* The Unofficial "Official" Boro v Burnley Match-Day Thread *

[Fangdale Beck]

This will be 5 or 6

I'm not having that 2nd as Steffen's fault, he couldn't do anything until it went past the Boro defender and at that point it's too late.

Giles is mostly at fault for both goals, horrendous defending, it's like he doesn't known Benson is left footed.

Agreed giles at fault for the first 2. Should be closing the 2nd

 

[DonTheKing]

Don't think it matters who's in charge when your team is that bad, carrick is a genius clearly to even get this team to win any game.

 

[Alzi]

This is what “smashing” the league after a relegation looks like.

He got a firm hand on it and still couldn’t keep it out, it was hardly travelling at pace

 

[Yearbyred]

Own goal about sums up our defending the last 10 mins or so.

Got pushed back and let crosses come in against a good team and you’re asking for trouble.

Defending as much to blame as Steffen imo.

 

[Huddboro]

Dreadful from Howson there.

Clear foul before the corner. Ref has been awful.

 

[Fat_Dragon]

Totally fell apart

 

[r00fie1]

Conceded three goals in twelve minutes.

 

[Mickey_2003]

Benson is definately their best player today. Got Giles in his pocket.
Steffen, Cmon man, wtf is going on?

Burnley look to have 2 extra players on the pitch today somehow.

 

[Colgates_shaving_foam]

I've switched to watching the world cup friendly. Move on from this horror show of a second half.

 

[TheYorkshireTerrier]

I’ve put the World Cup 3rd vs 4th match on…

 

[breakthewallsdown]

Clutching at straws but this ref hasn't helped at all.. Started from our penalty shout which was a clear foul

 

[Scrug]

Welcome to the Boro Michael! This is what we do!

 

[r00fie1]

George Benson off.
Clarets obviously think thats it.

 

[MoggasDog]

Giles has been torn apart by benson

 

[Chris_Boro]

Ref has been awful but we have been the architects of our own downfall.

 

[ForssAwakens]

Clutching at straws but this ref hasn't helped at all.. Started from our penalty shout which was a clear foul

He’s been bad for both teams to be fair

 

[Willow]

Yeah, I hope that contract Giles signed on twitter wasn't binding, lol. Puts in a good ball but he's an awful defender.

 

[Priv]

Carricks partly to blame, they were ripping Giles to shreds yet didn’t roast McGree into helping him, we needed Bola to com on and play left back and move Giles forward as he would at least help out but he’s not an option.
