Max so frustrating, does really well sometimes then just doesn’t know what to do with it.

Harsh to blame the keeper. McCallum should be falling over from the push

Behave. The keeper needs to be clearing every fucker out there.

Pretty sure it was one of the aspects of our game plan back at the start of the .season

Wish Kelly would take a touch sometime rather than helping it on

That’s a really annoying first half. Boro shit and we gift them a goal.

Miss James composure at times in the middle Kelly & Hamer are losing that midfield battle

So frustrating. They’d offered nothing until they scored.

someone needs to fucking spark Warnock

Well, that's massively disappointing. Strong start but let them back in with yet another soft goal.

Got our noses in front then let them off the hook with shit defending again.

Not too bad first half but they've got a strong bench so need to up our game second half

Blame the Lino for giving the throw in, but otherwise it’s Wilson for me. That coming then going thing he does on crosses happens too much and he ends up on his heels.

No Pete, a proactive keeper deals with that let's not have the Burge argument again.

Just shown the Middlesbrough equaliser Wilson should definitely done better punch or catch but the scorer at the far post had no challenge from defenders either, poor goal.

Wilson making another mistake, shocking as per

Neither Wilson or Marosi command the box, you would be shocked if either came blasting off their line and wiped everybody in the way out.

It’s what he does peob get them a late pen later for it

Too many poorly conceded set pieces eventually teams score... Started the half well then went sloppy.. Midfield needs to do better tbh

So frustrating to concede just before half time, and from another set piece.

What the fuck has Warnock got to moan about? Refs done well.

Some very ropey city defending

Was going to say the same thing. First touch, decent, second touch poor.

Just watched it on sky back a few times. Not sure you’re correct

Annoying to be going in drawing after being so close to the break. Draw not completely unfair though. We look the better team but we haven’t really created any clear opportunities and the goal was an og.

Scrappy game. We're back to hoofing it aimlessly.

My biggest frustration with him too. That and he takes a touch and then doesn’t look and hits the channel as it’s the safest pass to play in terms of giving it away. Need to be better on the ball than that as a central midfielder in the championship

I bow to your better knowledge of keeping arts

Frustration all round they offered nothing and let them back in the game far to easy

Exactly this. Once the throws been given there, forget about it. Cross came in and Wilson looked caught between 5 different ideas. Marosi wouldn't have been much better as he never comes for crosses. Position needs attention in the summer.

Love Kelly as much as anyone but he's looking grimly league 2 tonight. First thought it just to knock it on without assessing anything. He is better. He needs to be better

Biamou, McCallum and Rose were great for the first 30 mins but that last 15 was poor. Kelly's strengths are also negated somewhat when both teams are playing longer football. We're essentially only playing with one wing back, because Dabo is nothing like his normal adventurous self and McCallum who has done well to get forward just doesn't have the crossing ability he needs. Gonna have to really roll our sleeves up 2nd half.

I'm disappointed with 1-1 at half time. We should be ahead, and Wilson should of claimed that ball. I don't know what we need to strengthen more next year, keeper or striker

Wilson need to come for that cross. His starting position at free kicks and corners is to near his near post

McCallum was there , marking the scorer.... but was pathetically weak... so much so he was bullied to the floor before you saw him by the looks of it!!

It's getting a more and more a physical game, and Kelly just not getting into the game so far. Change the tactic second half and spread the play more please, usethe wingbacks more. Hamer needs to find his A game. Someone needs the energy to get up and support quicker when O'Hare is on the ball. Boro will be dangerous on the break and we need to play football and possession - can't win without the ball.

Definitely frustrating it came from a dodgy throw in decision.
