Middlesbrough Match Thread

I'm afraid the two things that have been persistent with this side all season are doing us in, not clinical enough with our chances going forward and switching off defensively, especially on set pieces! What a difference a couple of days make, all that optimism from the midweek match is thrown out the window if this result holds and other matches look to be not going our way!

Hayden he is a liability to many fouls.

Typical rangers.
its all going well and we just fu#k it up.

How disappointing, just as you start to think we're going to be okay, we turn in another poor performance.
Hard to he too critical as we've been excellent lately, but it feels like another missed opportunity.

Stoke back in lead

Millwall winning

[Sleeping Giants]

If Huddersfield win tomorrow, we'll be back in bottom 3 unless late goals today. I stand corrected - Brum will be in bottom 3 if Hudds win.

A bit of a disastrous day with getting turned over at home and our relegation rivals winning, we have had a pretty good run lately but it is obvious it is going to have to continue or we will be down, hopefully the team can dust off and get something at Sunderland, I wish Beale was still there!

Bad day at the office

all too slow they did to us what we did to Leicester

need to turn Sunderland over

Don't get the subs...Willy looked shot not Chair, Field was doing ok

[Sleeping Giants]

Playing Devil's advocaat, I'd have taken 4 points if offered before Leicester Away, WBA and Boro.

Too many many hard games before this one and we came short. Best team won today.

Shocking 2nd half!

poor substitutions

had to check Ainsworth wasn’t back on the touch line they way we played the 2nd half

[daveshads]

A bad day yes. But let's not get too down on ourselves. We have seen a lot of progress recently but we haven't become a good team overnight.
Our home form, generally, has been our worst thing. I think that this is because at home, you have to try to make things happen, and we don't have a group of players who can do that. That we have seen so often this season. Away suits us much better where we can catch teams on the break. Today's substitutions were rather odd but I guess we don't know the reasons why they were made. But taking Chair off seems to reduce greatly our chances of scoring. Let's stay positive. We have to.

[SheepRanger]

Hopefully WBA and Boro can do us a favour Sun&Tues vs Hudderfield and Brum
