Match Day Thread Middlesbrough v Hull City

For a change?

 

Considering we have some big lads in the central back 3, we are still unable to prevent a big forward winning everything in the air, i wonder if at some stage they take them lead studs out ffs.

 

Adkins got credit for the change in formation and approach against Forest, I suspect the opposite will be true today, not sure why the switch to 3-5-2, i'd have stuck with 4-2-3-1 even if it meant playing Dio on one flank

 

''The thing that bothers me is that we train well Monday-Friday and play a certain way, but when the bell rings we play a different way''

Chris Coleman - 2 days ago, it's what poor teams at the bottom do.

 

FFS that says it all, Gestedes second league goal of the season !!!

 

Hardly prolific.

 

it's nigel adkins
he doesn't know anything he does

oh and burton 1 up

 

Gestede's ****e.

But, bar the cup win, we always struggle up there.

 

2 strikers 100 yards apart and 3 centre midfielders who couldn't fight their way out of a paper bag , joke from Adkins this

 

Tbf to Adkins i can see what he trying to do, he has 2 wingers injured, the third isnt obviously fit, and he is trying to create width with the wing backs, alas the quality he is trying to play it with isn`t great

 

When I saw the XI I assumed Hector was Centre mid. That would made more sense in my eyes.

 

Too many words 'blood - Atkins is trying, and failing, to polish a turd.

 

Needs Meyler as one of the 3 ,even out of form they are too soft them 3 ,

 

I saw the first 11 and stuck Boro in my acca

 

bolton 1 - 0 sunderland
burton 1 - 0 barnsley

birmingham 1 down

 

I did say before kick off our midfield looked light, and to add insult to injury Bolton beating Sunderland

 

I saw the starting 11 and saw a defeat.

 

Brentford beating Birmingham 1-0

 

Is there a video?

 

Other teams in and around the bottom 3 showing more stomach for the fight.
