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

The problem with playing wing backs is when we havent got the ball the drop into 5 at the back. That gives even poor teams like Millwall invitaion to work the ball quite easily to within 30 yrds of our goal.

Then you only have to wait for one of our hapless defenders to gift them a goal
 
Jones is just so soft and offering nothing at the moment. Sadly it's looking more and more likely that we got carried away by his performances last season.
 
Jones and Crooks had a real purple patch last season but have been simply awful for months now. Neither deserve a shirt whilst players like Djiksteel and Giles are dropped? If Jones and Crooks continue to start we are in for a long hard season.

It's about time that we faced facts and accept that this is how it'll be while Gibson is in charge.
We know that we are basically unsellable due to the way our finances are structured and we all know that our recruitment is hampered by our location, lack of funds and inability to address the longstanding issues regarding creativity and midfield.
Whoever comes in will face those same issues and any purple patches will only be temporary respite before we return to the level we are at currently which is Championship also-rans.
Sadly, this is it unfortunately.

Our recruitment issues aren’t down to location or lack of funds, we have spent plenty in recent years on some fairly big name players. Wrong signings, wrong management and poor ownership is our issues
 
The diving from Crooks, Jones and McNair is killing us. We're constantly playing with at least 1 laid on the floor. Even if they get a free kick out the ref it's pointless as we never score FKs.

Big fees maybe when we had the parachute payments, but we've never got anyone decent in to address the issues in midfield or up top. Top championship players don't see us as a viable option anymore.

How many times as Crooks gave the ball away today... Ive lost count... struggled all day to make a simple pass!!! Shocking div 1 player at best..

If Crooks has a hernia, he really shouldn't be on a football pitch.
Stupidity in repeatedly playing an injured/restricted footballer.

The team is diabolical, it is not any one player.
