The Official Middlesbrough FC vs Swansea City Match Thread

[bakajack]

After today the only time i ever want to see williams on thebpitch is playing for the opposition

 

[A4Jack]

Starting to get annoyed now. Piss poor goals week after week. Play like Barcelona in the middle third, defend like Morecambe, attack like Barnsley

Even after Cardiff’s dreadful run, they will be three points behind us after today

 

[monmouth]

Some of the options we take are absolutely laughable to be fair. I’m not laughing mind.

I still think we’ll be comfortably mid table, but we don’t want a full blown slump.

[Bluenile]

Tactically all wrong. No intensity again, and yet another game where the opposition want it more than us.

 

[CurtessECarr]

Watching it on Middlesborough TV, they are spot on about us... suicidal the way we play, too slow and reckon any team with pace will beat us.

Yes heard that and yes I have to agree with them. Seem's pretty obvious to most.(bar 1 maybe)

 

[K23]

Our wingbacks are never asked to defend when we don't have the ball. So we have 3 central defenders to cover the whole width of the pitch.

Pretty much suicidal tactics from Martin, every game

We've been doing that most of this season and it's ok against some teams but shocking against others, Fulham & B'mouth for example but Martin refuses to adapt his team to counter the opposition's strengths which means we sometimes get a pasting.

Williams jogging back pisses me off almost as much as his awful positioning

 

[bakajack]

Surely a penalty

 

[monmouth]

We get NOTHING.

 

[John102]

How was not handball by keeper. Then hooks down Pat who is booked for diving.

 

[JackFish]

Yellow card for diving FFS. Why are the refs so reluctant to give us penalties this season? It’s beyond bizarre now.

 

[LeonWasTheDog's]

Surely a penalty

Not if it involves us. Disgraceful decision. Pato fecked that up though.

 

[Nocountryforoldjack]

Well played ref you cůnt

 

[Pegojack]

Surely a penalty

Very poor first touch by Pato, I can see the ref's point of view, he left his foot in to be caught.
