* The Unofficial "Official" Boro v Blackburn Rovers Match-Day Thread *

Lucky to just be one down. They look like creating something everytime they come forward.

Crooks isn't a centre forward. Forss isn't a right winger and has had a stinker. McGree is having a poor game, he's very inconsistent and hasn't done anything of note since coming back.

We have somehow undone everything positive we've been doing and played players out of position to Blackburns advantage, seemingly for no reason.

Changes in personnel and formation needed IMO.
 
Dreadful this. New formation just not working.
It's not really a different formation, just different personnel in the RW and CF roles, neither of which has worked. I'd bring Muniz on at CF and Jones on the right wing at half time. Then Watmore on for McGree after 15 mins
 
Forrs up top, Crooks off, Jones/Watmore out right.
I fancy Watmore v Ayala is a defo red card or penalty.
McGree can have another 15 mins but looking a bit off
 
Still think we need a destroyer in our team, there’s fook all in the middle of the park who can actually take the ball off the opposition.

Howson has been quite wasteful with the ball today too
 
I think some people have been waiting for a chance to criticise Carrick. We haven't been all that bad, the goal hurt us a bit and Blackburn being able to sit back nullified any threat we could have had with this line up. If they don't take an early lead, it's a different game. There'll be changes at half time. Either Watmore or Jones will be on. And I think we need to get Hackney off before he gets sent off.

Would like to see a replay of that goal. I know Championship referees are terrible but I almost believe that someone MUST have been playing him onside as there's no way they made a decision that bad.

I think he might have done it but for Hackney, his booking a handful of fouls since complicated the subs somewhat.
 
maybe I'm watching a different game, two teams playing well, missed the replays on their goal but looked a mile offside live. We've had chances and will continue to do so, as will they. They are 3rd in the league and at home, would be unrealistic to expect us to dominate them. Forss out wide hasn't worked and I think not having Jones threat out right has allowed them to close down Giles. Looking forward to the 2nd half
 
Some of these muppets texting in to. Bbc tees they just can’t wait can they until the knives come out.
agreed, no manager will get every team selection right, no manager will win every game. I'm in
I think Carrick must see something in Crooks that nobody else sees. He not a forward.

And Forrs looks like a fish out of water on the right.

40 mins wasted on an experiment.
when he grows his hair he's a bit Marouane Fallaini
 
Good game. I’ve enjoyed it. We’ve *possibly* been the better side but they’re picking us off too many times. Forss down the right isn’t working. Crooks is having a hard night. That hole in the middle of our midfield has reappeared. But I think we’ve played well TBF.
Give over Viv that was a terrible performance.
Really poor team selection and some terrible performances.
Our fans understandably flat. That’s a good gauge.
He desperately needs to change things and introduce some urgency.
Fingers crossed for second half.
 
I think there’s still hope in this game… like has been said, a re jig of personnel is needed…
I criticised jones contribution on Saturday with out realising his presence opened the pitch up for others to play better…
i think he needs to come on for hackney who’s playing ok but treading a tightrope and might get a second booking if he’s not careful…
 
I don't usually follow these match threads and doubt I will again. But having read just a couple of pages (that was enough) some of the comments are outrageous and out of all proportion to what's happening on the pitch. Some people appear to be incapable of keeping their emotions in check because they're losing a football game - at half time. Thank God we have somebody with a calm head in charge.

Muniz 🤣 the Brazilian statue with as much mobility as Kris boyd
