All of Boro’s chances are coming from our slack play.
Correct, we’ve made half a dozen mistakes at the back that has gifted Boro the momentum again.
Cut them out, get some shots off and we’ll be reyt.

0.0. XG. lol
Both sides cancelling each other out. A team in the top four with a quality striker walks this league.. maybe stop trying to walk it in.
Still ano 45 to go and i prefer our benc options but 1 goal probably wins this

They have their third choice goalie in, that the fans really don't rate, and we haven't given him anything to think about.
...........yet FFS!

He’s really not. I don’t know what you’re watching if you think Trafford is awful with the ball at his feet.
Oh yes he is!

We need the high press we have seen lately. At the moment it’s off a little.
We are jogging with the press, but that might be on purpose. Save energy, knowing they don't do much with the ball even when they do get it into midfield. I feel we can go up more gears and have better options than they do.

Easy game to lose if we keep giving the ball away. Boro got better the longer the half went on. We have a couple looking a bit off the pace.

The last month or more we’ve played with far more energy second half, I feel they save themselves a bit. We’ll be at it this half and hopefully can sneak one.
How the hell does xG have us at 0.0 when Brownhill shot wide and Anthony shot over? They were both acceptable goal attempts that with better technique could have gone in.

Brownhill outstanding, Anthony working hard and getting involved (at last), Hannibal is setting up plenty of their attacks by giving the ball away, Laurent needs to impose himself much more. Overall a good first half performance without hurting them particularly: we need to up our game in the second half and have more shots.

Amazing that a goalkeeper who is awful with the ball at his feet is playing by for a team sitting third in the league with the best defensive record that play out from the back whilst making zero errors leading to a goal against. I don’t think you have a good understand of what you’re watching.

We have played consistently well last few games but it isn't easy to keep it up match after match. It's a shame we have had so many decent teams one after the other.
