Middlesbrough F.C V Queens Park Rangers Match Thread. 18:04 - Dec 12 with 15391 viewsted_hendrix

Last time we drove to Middlesbrough we got held up on the M1 motorway and got to the ground Five minutes before bloody kick off, we then promptly lost 4-0.

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.

My Father had a profound influence on me, he was a lunatic.

It’s a beasting but I’m not even mad.
Boro are very good.
Lesson for us on standards we need to achieve.
We’ve done the business recently.
Onward.

Keep the score down lads, we’d almost erased the Coventry negative goal difference until this lot showed up.


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

Those possessed by devils, try and keep them under control a bit, can't you ?

I think we need a change of formation and Morgan or Hayden added to the midfield

Sum this up in 3 words men v boys.............there is a gulf between us and them.

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

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..

Hackney carried the ball well for them and had a fare game.

In defence of Smyth, at least he's got us up the pitch.
Burrell, Kone have offered nothing, saito and rnd have been rank and need hooking.

Shut up shop and try and protect the worsening goal difference or come out swinging and accept we'll get cricket scored?


Take Kone off and bring on a second 'keeper?

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

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.

Wow. Our pace has been nullified completely. Need to change everything, right now it is just a practice session for them

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.

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.

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

Very disappointed with smiling boy Saito. What on earth has happened to him of late? Not worth a place in the team right now.

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?

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

Shit but local

We've barely had a kick. 2-0 down and that hasn't flattered them. In our defence, they look very slick.

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

If you're going to lose a game, it might as well be to this lot.


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.

Cherish and enjoy life.... this ain't no dress rehearsal
