* The Unofficial "Official" Boro v West Brom Match-Day Thread *

[Chappy112]

No one fancy putting a tackle in?

 

[dribble]

It was a clear push but our defending is woeful. We just ballwatch constantly and are just pi$$ poor . No pace they are just running through the midfield.

 

[alvez_49]

Toothless absolutely toothless x2

All we needed was Howson back.

 

[Rauko]

You need pace and power in this league .. we lack both

 

[Colgates_shaving_foam]

That's a terrible goal to conceed, too soft there.

 

[Liamo]

clear foul

Yeah, even the West Brom commentators were laughing about it being a foul and how they'd got away with it.

Woesome defending for the second though - everybody just kept backing off him.

 

[Yearbyred]

That was appalling defending, just backed off and let him run.

Glad I didn’t pay to watch.

 

[coluka]

Woeful from Boro there, absolutely spineless defending

 

[sparkins]

Long way back now. Defensively shambolic

Edit - what a header!

 

[TeaCider]

Seriously? he was only shoved with 2 hands I suppose.

Nudged.

Howson barely moved an inch.

Could say the same for the second goal, just lazily running back.

 

[ThePrisoner]

Defence parted like the Red Sea did for Moses

 

[Glover_elbow]

That was shît no challenges at all

 

[alvez_49]

2-1

 

[TeaCider]

Great goal to get back in it.

Excellent cross, excellent header.

 

[Yearbyred]

Good response

 

[coluka]

Yey Latte Lath ……. the new Micky Burns

gerrrrin to em

 

[SuperStu]

I'd have been raging if that had been given as a foul against us.

It's just lazy, static defending.

Howson was barely touched.

Agree, too soft to realistically expect that to be given as a foul.

Should Howson be man marking a 6 ft 4 player at set pieces?

FFS can't even finish typing a reply about 1 goal and another 2 go in.

 

[Archiestephens_elbow]

Carik in

 

[Colgates_shaving_foam]

Get in!

That's more like it Boro

 

[dribble]

Is Hackney injured or just very slow.
