MATCHWATCH : Middlesbrough (h)

[jt_1871]

That sums our performance up, best chance we create is morro breaking from halfway ends with a shot on target

[Zip]

At the start of the month we were 16 ahead of Cardiff now the gap is 5. Forget top two. We are not good enough. It’s all about trying to stay in the top 6.

[Bristol Paul]

Yiadom has been poor since his return.

Just let them in by ignoring Morro's instructions.

Been no reason to drop Holmes and agree Yiadom has been great. Overall play still too slow, and not enough attacking threat. Some odd selections as well, Esteves ahead of Aluko, you what?

[CountryRoyal]

When Joao isn’t interested and without Swift and Meite we are a very very average team.

[windermereROYAL]

Our record against this lot is beyond ridiculous, 8 defeats in the last 9. would have lost away if it wasn`t for the debatable disallowed goal for them.

Really don't rate Esteves.

[Zip]

If Barnsley win their game in hand they are three points behind us.

Reading fc nice to refund all us supporters the £10 we spent to watch this dross on I follow please

[Snowflake Royal]

Think the last month Pauno has really screwed the pooch.

IMO he's got the players focused wrong. He's talked more than once about groups of games and it's clear the energy levels were down v Stoke and Millwall. Up v Brentford and Bristol.

I don't think we're focused enough on the actual game we're playing.

And some of his team selection and game management has been really poor of late.

We've taken our eye off the ball thinking about challenging for the top and instead we're slipping out the play offs.

[Zip]

Blow up ref.

[CountryRoyal]

I’m not sure this is us blowing hot and cold we were pretty average against Bristol City. A league two side would have probably beat them.

[Jagermesiter1871]

Yeh that was really poor. Yiadom hasn't justified dropping Holmes - how many goals have we conceded since he's been in the side - 2 against Milwall as soon as he came on.
Ejaria needs dropping. Esteves needs to be dropped down the pecking order and is far from the super sub answer Pauno seems to think he is.

Yup agreed.

Dellor really is an idiot with all the Aluko love and Esteves hate.

Be interested in the stats on this

[CountryRoyal]

Has any team ever gone up with a worse home record? Fcuking shambolic. It’s not good enough.

[CountryRoyal]

Dellor really is an idiot with all the Aluko love and Esteves hate.

Agreed.

They’re both shit.

[URZZZZ]

Dellor really is an idiot with all the Aluko love and Esteves hate.

Longer a player doesn’t play, the more they’re rated - Aluko wouldn’t have changed anything today

[Bristol Paul]

Dellor really is an idiot with all the Aluko love and Esteves hate.

Thought he was spot on to be honest, no way Esteves justifies playing ahead of Aluko on the wing

Wouldn’t say he’s rated, rather Esteves isn’t a winger
