the 'massive' week on the horizon

The Robins were 3-1 winners at the Riverside Stadium, in a result which leaves Boro 18th in the Championship.

And with Reading on the horizon, fans know there is a big week ahead for Neil Warnock’s side.

Here’s what supporters were saying on social media:

@iagogod said: “Dreadful again. So what’s our win record at home in 2020 @Boro?”

@nathanielwalto4 added: “How can the same team play so different”

@HarryPattison3 commented: “still 18th just would of been nice to make some distance, we move”

@louisC_M tweeted: “Need to dust ourselves off and go again, still in our hands”

@xBlackenedSky added: “Beaten by a far better side and didn't finish our chances in the first half once again. Need points from our next game desperately.”

@boroweasel said: “Bristol City just had far too much quality for us. We weren't completely awful, tuesdays game is massive now”

@CCass6 posted: “Lost for words. One step forwards and two steps back doesn’t even do this justice, it’s criminal how many players consistently perform badly and still start”

@OnceAFarmer tweeted: “Really frustrating performance from #Boro - should have been brimming with confidence after the Millwall performance but looked like rabbits in the headlights. If Roberts takes either chance at 2-0 we could have thrown the kitchen sink at them, but on both of occasions indecisive”

@AyresomeGates commented: “Better team won. Move on. 4 points should be enough?!”
