*The Unofficial "official - "The Chase is on" - Boro v Stoke. Match-Day Thread*

Out passing is poor that's why Stoke are dominating.
But stoke are also pressing us very well and closing the space for us, they are being much more aggressive in there play than us and unfortunately are dominating us, we need to pick a point up tonight and move on!
 
Shame for them as they’d be playoff minimum if they were like this all season.
They were awful in the reverse fixture.
 
Yet somehow they've only had their first real shot of the dominant period?? For all the being overall in Midfield we actually haven't defended too badly?

I accept that but, passed under no pressure at all are going amiss. We have been poor on the ball.
 
About as bad as I've seen us in a while this. Has that old feeling of us conceding an inevitable winner about it. Just so scrappy, passes not sticking, constantly underhit or overhit and sloppy.
Gotta give credit to stoke they are pressing us and winning the midfield, look how quick they get back and close the space
 
Just one of those games, passes all slightly the wrong weight and played just behind instead of just in front. Important we don't lose at least. We won't play many sides as good as this during the run in.
