Tomorrow I shall stay at home and continue coughing and sneezing, by the way I done a match thread last season and we won at Cardiff. |  |

That - and get some subs on, change the formation and don’t pick up any unnecessary injuries please. |  |

We can say this and that but sometimes you just have to give the other team credit for being better than us. Yes they have opened us up and it could be 3 or 4, but they have opened us up more down to them being better than us The game is most likely over, but hope in the second half we don't capitulate and ship 4 or 5 Be interesting though what JS will do at half time |  | |  |

| Middlesbrough F.C V Queens Park Rangers Match Thread. on 15:49 - Dec 13 with 665 views | Hoopstar | Watching from Austin airport. Just about as one-sided a half of football as you'll see eh. Boro look a very good team as we knew in fairness. The way we have set up and are playing plays right into their hands however - and think we can all agree with the points Clive raised in the preview. A good week regardless of the result today but the gulf in class has looked cavernous at best. Hope Stephan will rotate the team a little more in the next three-game week and go a bit more pragmatic in games like today. Not too disheartened overall. 3=2 Rangers second half coming up.. |  | |  |

Take Kone off and bring on a second 'keeper? |  |

| Middlesbrough F.C V Queens Park Rangers Match Thread. on 15:50 - Dec 13 with 651 views | dm97 | Been torn apart on the wings. Both wingers and RND been awful, without much help from the centre. Granted they’re a much better team than us |  | |  |
| Middlesbrough F.C V Queens Park Rangers Match Thread. on 15:50 - Dec 13 with 641 views | eastside_r | I had a very different perspective for that game but if we hadn’t had the run of the ball, this could’ve been the same as Coventry at half time. |  | |  |
| Middlesbrough F.C V Queens Park Rangers Match Thread. on 15:50 - Dec 13 with 642 views | strikerace | Wow. Our pace has been nullified completely. Need to change everything, right now it is just a practice session for them |  | |  |
| Middlesbrough F.C V Queens Park Rangers Match Thread. on 15:51 - Dec 13 with 580 views | dmm | Well, that's as bad as I feared it might be. Not to pick him out particularly but I have lost patience with Varane. He's simply not good enough on the ball and that alone is a significant weakness in our CM. |  | |  |
| Middlesbrough F.C V Queens Park Rangers Match Thread. on 15:52 - Dec 13 with 568 views | 1BobbyHazell | I'd love to us change shape in the 2nd half. Just out of interest rather than thinking we can turn it around. The 4222 they play is very fluid and they are finding space wherever they want it. Maybe a 433 or even a 352 from us. Should try something. Most definitely cannot leave the fairly immobile 2 of Madsen and Varane on their own. |  | |  |
| Middlesbrough F.C V Queens Park Rangers Match Thread. on 15:52 - Dec 13 with 563 views | dm97 | And for all the ‘tinker man’ brigade out there - we should be rotating for these games. Every third game we look crap, not giving Hayden / Poku / Dembele etc run outs in these games is poor |  | |  |
| Middlesbrough F.C V Queens Park Rangers Match Thread. on 15:52 - Dec 13 with 555 views | JAPRANGERS | Very disappointed with smiling boy Saito. What on earth has happened to him of late? Not worth a place in the team right now. |  | |  |
| Middlesbrough F.C V Queens Park Rangers Match Thread. on 15:53 - Dec 13 with 542 views | toreqpr | They are just much better then us in the first half...................................But still 45 to go hope for better things to materielise one way or another? |  | |  |

| Middlesbrough F.C V Queens Park Rangers Match Thread. on 15:37 - Dec 13 by Tripper | They’re just a much better team than us, not a lot we can do about that. I fear a hammering. |
Isn't the idea of football to at least try to be competitive? |  |

| Middlesbrough F.C V Queens Park Rangers Match Thread. on 15:53 - Dec 13 with 513 views | QPunkR | Have to acknowledge that Boro are a very good side, the best we've played since Coventry. At the same time, a few of our players really aren't on it today. Smyth has reverted to his old self, always picking the wrong option. RND having a bad game but I'm more concerned about Dunne and Glass-Salter - considering how much of the ball Boro have had, especially in and around our box, I've hardly heard their names mentioned and there are massive gaps between them and the full backs |  |

| Middlesbrough F.C V Queens Park Rangers Match Thread. on 15:55 - Dec 13 with 443 views | baz_qpr | Fair to say they have completely done us tactically. Plus they have additional quality. Kone looks unfit again. Saito is totally lost, and Smyth's decision making on another level of bad. Think we will have to change formation, maybe 3 at the back 3 in the middle haul Kone off and play Saito Dembele or Poku as a 10. We need to be bit more dirty and firmer in our tackles, quicker in our passes. Not mad it's a lesson, tough gig at the end of a 3 game week. Need to at least try and get competitive |  | |  |

You see for me I will never accept the narrative out of the club that having two wins already in a three game week means it’s been a good one no matter what happens on the Saturday. It seeps into the players and these nothing performances away in game 3 are too readily accepted. Fcuk off. Nothing less than 100% animal aggression is needed every second that hooped jersey is pulled on. Minimum requirement. |  |
