* The Unofficial "Official" Boro v Preston [02/24] Match-Day Thread *

[pierrequiroule]

Definite penalty for me. The defender has his arm on Forss's shoulder and holds him back. Clear to me.

 

[Uncle_Albert]

Unfortunately this is what happens when we don’t sign a striker when one is desperately needed, we can play up until the final third and then produce nothing, every time
Also that goal looks like another howler for Glover, unless his vision was obstructed

 

[futureboy]

Honestly, I've almost had it. We're bad enough as it is without having games consistently spoiled by poor officiating. Makes me wonder why I bother sometimes.

 

[AytonMews]

Pardon???

Before the deflection on their shot, it had a 3 in 100 chance of going in.

And yet here we are, 1-0 down.

 

[parmoboy]

If Silvero is the answer, I don't want to hear the question.

I'd have preferred for Silvera to have started tonight, if it would have meant Forss could have played up front to be honest.

How has he not worked out by now that Greenwood isn't a striker?

 

[BumTrumpet57]

We look toothless in attack. I’m sure Carrick will say it will come soon and we have quality up top. It’s also not the end of the world because football is football and it is what it is.

 

[Blindschool]

We need to be a bit more better in the 2nd half.

Maddo would say 'you need to be a bit more better'

 

[AytonMews]

If Silvero is the answer, I don't want to hear the question.

“For £1, can you misspell the name of a Boro winger?”

 

[Jedi boro]

If a player is running too fast so can’t change direction 180 degrees? There was minimal contact

That’s at the other end it’s getting given 100%

 

[Robbieboro]

That was a penalty for me, Forss changed direction and the defenders arm came across him to stop him being able to reach the ball. This has to be the last time Glover plays ! Almost identical goal to Sunderland

 

[viv_andersons_nana]

We were looking pretty decent until they scored. We’ve lost our way since then. We are desperate for a striker. Absolutely desperate. I still think if we get one we could get 2 or 3. Preston are absolute dogsh*t. As much as we’re struggling at the moment, I’m glad I don’t have to watch that every week. Just a shame our goalkeeper’s hands seem to be made out of smoke.

Maddo would say 'you need to be a bit more better'

Maddo would say 'you need to be a bit more better on the football pitch

 

[Jedi boro]

We’re losing because we allow the opposition to get shots off on the edge of our box

shot

 

[futureboy]

We are desperate for a striker. Absolutely desperate. I still think if we get one we could get 2 or 3.

Yeah, but we don't create many clear-cut chances. And when we do, the defenders apparently have carte blanche to foul in the box.

 

[B_G]

It's a massive improvement from the Sunderland and Bristol matches.

Fire the bullets at Scott for the lacking of cutting edge up front.

On the whole we've performed at better

 

[allied_assault]

He doesn't seem to link up with anyone on the right. That used to be our strongest attacking tactic.

Dijksteel needs to come on

 

[Norfolkred1]

Surely the job of the Ref ass to see and flag it, yeah whatever.

 

[Merlin]

I’m here - three words
1.Dire
2.Penalty
3.Glover

 

[Brick_Tamland]

Do they sprint back 70 yards and keep an easy shot out at the near post like?!

Apt username

?

I'm talking about our low scoring of late. Go a goal behind and it is a mountain for us to climb.

 

[Yearbyred]

Thought it was a penalty when I first watched it, but Forss was pulling the defender as much as he was being held back.

So flimsy at the back though and our final pass is always slightly off at the moment.
