Middlesbrough were just stronger than us

Such basic errors all game. Misplaced passes and lapses in concentration. You can't do that against teams like Boro. 

 

Thought Thornley did well up until the first goal. They are young and are likely to make mistakes so you really don't need Lees c**king up minutes later to give us a mountain to climb.

 

Really worried this playing out from the back will land us in hot water against the grunters. 

 

Agree with this. It was even and we had the better chances first half. But two sloppy moments cost us the game (even then we nearly drew). But our toblerone footed sloppy passing play is awful to watch. 

 

Also agree re Blades. They press high up the pitch and I expect a similar kind of game. Wilder will have been watching that with extra interest and hopefully by then we will have learned how to simply get rid!

Boro’s style is exactly the same as how we would set up if we still had Megson, powerful units all over the pitch, a couple of decent wide men who can put a decent cross in, and a goalscorer up top

 

Its not pretty but it’s still very effective at this level. Boro will get promoted this season no question

.....other than that we went toe-to-toe with them, despite a number of our players having an off day.

 

That's the thing I've noticed about us this season. We don't look out of place against the highly rated teams, but we seem to get punished by errors and lack of concentration. Hopefully Jos can work on that.
