    Match Thread Middlesbrough

    I think you're right to a point, but even you must agree that we need to show more attacking intent than that. I'm sure we will, perhaps tonight was inevitable after the drubbing at the weekend. I do worry that we lack the power and pace needed to punish teams on the break.

    As poor as we have been going forward, there are possibilities here with a change in personnel 2nd half. Boro haven't impressed. Wouldn't surprise me if we nicked this.

    No ball carrier and no real pace in the side. We look fairly solid tonight so far but without O'Hare there is nobody to move the ball up the pitch.

    We were so dominant with the ball last season so it's hard to watch us be so wasteful in possession this term. We just have to get used to it I guess. It does seem that we're going long a bit more tonight.

    Wasn't it 3-0? Great day either way. Edit: it was 2-0. A result that saw us go 4th in the Premier League in February.

    O'Hare could perhaps benefit from sitting one out, but that side looks pretty toothless and lacking both in pace and the ability to carry the ball up the pitch quickly. Another night of chasing shadows for Godden awaits, do feel for him. I was actually quite positive this afternoon, but fear...

    Would rather Kelly over Sheaf and O'Hare over Allen, but we'll see.

    Looking at the state of our defending today, then you remember we have an international defender on the bench who was dropped because he went to play for his country. We have been abject today. But no point overreacting. Chance to put it right in a few days.

    That was a hard watch. Still, we're somehow still in the game. Regroup at half time, take the game into the last 20 and you never know. Changes clearly needed though, we look lost.

    Err...no. Of course not.

    The point about us acclimatising is entirely valid and as the season goes on you'd hope we'll get closer to these sides. The way some people are going on though we've no hope. How easy would it have been for Luton to declare their trip to Elland Road as a lost cause as some seem to view our...

    This sort of defeatism is tiresome. The idea that the gulf in class is so great that we just rock up to these places, take our defeat and then walk away, because it's OK, we'll beat Rotherham in a few weeks and that'll be enough... Of course we're coming up against better teams. But that...

    It's entirely relevant. It's Alice in wonderland stuff to think we can ignore these games as we only need to pick up points against lower half teams. Since when has that ever happened? Of course we're going to need to pick up some points against the better sides. That's just reality. Barnsley...

    I think it is the early 00s vintage that people have an issue with. Those mentioned and also Cardiff and one or two others. They got them completely wrong. For me, if you are going to build a new stadium you should try to tick as many of the following boxes as possible. 1. Central location or as...

    West End.

    There is nothing tinpot about Villa Park, Bramall Lane, Goodison Park etc. - the asymmetry is part of what gives these places their charm and indicative of how they have grown and changed organically over decades. The Ricoh is a travesty. It is derivative and lacking in any sort of visual...

    No bottomless pit

    A bit of a wasted opportunity by CT for me. Asking what impact shirt sales are having was pretty dumb. I'd be interested to know the extent to which ifollow revenues are helping bridge the revenue gap. Clubs are announcing big ifollow audiences right now, would be interesting to know the number...

    To not test the keeper once and come away with a point, well you take that and move on.

    Things to be positive about and a game there for the taking, but it's all a bit scruffy and always disappointing to get to half time without an effort on target, although very unlucky with the header.
