Borodane 6,246 Posted August 14, 2022 Share Posted August 14, 2022 Got in late. Just seen their goal. Lumley would have got pelters for conceding that and again he’s had to back peddle late in the half on a set piece. So far I’m not at all impressed with hype Steffen has received. Needs to step up massively. 5 Link to post Share on other sites
BoroJake 2,331 Posted August 14, 2022 Share Posted August 14, 2022 Midfield still a massive problem. Mcgree and howson both very poor imo. Not sure Lenihan is very good either Link to post Share on other sites
Neverbefore 10,695 Posted August 14, 2022 Share Posted August 14, 2022 Hopefully we come out like we came out Vs qpr in the second half. We've been a bit better than the first half vs qpr but still wouldn't have any complaints if we were behind. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
BoroSmoggie 2,678 Posted August 14, 2022 Share Posted August 14, 2022 Lenihan hasn’t looked great but harsh to judge him when he’s out on the left of back 3. Don’t think anyone looks comfortable there apart from McNair. Need a LCB. Link to post Share on other sites

pikerman 1,089 Posted August 14, 2022 Share Posted August 14, 2022 Good game to watch despite the conditions. For most of that half, McNair did a good job in funnelling back to protect the defence, then he tired and it went to pieces as we just look so uncomfortable playing three at the back. We are seriously lacking a holding midfielder as Howson just does not have it. The front two have worked their socks off but the balls up to them have been hopeful at the best. We could easily be 3-1 down here as the offside didn’t look it and I thought it was a nailed on penalty. This could go either way but Sheff U look far more like the finished article than we do Link to post Share on other sites

Uwe 3,543 Posted August 14, 2022 Share Posted August 14, 2022 Funny to read thoughts on Howson (I think he’s been ok. Not great but not bad) but the Sheff Utd commentators think he was starting to impose himself and running midfield 🤷♂️ Link to post Share on other sites

The way we play effectively removes the two forwards from the game. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

AnglianRed 6,229 Posted August 14, 2022 Share Posted August 14, 2022 Eek! Let off for Boro there. Brewster through on goal and Steffen does just enough to put him off. Eventually cleared off the line. Link to post Share on other sites
