* The Unofficial "Official" Boro v Preston [02/24] Match-Day Thread *

[parmoboy]

It’s why I’d like to see McNair playing, he is miles more comfortable on the ball

We miss having that centre half who can carry the ball out of defence. McNair is good at that, as is Lenihan.

 

[Uncle_Albert]

Good that Azaz is willing to shoot…nobody else wants to!

Tbf Howson fired a rocket but it was blocked, McGree loves shooting but hasn’t had a chance and Hackneys had a few shots (granted they went miles wide)

 

[AytonMews]

You make your own luck.

What does that even mean in the context of this game?

 

[Moreno]

Please Michael. Stop playing Greenwood upfront

 

[BoroMad87]

Greenwood’s been poor tonight

Just struggled to get into it, we haven't really give him anything to play with to be honest, but right sub and hopefully Forss goes up top!

Definitely, shame Lenihan is out all season I’d love to see him with Van Der Berg

 

[parmoboy]

We need him on the wing as well. It was fatal not getting a striker in the transfer window

Right now we have other options for the wing. He could have started McGree or Silvera on the right tonight, then he could have played Azaz as a 10 and Forss up front.

 

[Laughing]

Comon lads

 

[homesickblues]

Make our own bad luck?

 

[Jedi boro]

If Silvera scores …

Btw is Binns still open ??

 

[Uncle_Albert]

Please Michael. Stop playing Greenwood upfront

I feel sorry for Greenwood, he does give it 100% and has talent but he’s not a striker and is being forced there constantly

 

[Jonathan]

Because we dont have a striker

You don't need to be a striker to be able to just hit the target. Professional players playing at this level should be able to hit the target more often than not but we are just consistently missing the target entirely all the time. Constantly just blazed over the bar or put wide.

 

[B_G]

Well there's the difference. Their keeper saves one he has no right to save.

Glover gets beaten by one he should save every day of the week and twice on a Sunday.

Should be in front

 

[Laughing]

We are all over them.

 

[B_G]

Make our own bad luck?

Of course. Luck evens out over 46 matches

 

[Teesste]

Great save from Woodman there

We’re hammering them here but just not got the finishing touch

 

[Huddboro]

I feel sorry for Greenwood, he does give it 100% and has talent but he’s not a striker and is being forced there constantly

He thinks it’s his best position. He’s an average 10 and an average wide player shouldn’t be anywhere near our starting 11

 

[Alzi]

What does that even mean in the context of this game?

More than claiming a gypsy nana has cursed the likes of Engel, Clarke and Glover to make howler after howler.

I’m more of the view that they just aren’t good enough if we have ambitions of achieving anything in this league.

 

[Ravs]

Awful from Clarke there, sick of us throwing every match away.

You blind? It was Glover’s fault

 

[TeaCider]

Forss in a central position again and only a wonder save keeps him out.

Just play him up front, for ****'s sake.
