Exactly. So simple but we over complicate and end up all over the place.

Well said and I totally agree. The number of players being played out of position in the second half was unnecessary. 2 left back options on the bench and we play neither of them. johnson should be given the maximum fine we can give him, it was so stupid. up to that sending off I thought it was a very good performance, it’s so annoying we’ve failed to win from that position.

What the hell does this mean?

Lots of midfielders on show.

I take it that means we have no other centre back option?

Are we really playing our stand out midfielder this season at centre back?

Who said everything is Pulis's fault?

We are a shambles but I’m still happier than I was last season.

He didn’t did he. He had lots of different players.

Jesus wept.

It feels a bit to me like we were under Monk, no real style of play or organisation. Monk was sacked because it was still the same after a few months with no signs he knew what he was doing but hopefully under Woodgate we start progressing into an organised outfit. Hopefully. Hopefully.

To be fair some of the performances were terrible and I'd expect him to say so, some of those players need a kick up the *** after that. I don't see how its a criticism of his methods, time is needed to get it right, what he mustn't do is panic and change tack like Monk did.

Wow, like nobody could have foreseen that would be a problem.

I think the problem seems to be with identifying players. We brought in three players Woodgate talked about in his interview so what exactly did our "Scouts" contribute this summer?

It’s so nice to be able to look forward to the matches again after what was by far the most depressing season I’ve ever known as a Boro fan. I suspect with the changes being made a top 6 finish will be tough but it’s going to be a lot more enjoyable a journey. Britt is going to be first choice this season so if he can put away his penalties it could easily add between 5 and 10 goals to his tally. He needs to realise this and put some serious practice in, as ballooning it over the bar is not acceptable.
