* The Unofficial "Official" Boro v Bristol City Match-Day Thread *

[Blindschool]

The players don’t seem to demand enough from each other. Heads just drop when a goal goes in and an acceptance.

If there one thing that doesn't happen is our heads going down. How many times have we come back from a goal down?

We've come from behind more times than any other team in the league haven't we?

 

[coluka]

Crooks is not a forward, smith keeps getting drawn to the ball leaving his man, Hackney thinks he’s back at Scunthorpe, the entire defence is shocking, but apart from that, it is going well

 

[h_m_boro]

We have been a bit shaky at the back but dominated the forward play! Despite being 1 down now.

We haven't dominated the forward play. They could/should had 3......we have had Chubas bad miss and that's it. No attempts on target. It's frustrating as they are no great shakes and - without sounding condescending to them - these are the games we should be winning if we want to go up.

Big second half - we CAN turn this around

 

[the_holgate_roof]

Boro to win 2-1, we always play better second half and score our goals second half, Akpom and Ramsay to score.

 

[Glover_elbow]

Every defender ****ed up there, weak pissy header from Giles, Lenihan fell over, McNair dives in trying to cover as does smith behind him!

If there was a stat for diving in on your backside and missing the tackle paddy would be top of the championship

 

[Laughing]

Careful now no place for that kind of positivity on here.

I can't be doing with the nonsense that gets posted on the Match-Day threads if we don't walk the game.

 

[Chappy112]

If we can't give Barlaser a go when we're playing this poorly then I genuinely don't see the reason we bought him.

We don't even really look like scoring and we're rocking every time they go at us.

 

[Jedi boro]

Chuba scores that early chance different game.

Come on

 

[kuepper]

That goal started from a poor defensive header from Giles, then a total comedy of errors from our defence, Smith and Lenihan poor.
It's not always McNairs fault!

Agree, not sure why Mcnair seems to get the blame for everything on here. I think he's been ok today and saved one likely goal with a last ditch tackle

They will score again we are wide open

#freebarlaser

 

[Jedi boro]

Fk me Charlie Adam has changed hasn’t he

 

[Soutra]

Hackney and Crooks need the hook.

Archer and Barlaser should be on.

 

[Borokian1876]

We are a awful side defensively not even average. Poor

 

[Ipad1977]

Tommy smith is gash pass it on

As gash as they come mate

Though tbh the reverse jinx often only works for attacking players.

 

[Chappy112]

What utter crap

They've been clearly the better side, created the better chances and are deservedly winning.

 

[allied_assault]

This team selection is totally wrong
Tommy Smith is looking the bang average player I always thought he was
Crooks up front wtf!
Archer Mcgree and any right back needs to come on at half time

 

[Smogonsea]

Looking jaded. Hook Hackney for Barlaser. Let’s see if we can grind this out.

 

[SmogonOuseburn]

They have been relying on the long ball behind our full backs, and could have scored that way earlier. We need to change things at half time - maybe Dijksteel for Smith or McNair?
