We are awful

Only ones who showed a bit of character 1st half were Hackney and Watmore.

Hackney lost the ball a lot but at least he tried to receive the ball on the half-turn and almost every time he received it he tried to be positive and beat his man with his first touch.
Yeah was pleased with Watmore he did well at times and Hackney as you say tried but did look out of his depth in my opinion. Player I just can’t get my head around is Dael Fry. Honestly, he was so bad.

Thought Hackney looked totally out of his depth today, I'd have subbed him off far earlier.

But then half the team deserved subbing.
 
Hackney did well, he was one of the few trying to take on a man instead of the normal Boro way of turning round and playing it backwards.
He tried and persevered but almost everything he tried never worked and resulted in them winning possession and breaking on us.
 
There is no use picking on individual players.
There is no use slamming Percovich.

The problems at the club are much more serious.
An owner who doesn't invest, make good decisions or communicate.
A "Head of Football" model that nobody is clear about and has no accountability.
A "Head of Football" that has only ever been a chubby scout.

Gibson wasn't even there today.
 
Spineless. No heart or desire. Players taking the easy option. Dael Fry was shambolic today. Played the easy option or just smashed it out of play.

I think we could be playing league 1 next season if we make a balls of this appointment.
Yeah, one of the main discussions around my area was Fry's 'distribution'.......
 
Speaking of awful… how can McGree, as an international professional footballer, deliver the type of corner he attempted? 2-1 down in injury time, the very least he needs to do is put it in the mixer. He hits the first man, who could have potentially even left it to go out for a GK. Sums us up at the minute
 
Fry just pinging it down the right channel and out of touch was infuriating.

Also, in my opinion, Matt Crooks needs taking out of the team. He's a shadow of the player he was.

It smacks of the Woodgate season where you look at the fixtures and it seems there are just no winnable games.

Set pieces were all pretty poor today, delivery, communication, movement.

McGree had the a few great chances, to shoot, cross and play a set piece in and he excited all of them very poorly.

Anyone else think Giles was struggling fitness or mobility wise?

He's normally such a clean crosser or striker of the ball and most of his passes/crosses today seemed a bit off compared to his high standards.

Crooks was better than he has been I thought, he almost scored and had a few nice touches and interplay with others, but he wasn't anywhere near the highs of last season (well last year now really).
 
The only player who can take any credit today is Watmore. Jones was ok when he came in but the rest should hang their heads.

The whole club is a shambles and we only see what’s on the pitch. Support was fantastic again today and you get that. Scandalous!
