* The Unofficial "Official" Boro v Sheffield Wednesday Match-Day Thread *

[newusername]

No offence to Crooks & Coburn but they are a substantial downgrade on Archer & Akpom.
We're playing pretty football in midfield but you can tell when they are looking to play the ball in there is nothing to play it to.

Sheff Wed aren't even bothering to track runs, they are happy to retain their shape, as the build up is slow and all the movement is in front of them.

Engel.. we paid money for him. £1.75m!! Who the f in hells name scouted him?
Huge downgrade on Bola.

Engel makes bola look like roberto carlos. Recruitment team need sacking for that signing alone. As for silvera on the other side hes not even a dicky dancer just an absolute fanny

 

[Duffman]

we’ve got happless Michael Carrick
He has no idea what we need
Dael Fry passes back
A wardrobe in attack
We are falling out the league

 

[MFCJ]

I'd love to hear what kieran Scott has to say, instead Carrick will have to front up for the whole club to try & defend this mess. The silence from the top is a disgrace

 

[Boyfromtheboro]

Confidence is pretty much spent with us right now. We’ve got no talisman who can lift the team. I’d love to see what Carrick is seeing in training as there is so much gash on display right now. He needs to change at half time not on 70 minutes.

 

[Jedi boro]

Genuinely never seen a fullback get done more than Engel tonight

Every single time

Even coburn covered him

 

[Scrug]

GET ENGEL OFF.

 

[Chappy112]

Engel and Silvera must have won a competition.

Coburn while not playing bad offers absolutely nothing up front, it's alright saying he's a great finisher but he doesn't have the pace or movement of Latte Lath.

Don't think Carrick has a clue what he's doing to be honest, can tell with all the changes every game. I hate saying that after what he did last season.

 

[lostinyorkshire]

thing is they are playing a real high line. its made for latte l who does the opposition scouting ? did they not say high line pace beats them? no we pick this game to give coburn no chance whatsoever. pathetic

 

[Nobby_Barnes]

Isn't it obvious we need to DOUBLE UP on the right winger....what's Carrick doing about it ????

 

[Sheriff_John_Bunnell_ret]

Get Smith on for Engel. Howson for rav. Jones for Silvera.

 

[Connor_loft]

We're not allowed to criticise Coburn.

Shouldn’t be up to our only striker to mark a player making a run, where’s our midfielders? Embarrassing performance this I fear for Saturday

 

[Diego]

How is Jones not in this team

 

[SmogOnTheTees]

Engel getting skinned every time.
Mcgree can't keep the ball beyond 2 seconds.
Hackney making mistakes.
Starting Crooks when last season he was nowhere near yhe first team.
Silvera can't control his feet.
Carrick needs to stick a rocket up this lot, but I think he's too mild to shout at them.

 

[Trug]

There is no passion, no heart, no movement, no Idea. SW are shyte but we are not anywhere near them.
If anyone remembers Yak's performance against Wigan, we have 11 Yaks on the pitch here.

 

[Red n White Dreamer]

They are playing for Carrick to be sacked. I've never seen such a heartless performance.
Think they will get their wish but sadly Woodgate will step in

 

[Diego]

GET ENGEL OFF

 

[Teesste]

No it wasn’t, Coburn tracked the man back to the byline, Hackney was stood watching when the lad ran in behind him.

Hackney was inside the 6 yard box when the ball goes in.. if he tracks back any further he’ll be half way down Leppings Lane.

Fry was lost in the middle of the goal picking no one up

 

[Blf]

So far we have had nearly a good shot and an almost dangerous attack.
That's my lot. Hopefully it's me that's the jinx and we will have a massive recovery in the 2nd half while I'm watching the champions league.
