I mean if his "one trick" is to get assists then I'm more than happy with that And so you should however for me he needs to be heavily involved and not in fits and starts. I see a great footballer who does not seem to realise that Link to post Share on other sites

That's been our entire problem under Wilder. 45 minutes here, 20 minutes there. We scored a great goal today. We also let in 2 *** ones. and we scored a great goal at qpr actually think we have scored great goals in every league game so far. yes we made hard work of it at the other end. but we'll sort that out.

BoroSmoggie 2,710 Posted August 14, 2022 Share Posted August 14, 2022 Giles’ crossing is so good man. Genuinely don’t think he’s put a bad one in since being here. Every one is on the money. Shame Watmore couldn’t quite poke his effort inside the post. 5 Link to post Share on other sites
BoroSmoggie 2,710 Posted August 14, 2022 Share Posted August 14, 2022 Our first goal was so good, just rewatching it back there. I have no doubts that the sequences between Jones, Dijksteel, Crooks/McNair are perfected in hours worth of repetition on the training pitch. Joy to watch when it comes off. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

I think he can run at players more than he is at the minute, but I think you're being incredibly harsh on the kid Alan. Not really Matt as you say he can run at players more than he is. I want to praise him shout his name from the roof tops but atm I simply can't Link to post Share on other sites
Neverbefore 10,941 Posted August 14, 2022 Share Posted August 14, 2022 I wonder if Jones is being asked to fire those early low crosses into the front post as much as he is. If he is, it's our strikers who aren't doing their job because they never seem to be there even though it's obvious that it's coming. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Opposing managers are definitely gonna start coming up with plans to counter him. It’s up to jones to figure that out or the rest of the Boro team/management to exploit the space that he creates if/when he’s doubled up on 👍 Spot on and atm we do not see this, I wish he had license to roam Link to post Share on other sites

Giles and Jones are not the same kind of player, ones more about beating the man wit pace the other is pin point crossing. Its good to not have two of the same really. But with these kinda players there will frustrating times in the game for them. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

SouthernSmoggie 4,242 Posted August 14, 2022 Share Posted August 14, 2022 (edited) Go back to the start of this thread and almost everyone on here thought we would lose today. That team battered us last time we played. I don't think a point is bad and we were improved from the disaster of last week. We'll improve and will have at least two first XI standard players joining in the next few weeks. Beat Stoke and our start will look fine. WBA and Sheff Utd are no pushovers and are ahead of us in terms of building their squads. 7 Link to post Share on other sites

I often find when he tries the early ones he hits the first man and doesn’t get it round the defenders. Link to post Share on other sites
