I thought he was really poor today, going through a bad spell at the moment, a rest might do him good.
Tav - so I'll ask it again...

Doesn't score.
Doesn't assist.
Shooting is woeful.
Set pieces are pathetic (looks like he's been took off them thank god).
Often loses the ball.
I'd personally be a lot more lenient with him if he had 2 or 3 of the above attributes. I really don't know why people are defending him these days, like other posters have said, he's had 6/7 games centrally now and he's had no impact at all.
He works hard yea, I get that, but we need a LOT more.

Whoaaaaa!! Steady on there!
He's a key part of the team and how it functions. If people can't see it that's on them.We beat a team that looked to be running away to promotion in a tremendous contest. Which team were you supporting?

His team drew 1-1 in League One today. Imagine that

Played his part. Grafted hard and some nice interplay.
Some people are obsessed with jumping on any error and I'm unclear on why.

Exactly. Sat looking at one player and judging every aspect. Probably joined in with the Sporar song (no goals from open play for how long!) or glossed over any other players failings

Played a nice pass to Sporar for his shot late in the second half, arguably should’ve been on the end of a 1-2 instead.

I love Tav and he’s still the first name on the team sheet for me. Keep on keeping on. Clearly Chris Wilder loves him and I love Chris Wilder too. You boo boys can go and do one. We’ve not lost in 6.

Unbelievable sometimes Boro fans. Can't get behind an academy product with bags of potential (who is, as I've had to say multiple times this season) our primary creative outlet and has been pivotal to the majority of successes we've seen this season.
Yes, Tav is frustrating, but look at what he does when off the ball. Look at how his position in our attacking play essentially motivates the bulk of our forward runs. Look at the creative opportunities we do see when he is able to provide. The lad is highly rated, but is ultimately starting at a staple Championship club (which we are and have been for much if the last decade) - he's not going to be the finished article and this is his first season in a side which arguably shouldn't be settling for mediocrity, the fact he's shown such promise this season is progress enough.
Lad clearly loves being at the Boro, just wish supporters would recognise this and praise him for the things he gets right rather than slaughtering a high potential work in progress for the things he does not. We will miss him when he goes and shines elsewhere.

Well put.
also was the instigator in the move that led to Hernandez's offside goal.

It is a game of opinions as in another thread you said that Howson oozed class today, yet his sloppy lay off in the first half put their forwards through with a 3 on 2 situation and the fact they missed it was down to their incompetence rather than our good defending. I personally think Howson is a good player but to say he oozed class today seems a bit wide of the mark when you are criticising another of our players who did pretty well linking defence with attack I thought.

Rob what does that comment answer. You cannot keep sticking up for players like Tav who has been woeful all season.

I don't think I said he oozed class anywhere.
