Dijksteel, O'Brien, Thomas, Silvera

Strange and unnecessary thread for me, the only one is Dijksteel but he’s very very rusty. The rest did okay and I thought O’Brien was good.
The thread is real - I'm making the comment these 4 players weren't very good tonight.

We needed 11 players on their game to beat Leeds, and we didn't.

Not saying any should be strung up, they just didn't have the best games.
 
I think Silvera could do with a loan away next season personally and some regular games. Top end league 1 would do him well.
I wouldn't be against that. He has some skill and athleticism. He just isn't up to the physicality of the game at the minute. He has come from a very poor league.
 
Anyone who thinks that we should not sign Ayling should watch tonight's match. Dijksteel is simply not the player that he once was.

Thomas - mixed bag. Looked sketchy, but his challenge set us up for the 1st goal. Realy though I expected much much better when we signed him.

Silvera - I like the fact that he has a go a run ad a shot. But a squad player at very best.

O'Brien worked hard. Not that bad.

Yeah I just think he needs some regular games and then we judge it again from there. I don’t think playing here and there is doing him any favours. What I will say about him is he has a decent strike on him when cutting it but his overall play needs some work so yeah a loan may be best

Very Good summary
 
Dijksteel was awful. Probably the last time he plays for boro.

Didn't think Thomas was terrible. Thought he did OK. Didn't stand out as a bad performer for me personally.

I thought O'Brien did well. Drove forward with the ball but made one noticeable bad mistake when he missed the tackle for the third(?) goal.

Silvera is a waste of a shirt. That LF position has been a problem all season.

If we are going to list players who had a bad game then you should add VDB to the list because he had a stinker tonight. Him and Dijksteel got tortured down that right side.

Yeah VDB was poor tonight especially when they countered he was all over the shop at times sadly

Obrien had a mediocre first half and a very good second half.
There was nothing wrong with silvera's contribution. He needs to strengthen up a bit. He will be much better next season.
I thought there were times when Silvera could have played teammates in and decided to go past his man and shoot. Maybe he would benefit from going on loan as Diago suggested.

I wouldn't be against that Norman. I guess the coaches will make a deciding in the summer but I expect him to be on a strength building regime.

He does some good stuff and makes bad decisions sometimes.
