Match Day Thread Middlesbrough vs QPR

What happen as we now seem a different and less fluid team?

Missed the last 20 minutes due to a family lunch!

 

Uncle Albert having an absolute blinder at the moment, defending everything that comes anywhere near him.

 

More saves from Dieng at the end of the half. We will need to get better control of the midfield again 2nd half. Johansen need some support, think he needs to take Chair off who is quiet again, or Thomas, and put Field on with Johansen in central mid.

 

I think we have to bring on Ball for Kakay and put Ball central.

I honestly think if we don't, Boro will score the next goal.

We needed half time and a good chat backstage might be able to sort us out. But Kakay leaving the field has become essential (if we stick with this formation). He's a decent RB but not a CB.

We could go four at the back with Barbet and Dickie central, allowing Kakay to take up his natural position.

Let's see what Warburton has up his sleeves. I think it's all about the managers in the second half.

 

On way home after being allowed out beyond our 5km travel limits..... hopefully back in time to catch last half hour....

C'mon Rangers

 

No changes ar HT. Dieng continues with plasters over his nose.

 

They shoot just wide, on the break again.

 

Nice passing play from us, ends with Johansen shooting wide.

 

Dykes needed to bang that first touch. Why did he take another touch???

 

Oh crapola

 

Dieng gets a red, brings down Whatmore on a break. Last man

Lumley on, Thomas off.

 

Dieng rightly sent off, but why did the ref stop play? They could have scored.

 

Joe saves easily from Hall.

 

Dieng red carded.

Lumley is on and we are reduced to 10 men.

Can we hang on for the win, or even a draw?

It will be a long 30 minutes.

Let’s see the mental strength and character of our team!

COYR’s!!!

 

Hang on now boys!

 

Completely forgot it was a 1230pm kick off.
Been out doing chores in the lovely sunshine and lunch in the garden.
Wish I hadn't looked in now.
Presumably, now we're down to 10 it can only end one way.

 

We are pushed well back. Corner, free,... Anazing save Joe!!

Field and Ball coming on it seems.

 

Outstanding save from Lumley !!!

 

Hope Joe will see this as a chance to claim his place in the side back...both today and however many games Dieng is suspended for.

 

Yep, I've got us down for a 3-1 win too.
