* The Unofficial "Official" Boro v Leeds Match - Day Thread *

[Jonathan]

F*ck me, I don't know how a group of players ability to pass a ball fluctuates so wildly from one game to the next like this.

 

[Teesste]

I'd sooner we weren't wildly open away from home.

9 and a quarter games away, and we've conceded 21 goals in them.

You’re supporting the wrong team then! This is what we’ve got with the best part of a first 11 missing so you’ve just got to go with it.

 

[B_G]

This is what a lot of people don’t seem to get.. sometimes we play teams that are better than us and will punish mistakes that more average teams don’t.. it doesn’t mean we are utter garbage as some seem to be suggesting

(Most) People are well aware of the current ability of this team but it doesn't mean they won't get annoyed at really poor play.

Agreed and 18 goals for by the way which makes for entertaining watching

Most of those games were before any injuries, so that doesn't stand up.

Some people seem to relish it rather than get annoyed!

 

[ThePrisoner]

The number of times we dive in and their player just does a jink and goes around the man is getting embarrassing.

Haven't seen anyone with their party poppers out like

No, but you'd hope that the first choice XI would have tightened up

 

[r00fie1]

Another 60 mins to go.
Leeds cant keep up this pace for that long.

 

[dooderooni]

Well I've only seen the last 10 minutes of it and it looks very open.
Leeds are a good side so you'd expect them to be on the front door at home.
Plenty of time left to tweak things.

 

[TeaCider]

Dieng is keeping us in this atm.

 

[BigJohnsPens]

That terrible mistake by Barlaser started the early madness. What was he thinking?!

 

[Liamo]

I'll tell you what, that Archie Gray is some player, especially given he's only 17 years old.

 

[Rauko]

We cause all of our own problems ..

 

[ForssAwakens]

When McNair off it he’s really off it

 

[Cardiffdaffs]

We are down as somebody described it earlier to "the bare bones". We are away to the second best team in the division who were Premier League last season. I can't get too upset even if some of the play is incredibly frustrating at times. Thats the way this season is going to be.

 

[TeaCider]

McNair has ****ed his back.

 

[Glover_elbow]

F***ing stupid inviting errors playing it out from the back. Play it F***ing long ffs

 

[B_G]

That terrible mistake by Barlaser started the early madness. What was he thinking?!

No idea because he did something very similar but a bit further out 3 mins earlier. So he should have known how high they were pressing.
