GrimsbyBoro 1,968 Posted April 23, 2022 Share Posted April 23, 2022 They keep looking for the ball in behind and other than that they have possession without purpose - nothing to fear here. However we have offered nothing. Yet again we look like a team in preseason. the tiniest glimmer of hope is that 2 or 3 times Watmore and Coburn have tried to link up. Nothing revolutionary but something our other striker combinations don’t do. Dont know what’s happened to Jones look likes he’s turned into an orthodox right back. Link to post Share on other sites

This is pure anti football. We could keep the ball a bit ourselves? 🙌 Link to post Share on other sites
TeaCider24 12,642 Posted April 23, 2022 Share Posted April 23, 2022 Coburn's touch has seemed really poor in recent weeks, just seems to bounce off him. Not that he was the only one struggling in that half. Link to post Share on other sites

Tbh I'd take this set of results right now. But yeah that was grim, we definitely don't look a team 4 or 5 places ahead of these. Watmore infuriates yet again by showing how close he is (but not quite there) to being a really good player. i mean were only 4 points ahead, hardly a gap that suggest we should walk over them. also they average 64% possesion so i i think they make most teams looks poor in comparrison. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Coburn's touch has seemed really poor in recent weeks. True, but the next 3 are far simpler games than any of these last few (hull aside on paper) Link to post Share on other sites

So I'm assuming you really did know, otherwise you're either an idiot or not a Boro fan. I'll let you decide for yourself which you'd prefer to be. Double edged quip and tantamount to you wanting another run in with a forum member. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

But both have been ineffective lately I think Bola is a good fullback but not a wingback. 2 Link to post Share on other sites

Skinemrippers 895 Posted April 23, 2022 Share Posted April 23, 2022 Hope Payero gets some minutes. We need some creativity (and someone decent on set pieces) - might as well give him a go. Need to change things up 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Yes, you're telling me watmore doesn't care? Also we're clearly making sure we're staying solid at the back (given how people were freaking out about bamba on here before the game you'd think people were happy with) But suggesting all of the players are sabotaging themselves and the team is ridiculous Link to post Share on other sites

They have some big physical players… Morrison, Flint etc.. we are absolutely bullied by Huddersfield in this respect and we won’t have Crooks and possibly Fry. Can see us losing it Link to post Share on other sites
