Mabe JDT put a typo on his pre-match presentation. He clearly wrote most impotent game of the season.

Whilst it has been working so far this season I really hope JDT uses the break well. He always said that we'd see improvements after the WC but this playing out from the back away from home needs major improvement.

Have we scored a single goal whilst behind this season?

Also Hyam, signing of the season?

When was the last time we played the Dingles with both teams looking good? Will be a very interesting game.

Diaz is too quick for his own good sometimes. Been immense tonight.

Strongly disagree. Dack as well as Dolan sure, but Dolan's energy is needed. I'd be taking Garrett off before the ref takes him off though.

To be honesy at this point we need the running but not necessarily the creativity. No issue with saving Wharton for the weekend if we see this out.

Why on earth is Diaz not going at that with his head?

Far too many yellows on the pitch - where are the changes?

Brittain has been a class anove every time I've seen him tbf. He is very aggressive and that's a huge outlet in what can be a very passive team.

Sometimes may be good, sometimes may be...

Interestingly Sunderland fans seem to think the opposite from what I've seen 😅

I'm surprised more teams don't do thos to us. Tempo and pressure seems to cripple our gameplan entirely.

We're getting sloppy here - may be worth making a change

Makes you wonder why he barely got a look in last season

Yessss! Huge play by Hedges to win the free kick and then yet another Mowbray team who are utterly dreadful at defending set pieces.

Sure, but surely then you use him now - worst happens is he gives you a reason to drop him that the fans see. On the flip side, he gets us extra points and adds to his value. Win-win for everyone.

I think this is the take. Of course Rovers come before Dack, but when no reason is goven you assume the worst and if we're winning and still treating players that have given their all like crap then this lot have learned nothing in the last 12 years or so. We saw it in the Kean era with Givet, Samba, Nelsen, Salgado et al. Don't give the current lot a pass just because the team is winning a few games. JDT could clear up so much with a sentence or two.

Can someone explain how this squad is ever going to get any consistency when we mess around with formations and personnel this much? I can't even make sense of why some of these changes have even been made.

One thing I will say in JDT's favour despite performances is that he has been adamant that we would see consistency after the WC - if we're up near the top and he's right... could be an exciting season. That said, it's a big if.

But it wasn't a goal. so if we concede here and that's all they contribute, then it's perfectly fine to criticise their input.

If we conceded before 90 mins Boro are going to win it, we have been abysmal under pressure for years.

The way we use subs is starting to worry me. It's like he already decided what subs to make before the game rather than looking at what's actually on the pitch.

I know Boro are crap - but look what happens when we actually have a midfield! Makes the last few fixtures all the more frustrating.
