You can't say there wasn't an ounce of effort. We may not have been effective, but Preston were still fortunate to beat us.

Agree, except we didn't create enough against a very average team. Really need to see Simms impact the game. It passes him by too regularly for me.

Less chance of injuries Extra time to refresh Awful run at the moment, what is MR thinking? Missing time to develop the game plan at PNE #mightbeagoodideamightbeabadideawhoknows?

Longer distance 12.30 kos are a passion killer in terms of making it a 'day out'. Very little pre-match pub opportunities. Bloody SKY etc :mad:

First time to Boro' for me.

Anybody know how many we've sold for this? Setting off at 7.45am (almost forgot it was a 12.30 ko)

All missing for PNE Ben Whiteman, Will Keane, Patrick Bauer, Ched Evans, and Milutin Osmajic. Can't think of a better time to face them to be honest.

I'd have given you 2 likes if I could have, just for the use of batshit 🤣

Great stats for Liverpool. Don't disagree. Think Maddison would have ridiculous numbers in their team. TAA has a great cross on him, I just haven't been impressed when playing for England. The possession obsession in the England team probably hasn't helped.

I'm going to 'Boro but not Sunderland.

Edit: great free kick - credit where it's due!

Great free kick, but he still annoys me!

We don't actually look like we want to attack them and score. We just look like we want to stay in control. It's odd ( and familiar)

Alexander Arnold is overrated - talent, but too casual, and his passing is not a patch on Maddison.

Still worrying signs in that first half of 'we're better than you' and just relaxing too much. We're 1-0 up against a poor side, yet still allowed them about 3 or 4 half chances, whilst creating very little bar the goal. Go for the throat and put the game to bed.

The Greeks got stuck in, the England players just showed no aggression, and casually stroked the ball around as though they thought they were 'better'. No-one took responsibility.

I realise that - it was just a response to hearing Burrough's name. and the associated thought about MVE in centre midfield (should really have been posted outside the PNE thread - my bad!)

I was wondering about this - can cover both sides as a fullback. I also wondered that if he was covering for MVE, and we were struggling in the middle of the park, whether MVE might be a real nuisance as an attacking midfielder - can cover acres of ground, blistering pace, and would cause havoc...

Not that it tends to make a difference at their place, but ..... they will be missing Dracula (part of his 8 game ban) Will Keane - injured hamstring, and a clever footballer imo Ben Whiteman - one of their key/better midfielders (played alongside Sheaf at Doncaster?) one game ban. So I am...

That's cheered me up mate :ROFLMAO: ;)
