Boro Match Thread 10:40 - Aug 18 with 69757 views

Busy day for me today (for a retiree!), hopefully back in time to watch the game on QPR+.

Afraid I can't see another 3-0, so I've gone for 1-1, Chair to open his account for the season.

The slowness with which Boro operate when we're not even at H/T is professionally disgusting. I wonder if the ref will be as willing to add on all the wasted time as he is to give our players yellow cards, but I'm not holding my breath.

OK - it's H/T.

Just seeing the first half stats now. Twice as much possession as them, half as many shots on goal. I'd have thought that makes our coaching team's H/T talk fairly straightforward.

Poll:

A little over halfway through the season, where do you see us finishing?

Somewhat effective football against purist football.

Who will take the spoils?

Poor half. Plenty of possession but not where it can burt. Nothing sticking up front. Willock and Chair being knocked off the ball so Dykes is on his own. Got to be sharper and more precise in final 1/3.

Agree. In my view our weakest player has been Chair.

Controversial maybe but he is simply not working hard enough to find space to be a pass to feet when a defender steps out with it (usually De Wijs). He and Willock have to find space to receive to feet. It’s hard when they have everyone behind the ball and it’s an organised Warnock side, so you have to work harder.

Johansen’s passing has been uncharacteristically poor.

Agree.... trouble is looking at that bench can't see who is going to come on and change things. The one thing we don't have abundance of is pace and we need to get behind that back 5 somehow

Nah, don't worry

75 mins, Braveheart (former Glasgow Rangers captain) overlaps Chair, slings a left footed cross in to the box whilst screaming "freeeeeeeduuuuummmm" straight on to Chaz's bonce and it is 1:1.

We have them rattled and then Rob "goalagame" Dickie keeps his 100% record intact by hitting a 75 yard howitzer past Lummers who is still lying on the ground from a previous catch

With no leg room, knees killing me, do I just go now or stay for the 2nd half o?

The ref did add on an extra minute OT for Boro's excruciating time wasting

This is where the coaching team need to earn their corn, and the players step up to the plate. But the gamesmanship from Boro is hard to stomach, and the ref is part of the problem.
