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

[BoroMart]

2-0 and we deserve that. Far too sloppy with our passing, not defending tightly at corners, too slow to get back on the negative transition.

Changes needed second half

 

[Teesside87]

Look like we’re sh*tting ourselves every time they come forward

 

[Mickey_2003]

Come lads, stop being gash.

 

[Otto42]

Game over. Stoke have shown the rest of the league how to play against us.

 

[Chappy112]

These aren't even very good, but they're passing to each other successfully, and apparently that's all it takes.

They're good but agree this is all our own doing, completely off it. Probably a game too far for us with the injuries and suspensions.

 

[AytonMews]

the negative transition.

FFS

 

[Tryasize10]

Rubbish. This game is done.

Not if we manage to get the next one. Let's hope got HT before it gets worse

 

[Wez68]

Very very poor so far today

 

[Sheriff_John_Bunnell_ret]

Left side wide open. Not the first time. No support for Engel.

 

[sherlock]

Dear me

What are you saying now genius?

 

[Duffman]

Please get Latte Lath on at half time - take anybody you like off

 

[ForssAwakens]

This has been a diabolical team performance so far

Greenwood has left Engel exposed all afternoon and it’s no surprise the 2nd comes from ther e

 

[BoroMart]

Half time lath and Dijksteel on for me, we need more pace at both ends of the pitch

 

[Laughing]

Please get Latte Lath on at half time - take anybody you like off

There is a lot of space behind their backline

 

[Priv]

We look unbalanced, no legs in the midfield 3 so we can’t close down or get back quick enough. Rav is fine defensively but useless going forward and offers nothing to our attacks, no body even closes him down as they know he won’t do anything they need to worry about. Only Jones in our team with pace, Greenwood other than one run looking leggy.. Desperate for some quicker legs on..

 

[LaPennaBianca]

This is like the start of the season. We'll massively improve the second half but will likely have left ourselves with too much to do!

 

[Otto42]

Unlucky Josh. After my previous negative post, don’t think this game is done!

 

[Juninhoburger]

Lol what does Coburn have to do to score?

 

[newusername]

Cmon Boro, let's start putting ourselves about a bit!

Lol what does Coburn have to do to score?

Shoot on target?
