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. |  |

They look slick in our defence, in our midfield - everywhere |  |

| Middlesbrough F.C V Queens Park Rangers Match Thread. on 15:48 - Dec 13 by Malintabuk | 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 |
And yet they will probably spend all next season in the bottom three of the Prem. Gulf is getting wider every season now between the haves and the have nots. Doesn't worry me particularly, as we are doing as well, if not better than we should be in the Championship. It has become a two league set up like the Prem now. Boro,Cov, and I think Ipswich for Promotion. |  | |  |

Be good if the team can bite down on the gum shield second half and come out with parity. The support up there deserve an upscale in application from the players at the very least this half. I may be more unhinged than the love child of caser Romero and magnus pyke but i'm calling a 2-2 here and now baby! (... pours another bushmills and ginger ale) |  |

| Middlesbrough F.C V Queens Park Rangers Match Thread. on 15:58 - Dec 13 with 864 views | DieByYourSide | Asked Grok to analyse the content of QPR's tweet about the second goal. Fan replies express intense frustration over QPR's defensive lapses, particularly blaming forward Paul Smyth's erratic decision-making on a failed attack that sparked the counter-attack goal, alongside criticism of right-back Reggie Newton-Dunbar's positioning. Get Newton-Dunbar off at HT |  |

| Middlesbrough F.C V Queens Park Rangers Match Thread. on 15:58 - Dec 13 with 855 views | numptydumpty | Its been attack v defence If they had a bit.more composure, the score should be six nil at half time. Even if miraculously, we got one goal back, cant see them not scoring. I thought we would probably lose today, but didnt see this as so essy for them. Give Poku a run out and bring Hayden on for Varane at half time. Would.also bring on Cook and move JCS to left back. RND needs a rest. |  |

In hindsight, a poor choice from the coach to select a side illequipped to deal with Boro and a full back who looks absolutley knackered. |  | |  |

| Middlesbrough F.C V Queens Park Rangers Match Thread. on 15:42 - Dec 13 by QPunkR | Smyth, Saito, Varane and RND all having poor games at the same time. We'd be losing anyway even if they were all on their game but still [Post edited 13 Dec 15:43]

Andy Sinton has been spot on today and he explained how Boro's tactics have taken Saito and Smyth out of the game. Hindsight is a wonderful thing and perhaps we should have played the extra midfielder to start with and try to contain them with a view to using our pacier players later in the game. Need to protect our goal difference lads. |  | |  |

| Middlesbrough F.C V Queens Park Rangers Match Thread. on 15:47 - Dec 13 by BklynRanger | I think we need a change of formation and Morgan or Hayden added to the midfield |
Completely agree. Should have closed that up after five minutes. |  |

| Middlesbrough F.C V Queens Park Rangers Match Thread. on 16:00 - Dec 13 with 812 views | queensparker | Well that was a fairly comprehensive doing. Just hope it isn’t another 7-1. Boro look excellent and we can’t handle them. JCS looking well off the pace, don’t think this was the game for him |  | |  |
| Middlesbrough F.C V Queens Park Rangers Match Thread. on 16:00 - Dec 13 with 805 views | eastside_r | Agree about the offside. Their player was probably not in advance of the ball. |  | |  |
| Middlesbrough F.C V Queens Park Rangers Match Thread. on 16:01 - Dec 13 with 774 views | A40Bosh | Today I don’t think we have anything on the bench to rescue this game. Concern is how to make the changes to stop another Coventry score line . Koki is offering no support to RND as he is being bypassed by sitting in and allowing their right wing open season to go out wide against RND and then they overrun us in midfield and have choices. Maybe have Hayden in alongside Varane and Madsen to put up more of a wall (Winter is coming!) and prevent a rout. Cannot see us opening them up with what we have today. I think most of us are not surprised by this, so just beaten down the hatches and ride it out and get home. |  |

| Middlesbrough F.C V Queens Park Rangers Match Thread. on 15:56 - Dec 13 by Lblock | 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. |
I'd agree on this occasion, there is no excuse, however I think this one is on JS rather than the players. Going there and playing two up top is suicide, it should been 1 up with a 3 man CM to at least try and cover the switched diagonal pass and block the passing lines (see 2nd goal). Biggest concern is Varane. He has been really poor all season. Should have grabbed that purported £5m. |  |

Which points, for me, to ineptitude on N-D's part, and shows up JS's lack of nous in his preparation, who rarely seems aware of specific opposition players and to highlight what they can do. Sints said/implied as much on comms. CD 'partnership' of Dunne and C-S looking creaky and leaky. Madsen having a stinker, and Varane can't pick a pass. Saito anonymous. Smyth, Burrell, and Kone all working hard, but little or no end product. Management team need to try to find some solutions - if thet can. |  |
