Wall V Middlesbrough match thread.

Done us on the break yet again.

That's all they've done. Sat in and broken on us.

Naive by us and some really poor defending.

Should never, ever have been this scoreline.
 
Spirited performance but three defensive mistakes = 3 goals and it’s cost us!

We just need that quality forward who knows how to convert the chances the rest of the team are making!

2nd half, after going 2-1 up, they Millwalled us, sat back, dug in, kept their shape and didn’t give anything away!

Could do with a QPR defeat later, followed by us beating them next week to avoid any squeaky bum time happening.

Oh, and another shit ref!
 
Just need to get the final third bit sorted. Disappointing result but you can still see the progress being made. Nowhere near the finished article yet but let's not forget it's only been 2 months.
We may not see the end result this season but the future looks promising to me.
 
The fitness of our players is a bit suspect again!

Boro had players in the team today that played against Chelsea mid week, but the likes of Honeyman goes down with cramp, yet he and the rest of the team that played today had a whole week off!

How does that happen?

Skeletal muscle cramps may be caused by muscle fatigue or a lack of electrolytes[citation needed] such as sodium (a condition called hyponatremia), potassium (called hypokalemia), or magnesium (called hypomagnesemia[8]). Some skeletal muscle cramps do not have a known cause.[6] Motor neuron disorders (e.g., amyotrophic lateral sclerosis), metabolic disorders (e.g., liver failure), some medications (e.g., diuretics and inhaled beta‐agonists), and haemodialysis may also cause muscle cramps.[6]

Causes of cramping include[9] hyperflexion, hypoxia, exposure to large changes in temperature, dehydration, or low blood salt. Muscle cramps can also be a symptom or complication of pregnancy; kidney disease; thyroid disease; hypokalemia, hypomagnesemia, or hypocalcaemia (as conditions); restless legs syndrome; varicose veins;[10] and multiple sclerosis.[11]

As early as 1965, researchers observed that leg cramps and restless legs syndrome can result from excess insulin, sometimes called hyperinsulinemia.[12]

That's what I thought.

Problem is, if we’re close to the FFP limit, I doubt JB can give Joe any money in the summer! If that happens then we’ll be relying on loans again next season (which isn’t necessarily a bad thing), but we have a good crop of youngsters coming through (and some have made the bench this season), and maybe once we’re safe in the Championship, Joe should give them a chance and see what they can do for us?

That is something Rowett didn't do when we were safe, so let’s hope Joe lives up to his billing as the head coach that does well with youngsters!

Well, we all knew that!

Cuh!*
 
Not actually peed off to be honest. A fraction of luck and we could have won quite easily. Goals change games and if coops scores to go 2-0 it could have been a comfortable win. We are playing better football, controlled accurate and quick fluid passing, some sublime stuff at times. If a big if we had a natural clinical scorer we would be right up there. Still things to improve and work on but I think we are going the right way under Joe. Let’s not forget the injuries haven’t helped in having a settled side. Was enjoyable to watch, in my opinion.
