Match thread

[Jack Halford]

Long way to go but in January we need:

1. Another central midfielder with energy.

2. Striker.

3. Another wide right player to put some pressure on Phillips.

Be good to win today to take some pressure off the Leeds match.

Sounds like we are playing like we're pissed

[Duffers]

Seriously are folk expecting SJ never ever to make an error? First dodgy moment in months and talk of replacing him. Nonsense! He messed up. Sawyers went to sleep last match for their goal so do we get rid of im too? Jeez.

And we say the Seals are fickle...

Following the live updates on the sky sports app and seems like all Boro at the moment.

There's only 1 post talking about replacing him and I think most people would agree he's still hugely in credit having made some outstanding saves in the past few games.  Most comments simply say he should've done better for the goal, which is true. Same as Sawyers should've done better last week. 

Valid criticism of a single moment in a single match doesn't make anyone 'fickle' or a 'pant-wetter' same as praise where its due doesn't make anyone a 'happy-clapper'. 

There's a few on here that love to get their Tarring brush out...


Having said all that, it's all Boro at the minute and the world is darkness and pain

Yes. It is his weak point and something he needs to work on without doubt but he is still points in credit.

Sounds to me like the whole team are poor again and this was probably coming.

Lets at least make a game of it in the second half because they are no sweats. We just have to put them under some sustained pressure.

[Cunninghamismagic]

Blimey. That was poor. Half paced and laboured

[scotbaggie]

Where did our attack go? Was Diangana that important? When was the last time our "striker" HRK had a shot (and for that matter what has he 1 goal in a lot of matches)? Something needs to give here.

[Big Daddy Cool]

Another poor performance yet again. Bilic needs to sort it out. This is getting worrying.

[Brandywell]

Bench looks very uninspiring, what happened to our amazing squad
