boro-unger 3,817 Posted April 9, 2022 Share Posted April 9, 2022 Bit of an insipid half. Plenty of half chances, but we're finding it hard to break down the Hull defence (which is camped in their box). Lucky that Tav saved our bacon at the other end.

AnglianRed 6,229 Posted April 9, 2022 Share Posted April 9, 2022 Frustrating first half. Boro looked positive, tried to get forward and did a lot right...just not where it really mattered. Hull caused a few defensive scares...the biggest requiring Tav to clear a shot off the goal line...but overall have been definitely second best to Boro for most of the game. We should still be able to win this comfortably...Wilder just needs to tweak his game plan a bit. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
BoroSmoggie 2,678 Posted April 9, 2022 Share Posted April 9, 2022 Really need a goal in this game. If we get it then Hull have no choice but to come at us more. At the moment they are sitting 11 players behind the ball and frankly we don’t have the quality to break them down today. It’s all been to slow so far. Hull and the ref doing there best to kill the game. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

TeaCider24 12,401 Posted April 9, 2022 Share Posted April 9, 2022 Not a great showing, we've been the better team but we should be. Need to do better in the second half. Results aren't going our way, so we're down to 8th as it stands. Link to post Share on other sites
Tuns 232 Posted April 9, 2022 Share Posted April 9, 2022 Got a feeling Wilder will be getting into them at half time because unfortunately that performance isn't good enough. No tempo, no idea when we get in the final third. For me, Connolly and Flo are too similar upfront. Run around a lot but don't really pose a threat. Very scrappy when they have the ball. Watmore offers more because he's more intelligent off the ball and can finish better. I'd be hooking the front two off, Coburn and Watmore on. Tell Coburn to just get in their faces and be a nuisance and let Watmore find pockets in dangerous areas. Btw, Bamba is immense like. Would have loved to have signed him in his mid twenties 3 Link to post Share on other sites

ChipBarrington 313 Posted April 9, 2022 Share Posted April 9, 2022 Hull look crap, we just look unbalanced and pedestrian at the moment. Balogun looks technically better than Connolly but you would barely notice he had started - Coburn needs to replace 1 of them. McGree reminds me a bit of Forshaw. Link to post Share on other sites

BoroSmoggie 2,678 Posted April 9, 2022 Share Posted April 9, 2022 Hope the ref tries to speed this game up. Link to post Share on other sites
Hewie 94 Posted April 9, 2022 Share Posted April 9, 2022 Still the better of the two sides by far, just need to finish our chances. Feels like everything decent is going through mcgree so far, good touches and some direct play. Tav playing well too even at wing back. 10 minutes in, watmore on. 20 mins, coburn. Hope crooks doesnt get himself sent off 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Smokedsalmon 1,247 Posted April 9, 2022 Share Posted April 9, 2022 Crooks about 10 minutes behind the pace for the last 2 months. I'd bring a striker on for him at this point. Link to post Share on other sites
