Takes that long to do anything he actually goes back in time. 6m Argentine U21 international on the bench so this clown can sit in the hole doing naff all. I dont think Payero is competing with Howson, more with Tav.... we could ofc put Crooks in Howsons position, but might be to forward with both Tav and Payero? We are loosing the middle as it is allteady.... 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Foxtrot Oscar Colin 607 Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 Sporar having one of them games where he looks scared of defenders he seems to panic taking the ball into feet with under pressure and either gets robbed easily or has a heavy touch and loses it. Conolly is really really poor. At least Hernandez and watmore can carry the ball and run at players I really don't see what conolly offers. Can we have Hernandez back please?

AnglianRed 6,320 Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 Well okay, that wasn't the best half of football we've seen under Wilder. On the other hand its still all square and to be honest I'd take that at full time, given our historical record and both teams' recent form. Largely scrappy and high intensity, but low on skill. Both teams looked like they were trying to rush things...Boro especially. Thought we defended well for the most part - not too many scares. Didn't show enough endeavour or composure going forward. Gave possession away cheaply too often. Hopefully Wilder has some ideas to change things up second half. Also, if the ref's association is watching, can we please have a proper Championship match official instead of the card-happy Sunday League clown currently running the match?

Aphex_Boro 1,444 Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 Tackle on Jones looks a penalty but as someone else said its one youd be gutted to get given against you 1 Link to post Share on other sites
BoroSmoggie 2,710 Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 This is the 4th game we’ve been ***. Since Forest we’ve been dire, we’ve just been fortunate to get some last minute goals which have papered over the cracks. Connolly and Sporar been shocking. Can’t trap a ball to save there life.

See what happens in the second half but if Payero can't get into the team in these circumstances then I have no idea when he ever will. Link to post Share on other sites

We are loosing the middle as it is allteady.... We need a technically capable CM to play the deep lying role so we can progress up the pitch. This whole performance is falling apart because Howson is playing that role without being remotely in the game. There are times when he is standing with a Blackburn player between him and the CB with the ball and not moving to create the angle. It's shockingly bad midfield play.

AnglianRed 6,320 Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 Just seen the replay of the foul on Jones and wondering how the ref didn't give a penalty for that, given how he's been dishing cards out like confetti for innocuous stuff. 3 Link to post Share on other sites
Neverbefore 10,940 Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 "fans" wanting Connolly sent back after just over 100mins of football. 45 of which has been one of the worst team performances of the season. Give your heads a shake and wise up. Give the lad a chance. 5 Link to post Share on other sites
LBP 3,035 Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 Tav LWB and Payero on soon for me Need a threat down the left, they know all our goals come from Crooks/Jones 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Denzel Zanzibar 6,972 Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 Definitely a penalty. Jones doesn't go down if there's no contact, why would he? 2 Link to post Share on other sites
SmogDane 4,055 Posted January 24, 2022 Author Share Posted January 24, 2022 Payero for Tav .. Watmore for Connolly I wouldn't sub Crooks, cause he brings them goals ... Link to post Share on other sites

Connolly been poor but both strikers been feeding off absolute scraps so hard to be too critical. Yes but they have to contribute by taking in the ball and playing off each other. Can't expect the midfield to be putting everything on a plate all the time. They need to be much better the pair of them when they get the ball to feet and with their back to goal. Too easily robbed by the defenders they have barely had to break a sweat against them. Zero aggression or desire to make anything happen. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
