Only allowed 1 good 45mins per game. We've had that already.

If Trav has to play, careful not to get another booking kinda takes away his whole game. Garrett is the only CM on the bench, might have to bring him on sooner rather than later.

Gotta get that next goal. Boro scored at a great time (for them), need to make sure we come out in this second half up for it and grab that 3rd.

2-0! Unbelievable!

😬 Darragh

Er...

We're going to need a change in tactics or we'll look even less toothless up front today. Happy with extra man in midfield but wouldn't be surprised to see no change in formation and just Wharton in the middle of the front 3.

Along with Markanday, Buckley, Mola, Edun & JRC. They haven't seen much first team action between them. JRC and Edun are no surprise, they aren't good enough. Absence is making Markanday better as time goes on, perhaps, he's just not good enough either? Buckley is a bit of a surprise, not everyone rates him but he has shown ability in the past, seems to be regressing. We sign Mola and he's no where to be seen either.

Yeah that's a good shout tbf. Perhaps it's a back 5 again then.

Ayala out injured, so thinking he might switch to a back 4. We need to stop playing our lumbering oafs on the right and put them through the middle. Hirst has done absolutely nothing to warrant a start, so Gallagher gets the nod. Dack in his best position in behind the striker.

You and me both. Dack to Sunderland and we're left with Szmodics and Hirst. IF it happened, it would be dreadful management by JDT.

Ayala went off injured as well. Probably the last we've seen of him for a good few months.

Maybe last time he didn't actually sub him on but I'm sure he's used that reason before. And it didn't make much sense last time either.

Absolutely. We've lacked a proper, decent central midfielder for as long as I can remember. The likes of Dolan, Szmodics, Hirst, Gallagher, Buckley,Travis etc. are poor more than they are good, or in the case of Hirst, just poor.

No sorry, I meant he's said this before, as in a few weeks ago.

I'm sure he's said this before??

Nail. Head. It's unbelievable how they've managed to pick a guy who makes exactly the same fucking mistakes as the last guy.

Did Farke and Corberans teams constantly turn in utterly abysmal performances on the road during that time?

That's straight out of the Mowbray playbook that one as well. Thought we were done with all of this crap. Like playing strikers as "inside forwards" it's bullshit.

❌ No wins at home all season ✅ Rovers up next 😡 Nailed on home win

Some embarrassing diving going on here.

He owes this lot one, at the very least.

BBD will always be on the left but the other 2 spaces being taken by any combination of: Dolan, Gallagher, Hirst, Szmodics is never going to do much. Starting Hedges at RWB and playing Hirst at all is baffling to say the least.

It's been like this for some time as well. Proper depressing.

Just 3 touches in the opposition box. 3! It's the 71st minute.
