Redcar Rioja 5,975 Posted December 1, 2020 Share Posted December 1, 2020 1 hour ago, AnglianRed said: Even if you just look at Boro players, Britt still has the 2nd worst accuracy (after Akpom), though he is still our 2nd highest scorer. Look at the number of shots. Johnson 7 shots and 4 goals, Britt 24 shots and 3 goals, Saville 9 shots and 2 goals same as Fletcher before he was injured with 9 shots and 2 goals. Tav's stat looks shocking with 20 shots and 1 goal. Obviously there is more to the game than just mere stats but it does point to if Britt improved his accuracy or maybe passed instead of shooting we may have a few more goals in the "goals for" column. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

In defence of tav, he shoots from outside the box a lot more and a couple of his shots have led to goals via rebounds. But he does need to add more goals to his game I agree with that. 2 Link to post Share on other sites
ErimusFootball 110 Posted December 1, 2020 Share Posted December 1, 2020 Think it'll be a bit of a struggle tomorrow. You know exactly what you're going to get from a Swansea team and we have to be at it from the first whistle or it'll be a long night. Like to see us rotate the squad a bit because the lads looked knackered on Saturday and the games are coming thick and fast. Link to post Share on other sites

His Stats below look a lot better too. Not bad for a makeshift Left Back come Winger. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/teams/middlesbrough/top-scorers#:~:text= Rank , 0.40 6 more rows Haha i can only apologise to Neymarv. Doing him a disservice. Probably also doing him a disservice for recycling his new nickname to a player not fit to lace his boots. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Neymarv or Marvinho will do, I am sure that both Neymar and Juninho are both humbled to be associated with such a top flight world class player as the mighty Boro's Marvin. 😉 Link to post Share on other sites

boro-unger 3,870 Posted December 1, 2020 Share Posted December 1, 2020 Was convinced the game was tonight for some reason... had the stream on thinking: "by, they're leaving it a bit late to start the coverage aren't they?!". Doh! Anyway, need a win to get us back into the groove. 6 points from the last 4 games wouldn't be disastrous. Hope we cut out the sloppy goals against as well. Link to post Share on other sites
DurhamRed 2,047 Posted December 1, 2020 Share Posted December 1, 2020 We need a win after the results tonight to keep in touch with the top 6. But is tough as Swansea will go into top 2 with a win. Link to post Share on other sites

TheJew 2,938 Posted December 2, 2020 Share Posted December 2, 2020 Marv has always been a good finisher. If he keeps playing regularly he will be good for double figures this season. Link to post Share on other sites
Downsouth 6,326 Posted December 2, 2020 Share Posted December 2, 2020 Always a tough fiture be it home or away and I suspect it will be the same be great to get a win but at this point a draw will be ok. Well game day and also my birthday so come on Boro and 3 points will do nicely as a present! Oh and if interested the same age as a Beatles song 4 Link to post Share on other sites

Borodane 6,301 Posted December 2, 2020 Share Posted December 2, 2020 The way the top-6 is shaping up we really need to win this game. Lose this and we could potentially be 8 points adrift, Link to post Share on other sites
