* The Unofficial “Official” Middlesbrough v Sunderland “TEES_WEAR DERBY” [02/25] Match-Day Thread *

[Laughing]

Ayling had been awful tonight. I mean really poor.

He has put a couple of decent balls in but mistake after mistake from him.

 

[Block21]

We've been poor since we scored. Need a big push for the last 15 it's still there to be won

 

[BumTrumpet57]

Ayling and Edmondson are well below the standard required and it’s not the first time, second time, third……..

 

[NormanbyRed77]

Ayling been off it since coming back from injury for me.

 

[Powerhouse]

We are picking up cheap cards trying to get back to defend.

 

[breakthewallsdown]

Illing is looking lost for me.

No idea what you’ve been watching, looked positive and done a lot more since he came on that Whittaker did on the right

 

[Laughing]

Sunderland concede a lot of late goals, worst in the championship.

 

[Mysonpat.]

Dijksteel probably is.

Gone fella, either now or at the end of the season.

 

[Otto42]

Gone off the boil again….fear a Makem winner

 

[Mysonpat.]

We've been poor since we scored. Need a big push for the last 15 it's still there to be won

Gone back in our shell...we are a weired team.

 

[BumTrumpet57]

Sunderland concede a lot of late goals, worst in the championship.

Ayling and Edmondson have just said “hold our pints”

 

[Juninhoburger]

Ayling has largely been a F***ing liability since we gave him a contract

 

[NormanbyRed77]

Get Fry on FFS

 

[ForssAwakens]

Been an excellent game for the neutral advertising the championship

has felt like a proper derby

 

[Mysonpat.]

come on Boro, last 10 give it everything.

 

[Subbuteo_171]

Does Burgzorg ever win the ball in a challenge?

 

[sherlock]

Burgzorg run his socks off tonight, impressive work rate.

 

[borolad259]

Does Burgzorg ever win the ball in a challenge?

Yes, several in this game.

 

[Norman_Conquest]

No idea what you’ve been watching, looked positive and done a lot more since he came on that Whittaker did on the right

He had a couple of decent runs in his first minute and looks like he's going to be a tidy player but is playing on the right rather than the left which he favours. He keeps trying to go inside on his left and struggled to get his feet sorted.

I'm certainly not writing him off, but playing out of position on your debut won't help anyone.

 

[sherlock]

You’ve got to laugh….
