Dismal.  We played better under Warnock.

Difference being we pretty much always played like donkeys under Colin.

This time its just that our skill, such as it is, is being negated by a similarly good opposition.

Poor first half from both sides, let hope CW sticks a rocket up their ***!

Glad to be going in goalless we have been poor throughout. That's probably the only positive we can say. Unfortunately Taylor and Crooks need to stay on but being on bookings makes it a problem.

Tav and/or Howson off at half time, payero and/or Watmore on. Probably Tav I’d pick for Watmore, Tav only more than Howson due to him having a yellow, get some attacking intent going.

Jonny Howson the slowest midfielder in world football. 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.

HT. Lucky to be level. Need to reboot before the second half. 

[boro-unger 2,503]

Not a great half. Hopefully we have a better second, though i would take 0-0 now

[TeaCider24 6,086]

Happy with 0-0 at half time, we were very poor but it's still all to play for.

I'd change one of the midfield and bring on Peltier for Taylor in a bit.

[Brunners 5,861]

Awful first half. 

Will say I think it was a pen. As he pulls his leg back to kick he connects with the defender and that's what sends him over. There was one angle where it was clear as day imo!

Can't complain really though, would have been undeserved.

Also think its Blackurn who makes us look worse also. We have fallen into their traps

He needs to somehow give them a rocket whilst also calming them down. We can't afford any red cards.

We've had the rub of the green after a few iffy performances recently... Need to up it today as Blackburn won't be as obliging as Reading or Mansfield. 

[boro_fan_in_brum 323]

It’s been lame from both teams.  
 

needs something different, sporar a bit wasteful at times.  Unlucky from Jones as well, itll come!  Keep the faith UTB

[Aphex_Boro 798]

Grim that. Payero has to come on for one of the midfield 3, could really be any of them. 

Connolly been poor but both strikers been feeding off absolute scraps so hard to be too critical.

[Smokedsalmon 847]

I'm actually raging at that midfield trio. How can not 1 of them seriously be dropping in, picking it up, creating an angle? They're all just staring at the CBs waiting for them to bang it long. Tav/Howson need sending home at half time. Dire.
