Story of 2 poor teams and a premier league quality striker really. Delighted with the result but still concerned with defence and lack of any real creativity. Bidwell and Victor the only real class. We move onwards
The one where Palmer took the ball off the player then got fouled, penalised and yellow carded for remonstrating was another type of special!Every single time one of their players went down he gave it. Several other baffling decisions.
Thought he was good today.100%.
I would make a jibe about Sunderland fans not knowing their arse from their elbow but in fairness he was badly used there which affected his performances.
Best Swedish striker in the worldNot a pretty win, but a vital one.
Middlesbrough fans must think Gyokeres is best striker in the world.
Thought he was good today.
Says a bit about him when Robins trusts him (a 19 Yr old kid) as a left footer on the right of the three over Panzo.
(Or maybe that says more about Panzo - who I thought was a bit of an accident waiting to happen at times today... particularly the amount of times he misjudged long balls)
I thought Gyokeres was pretty average today - it was a poor finish that was very fortunate
Godden a complete passenger just like he is every game.
Sheaf different gravy.
Palmer is leagues above O’Hare
Me too.Im probably Sheafs biggest fan on here and he was poor today, wordt he’s been for a long while.
His floor is higher than the rest of the squad’s ceiling thoughIm probably Sheafs biggest fan on here and he was poor today, wordt he’s been for a long while.
He wasn't "excellent" sloppy pass nearly cost us 1st half, not sure where you sit, but from the side of the pitch, the amount of times he "got under the ball" and misjudged the flight, was a worry.Disagree completely. Thought Panzo was excellent bar for the vast majority today. Had a striker manhandling him all game and got nothing from the ref.

Has a tendency to get the wrong side of his man too, which I've commented on previously.
He is very raw. More so than 19 year old Doyle.
He did some ok stuff today, but was nowhere near excellent.

Back 3 very good today. Would really like to sign Panzo if we possibly can.
Can't see there being an option of buying Doyle though
I thought his first touch/control was poor today. Nearly played himself into trouble several times because of it.He wasn't "excellent" sloppy pass nearly cost us 1st half, not sure where you sit, but from the side of the pitch, the amount of times he "got under the ball" and misjudged the flight, was a worry.

The way he reacted was utterly ridiculousThe only negative for me was the few times in the second half when high balls were misjudged in our box. On another day we could have conceded from one or another of them. But that's being a bit nit-picky, because we've improved dramatically at the back since the first few games.
And I think Palmer will turn out to be a class act for us. He just seems to have something about him. We've prided ourselves on having a tight-knit group, and the way he reacted when he got the yellow card (well, for the foul before it) shows how much he cares.

The frustration is solely down to us not getting in the refs ear. If you don't ask you don't get and when Boro like Brum ask all game for cards and fouls the ref in the end will react on the seed that's been planted from 1st min. We never got 1 call, fans seen it, players seen it and Boro knew it, that in the end they get us wound up.
I understand Palmers frustration, like i understand Hamers frustration of being kicked and ref allowing it last game. Our players need to understand what the opposition are doing to us, if the seed is planted and you give the ref a picture or reason he will pull a card faster than a rabbit on a promise... We need to get smart, because its now a part of the game, we don't have to go low, but we have to say to the ref, watch them take turns in kicking Hamer, O hare, watch them ask for cards ref.. Its part of the game we all grew up with and know it goes on in a parks game or the pro game. We just need to be proactive not reactive with the ref.
The way he reacted was utterly ridiculous
i sit in 24, so he was right in front of me first half. He is raw, but he has some excellent attributes. He got his head to probably more than anyone else, he was easily the best on the ball of the back three, and several times he did brilliantly to keep control of a ball coming in rather than the usual lump it out for a throw.
He’s not perfect but implying he’s a liability or as someone said thinking we need two new CBs is hyperbole. This back three hasn’t conceded a goal yet FFS.
I remember when I managed a Saturday team and I knew the referee we had loved being told how good he was at his job. He has a reputation for winding players up and actually got assaulted a couple of times. I said to the lads even if you think he’s a prick just say stuff to him like ‘good decision ref’. We won the game and the other team had two sent off for dissent. The dark arts worked that day!Sorry all this dark arts stuff is just bollocks

Oooh, your next target. Exciting times.
