Loads of wankers on this thread mind. This season is going to be a bit like this peaks and troughs. We are ok but there are better teams than us at this level including Boro. There’s no need to slaughter players who make a mistake or aren’t quite at their best. A big learning experience. Fingers crossed we improve second half but if we don’t they will hopefully learn from it.
So we praise them when they play well, but keep our mouths shut when they’re playing shit. Aye OK.
 
I’d go 4-3-3 2nd half. Roberts off for wright. Cirkin LB, 09 right. Clarke needs to push on and not have to worry about tracking Jones IMO.

Gooch RW or even djaku
 
We can beat their press, tidily enough.

But we can't transition quickly when we do.

The gaps between Pritchard, Roberts and an isolated Simms are too big. And the wing backs aren't making interesting runs - it's very predictable from them.

All in all, we look static. Understandable, given our most dynamic mover isn't on the pitch. But Mowbray needs to think this out now. This is where you earn your money, because we're not out of it by an stretch.

Might be worth going 4-3-3. Haven't really looked at our bench to see how plausible that is.
Did anyone take Roberts place on the bench
