Worst missed sitter by a Boro player at The Riverside?

[Erimus74]

Looking at the replay he sort of hit the ball hoping to put it back across the keeper leaning back & totally got it all wrong, he's the last player I would criticise, each game he's the one who runs himself in to the ground, never gives up, his mis didn't affect his game, he instantly got up & chased the defender to try & win the ball back

Love his attitude since he came to the club

Fletchers miss was pretty bad but his only mitigating factor was his reaction to a save rather than being put on a plate for him.

Ashley Fletcher with two goals in two starts for Watford.. in the league cup against Palace and Stoke. Yet to start in the league.

 

[Steer]

I felt sorry for him. He is a lively player, and has done well for us. We want all forwards to be in a confident mindset. Let's hope he gets on the scoresheet soon and this can be forgotten about - whether he scores a worldie or a tap in almost doesn't matter.

Didn't Ravanelli miss pretty much an open goal once? (albeit on his right foot which we know was just for standing on).

He did yeah although as you say it was on his right and he was also stretching/sliding

This is a deviation from what the OP was asking but this miss by Kanu must be the worst one by an opposition team?
At 2:10

Lee Dong Gook missed plenty of sitters, in fact he missed pretty much everything

Except at Mansfield in the cup. A tap in which got the chant “The Gooks on Fire” going. That song was doused out minutes later when he missed an absolute sitter on half time.

Remember Alves(?) missing when put clean through against Pompey, just after Marlon KIng had equalised in stoppage time. Happy Days!

His worst was missing an open goal v Brum which would have made it 3-0 and earned me a decent pay out from Ladbroke as I had a 3-0/Wheater first goal double

 

[Borobarmy]

Britt had a few.

Oh and how much of a good chuckle he had after !

 

[Borobarmy]

Sorry to be an old git and bring Ayresome Park into the equation BUT Billy Ashcroft v Orient in the cup - the pain still wrenches me

Aye, that could have been our year.

Yes against Derby when we won 6-1 I think

 

[TeessideCleveland]

Just watched it on sky tweet. It looks worse the more you watch it. Simply don't know how you could miss. He still had a good game and run himself into the ground.



Fletcher at Huddersfield. I know it was away but one of the worst recently.

Oh yeah forgot that one!
It was away, but.... wow!

I thought about the Kanu one too.

 

[festa5]

Suppose I can let him off then given he still bagged a hat-trick. In any case I'm sure it'll have been Beck's fault.

 

[Nero]

Gestede against Swansea.

That was away wasn't it?

 

[chickenrunner]

Move on man, move on!

 

[Norman_Conquest]

Surely it's got to be Adam Traore missing the coach for Barnsley away.

Traore left out of Boro squad after turning up late for team bus

Traore, Marvin Johnson and Ryan Shotton were absentees from the Boro squad of 18 at Oakwell

Pity the David Currie miss back in the early 80's wasn't on TV, it'd be nice to compare it to last nights. My memory is hazy now, it was so long ago, but I think Curries miss was still probably worse!!

think Curries was worst against Carlisle there is a brilliant photo of the crowds incredulous reaction after he missed, one my favourite photos (typical Boro fan remembering the miss more) from Ayresome park
