Was just nice to see us pass the ball around with some confidence today. Refreshing to see.

Positives -

- a decent point against a side playing well below their individual ability. 

- intent, intensity, pressing, ball retention all improved on the previous 3 games.

- mcnair was much more like the paddy of the start of last season 

-bettinelli much more confident display- solid and some good saves

 

Negatives -

- still giving away needless chances at set pieces, look very shakey at the back underr any kind of pressure.

- johnson- obvious one. I cant think fo any contract renewal in my 20 plus years of supporting boro that is baffling and dumb as this. He was a 2 out of 10 at best.

- creativity lacking again. Our chances all came from crosses or set pieces, just no incision or guile whatsoever.

Dijksteel continues to look comfortable, Hall did ok, the captain put a shift in. The whole team kept at it and deserved at least a draw. Paddy MOM

Bournemouth were poor.

[BoroSmoggie 356]

52% possession. 18 shots. 7 on target. 

Certainly wasn’t expecting that.

Isn't that david brooks supposed to be worth about £40 million? He was awful

why are the subs not used?, coulson for johnson? 

We did use all three subs but yeah, that seemed like an obvious change.

He never saw much of the ball, to be fair. I don't think he had a bad game, he just never had a chance, we completely cut the supply to him.

He did nearly plop one in from 25 yards on his weaker foot, remember. Bettinelli made a cracking save for it, was just before they actually got their goal mind.

Johnson and Spence are dreadful wing backs. We're going to get NOWHERE playing with these two comedians out wide. Couldn't cross the street.

I would have made that change though, I think you're right 👍

Paddy is made for RWB 

[sanddancer 359]

I am content, I see the potential additional players could add. 
I worry about the squad size, set play and finishing and I trust Warnock to get it right. 

[Red Rocket 198]

Great point for the lad. There was plenty to be positive about and we grow in confidence with each game. 

[Blanco 986]

Good performance today. Hopefully Browne gains confidence from his goal and hope Fletcher is ok. UTB

size of the squad is major worry for me, to many unproven players as back up or in first team, need think we need 4 more players in but with the way this windows gone would probs take 3 and expect 2 more .
