Good post Josh

Josh and Lurker make decent points though I’m more inclined to agree with Josh. It’s not like we have great attacking quality to choose from and I think it was fair enough for Mason to set up at Boro a bit like Derby did with us last week, keep it tight and rely on the break. Main thing is that some important lessons are learnt, MJ should start, Jed I like but he shouldn’t start he’s a sub at best, Maja needs more time on the pitch and Collyer I would start alongside a Molumby playing deeper than he did yesterday. Price might just might need a rest. The whole Gilchrist v Campbell debate I don't know but tbh I don’t think Campbell has done much wrong.

As said by most posters Mikey needs to start at least at the expense of Jed, who is better this season than last.
One of my biggest irritations is when we get into a crossing position we hit the defender. Furlong used to frustrate the hell out of me. 
Maybe it is time to start with some if the new guys, not all at once though, to see what options we have. 
Maja liked anomomous to me when he came on.

We will win some games this year and we will lose some, and Mason’s primary task is to ensure we are competitive in every one. Yesterday was the first time this season I’ve felt we were not in the game, and the frustrating thing is that it wasn’t because Boro were far better, but because we deployed tactics that didn’t suit the lineup.

Mason is getting 70-80% right, and gets some slack whilst he’s still so limited in terms of the attackers he has available, but if he continues to fail to use what he does have in the way he’s shown against Derby and Boro, questions will rightfully be asked.

Leicester a big game now, we need to lay a glove on them.

Agreed.

This has to be said 52, a lot calling for Maja, myself included, but he’s done nothing of note in the rare minutes he’s had.
If you can’t score many you have to get clean sheets, but, despite an improved looking defence, we don’t look likely as we are too vulnerable to balls into the box.
We are not bad but not quite strong enough in any area of the pitch.

Agreed also. Johnston is unstoppable currently and doing so yesterday cost us dearly.

Respectfully disagree, chap. The set up was fine. Tactics were good. We played well, I thought. We limited Boro to next to nothing, conceded a sloppy goal, which is on Heggebø, not Mason.

We, once again, created enough chances to score goals. Phillips should have scored in the first minute, Price should have scored with the Wallace cross. Their Keeper made a good save in the second half, just before their second.

I really don't see a lot wrong with how we're playing. The simple fact is that we lack quality to take those chances. It's not as if we're playing games where the opponent is having all the ball, creating chances after chance, hammering us, while we create nothing.

We're in games, we're limiting the opposition to very little, and we're creating chances ourselves. There's lots to work on, admittedly, particularly in being more clinical, making better decisions in the final third, and cutting out stupid defensive errors. But there's also a lot of positives to build on.

I see a well drilled and coached team, where players know their roles. It's closer to a CC team than a Mowbray team. I think you mentioned Mason's selection and tactics are as bad as Mowbray's. That's complete nonsense, we're a far better team under Mason than we were under Mowbray.

Can you stop being right please?

It's unnerving.

Josh is being the voice of sanity and reason.

The world really is in a weird timeline.

I agree with Josh btw
