Official Unofficial Match Thread. Come On Boro!

Kinda mad really the difference in opinion towards Pulis and Warnock when this team is only fractionally better at scoring than Pulis' team.
 
We need to lose one of the central midfielders and get someone in the number 10 to help the cf. We are making it far to easy for teams with only one up to from the start.
Thats why we did well when Howson was out, we only played with 2 defensive midfielders and not 3 !
 
6 defeats in 8, but i’s sure warnock will say something funny in his presser... Season over. If fans were in ground they may have feelings know.
 
Warnock and his team are obviously very slow learners as it is obvious that the 3 man midfield stating set up does not work. If we start it again against Huddersfield the radio is getting switches off.
 
I don’t think Warnock got it right today..

I would have liked to have seen us with five at the back with wingbacks pushing forward. lots of new attacking options atm but not so much up to speed yet.

Johnson looked good when he came on
Good to see Hall back in the side
More minutes for Fletcher
Mendez-Laing looks promising
Can't play wingbacks now we've signed 4 wingers. Need to drop Saville for Tav or play someone alongside Britt.
ML looks like he's got good feet but too much timber to burst past a man.
Johnson's done nothing wrong and should be back in the team.
Kebano looks quality. Always looking to go forward.
Move djiksteel back to RB. Get Hall or fry alongside paddy.
Need to pick up a scrappy win from somewhere to get the confidence back, as we've got the players to make a push for the playoffs.

We’ve signed Bolasie who was out, Mendez Laing who only came on a sub today after not playing all season, Watmore plays more at a striker/number 10 and then there’s Kebano.. who has looked decent.
NML has always looked big.. he might be a bit off just now because he has missed so much football.
Tav is not even in the team right now to be dropped.

Think they meant put him in for Saville, but he's not ready yet
 
We deserved 3 points that is all. BoroMart your comment about that first goal (your goalkeeper) sorry but you need to wake up and look at your goalkeeper because he was LOOKING for it. Our second goal what a goal you love to see it. 😍🐏👍❤️ I still think your goal should been disallowed due the foul on Gregory few seconds before that. You won't make the play offs with Saville Howson Morsy together to be honest. I pointed out few weeks ago that you need a quality striker and you failed to bring one in during January transfer. Good luck for the rest of the season. Mid table for your lot IMO (11th-13th place that's all I can say)

By the way check on Roofie he gone quiet since 5pm. That comments about his hair transplant and Rooney responded with THREE POINTS CHEERS ROOFIE. 👍🐏

In that you scored one more goal than us, which is how these things are decided, I suppose so.

But fella you are a poor team, I mean bad. CKR will never hit another shot as sweetly if he plays till he gets his card from the Queen. First goal as you say our keeper thought he would get the foul, fair play to the ref. How your left sided Polish(?) player didn't get a second yellow for dive after dive will remain a mystery.

Enjoy your Saturday night.
 
I agree to an extent about the Djiksteel and McNair pair not "working" but neither of their goals was their fault. The first, I've only seen once (that was enough) and for me Betternelly goes down thinking he will get a decision. Second is just a thunderbolt and nothing CKR did before or after looked like it, for the briefest of moments his body was possessed by the ghost of Carlos Alberto.
He might have gone down looking at the ref, but he had been impeded first and would have been off balance and out of position. He is a poor keeper, it's an issue, but he should have got the foul given, most GKs would.

CKR had the ball knocked down to him too easy, and had no pressure on him for the shot. The CBs have to compete better than that. I don't like either of Dijksteel or McNair in a flat back 4 particularly. They both play better with the security of a spare man sweeping behind them. CKR did bully our CBs, as did the ex0Millwall forward. We lack height and muscle at the back, I would have got Hall on after 30 mins to be honest, he is limited but he won't be pushed around like those two.
We're desperate to get Fry and Tav back.

as above Tavy is really important:

W:10 D:6 L:6 with Tav, 36 points in 26 games
W:1 D1: L:5 without Tav just 4 points in 7 games

We collapse when he isn't fit.
