* The Unofficial "Official" 23/24 Championship Season. Boro v Millwall Match-Day Thread *

[Teesste]

Maybe this will show them we need signings ASAP and the squad isn't good enough right now

I’m pretty sure they already knew that

 

[alvez_49]

When you say everything is running through him, what do you mean mate?

Coz we’ve done Fu(k all today

He can only help he's a deep lying playmaker, unlike Hayden who's done his best Gary O Neil impression all day.

 

[UTB70]

Still got the poor form from dregs of last season. Maybe weve been sussed out.

 

[DonTheKing]

Gonna struggle this year, very poor team.

 

[Priv]

Hackney’s been pretty poor today as well.

 

[Jonny Ingbar]

I think they are probably aware of that!

 

[r00fie1]

Its a team game.
The ball went across the goal with four red shirts looking on.

 

[allied_assault]

If Barlaser thinks he can stroll through a Championship season at walking pace he’s in for a rude awakening.

He’s not very good

 

[Ipad1977]

It's the first game and the transfer window hasn't closed yet.

Plus Millwall aren't loads better than us as Bif seems to think at all, even with us only having half a team. Stats are pretty even and we should have been 1-nil up anyway.

 

[Teesste]

Today doesn't say anything about how this season will go. We're missing both right backs, our most important midefielder and our best attacking player. Plus we're going to have at least 2 or 3 more signings to come in. The side that we have in September will be very different to the side we have out there today.

Can you please not post anything sensible on here this afternoon… the doom-mongers have been waiting months to have another good old moan and to write our season off after 80 minutes of football.

 

[Normanby_Red]

Blessing in disguise perhaps? Might be a wake up call for recruitment to get some lads through the door asap

 

[Chris_Boro]

Why are we so useless at crossing?

 

[Chappy112]

Feels exactly like Coventry, a complete lack of ideas and look open at the back.

It would be crazy if one goal against the run of play made us press the panic button. I would like to think we have a more measured approach to signing players.

 

[S7DiscoDown]

I'm guessing we've just given up on corners now? I've never seen so many short ones and not even crossed into the box

Hopefully this 'ages well' lol

Exactly this, the result today, whichever way it went, won't define our season.

I've said all along we'll find it difficult to replace the talent we have lost, but we'll still be stronger than today in a couple of key positions.

He's not posted anything sensible he's assuming we're going to sign 3 players that are senior first team players.

He's claiming Howson who's a year older is our best midfielder (well that's painful if true).

The fact is 80% of the teams we play will do this. Sit deep, pick us off on the counter.

Let's pray Akpom stays and is good.

Against the run of play? I agree with your wider point but Millwall fully deserve to be winning, we're lucky they haven't scored 2 or 3.

 

[Jonathan]

Dunno how we went from a team where if we went behind I still felt confident we'd at least get a draw, if not win under Carrick, to this and the back end of last season where we go behind and just look toothless.

The Boro App has buried its head in the sand.
