Middlesbrough V Saints Match Thread!


SOTONS EAST SIDE

Recommended Posts

We've not been good at all since we scored, Boro are doing a good job pressing us and forcing us into long ball rubbish. On the other hand, we are standing off and giving them far too much space to play and take shots from the edge of the box, which is pretty much all they're doing.

 

Still think we'll pick up second half.

Bring Morgan on!

 

Their runners picking up second ball too easily in midfield!

 

Chaplow looks a different player to one before injury!

 

Hammond, isnt very good.

 

Butterfield good going forward, ****e at the back.

 

You gotta be kidding......butters is **** end of. He had a brilliant opportunity to go down the line and collect a pass and didn't and his balls out have been shocking. Take off the funny specs!

Morgan should be on if he's fit enough. Hammond is poor today.

 

Defending the D on the edge of the box is normally the responsibility of the centre midfielder who plays in front of the back four.

 

We've conceded goals from the D in three of the last four games - all of them when Schneiderlin was off the pitch and Hammond on it.

 

Coincidence? I suspect not.

Boro are playing the classic way against saints - pressing us high up the pitch, trying to break our rhythm, crowding davis on corners etc. Don't think we've responded badly to the challenge apart from that 10 minute spell after the goal. Hopefully shooting towards the saints crowd can galvanise the players.

 

Actually think chaplow's been quite good and i'm not usually a big fan - find his first touch (or lack of) frustrating.
