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

[TheWolfman]

When did chuba turn into Zidane his composure in the middle is excellent. Relieves pressure so well.

Forss doing his best watmore impression, worked his socks off. Hope he gets a few chances. Done well

Fry and lenihan forward balls into the middle area are really good too

 

[Funky_Chicken]

I’ve been impressed with our two front men - Forss is making their back line very nervy, always asking questions and he’s quick, i can see him getting himself a goal. Chewy is having another good game and buried his second opportunity of the game after skying his first. We still look a bit open defensively and McGree is so weak on the ball he’s a bit of a worry whenever he receives the ball in our half, loses it far too easily. Overall we should be happy with that first half though, albeit against a pretty poor looking Hull side

 

[Jedi boro]

Don't know if this has already been mentioned, but this is the same ref who gave nothing when Fry was kicked in the face vs Blackburn. But happy to dish out two yellows to us within the first five minutes for innocuous fouls.

I thought I knew the name

 

[sambaDTR]

Just don’t give any daft free kicks or corners away and we will win this.

Not sure what it is with McGree, his touch and ball retention is really poor at times, both tonight and at the weekend too. The lad has a bit of quality about him but he looks all over the place at times*

*queue a Riley McGree second half midfield masterclass.

 

[Alwaysaborolad]

Mcgree has been poor again, never looks in control of the ball, and weak in any tackles, but not sure who to replace him with?

You didn't need to include the word "daft".

 

[TheWolfman]

Surprised by forss, he actually looks pacey. I can see him nicking one off their cbs. Previous games looked a little slow.

I see him pulling out of challenges, getting pushed off the ball. Petrified of getting injured before the World Cup?

Crazy not to use him.

Bizarre from
Wilder truly odd

 

[Ravshoutsatbeck]

I don't think McGree has been as bad as people on here are saying, but definitely not his best game.

I still like the way he looks to get on the ball and turn. Also like his movement off the ball - looking for space between the lines.

Think he is worth persisting with.

 

[allied_assault]

Two teams very low on confidence, imperative we scored first and we look SO much better since the goal. There’s more goals here for us.

They are there for the taking
We can’t screw this one up!

Yes we said the same looks that way doesn’t it.

He’s shadowing the ball without putting in tackles

Needs to see control the ball quicker. Giles away possession far too easily

Carrick will work with him. He obviously sees enough to have faith in giving him a start. Hope he has a good second half coz he could kick on from there.

 

[Jedi boro]

Danger

Great save

 

[futureboy]

Jones has just ruined two breakaways in the space of 30 seconds.

 

[Jedi boro]

Some great link up play

 

[Badonde]

Chuba great touch
