    They have been well on top the last 15. I think we look very poor. I still don’t understand how we don’t dominate the ball in our dominate the ball strategy.

    Unfortunately, I thought we looked solid until then

    I think it is our midfield that is woeful. We just can’t keep the ball without working it back to the keeper.

    I don’t know what planet Dean Hammond is on in the commentary.

    Singing saints praises but I think boro have been the better side by far tbh

    I have zero sympathy. If you're stupid enough to play Holgate, you can't be surprised when he makes a mistake.

    This is really not good enough if Middlesbrough are on top of us in their current form.

    This could easily end up becoming a 5+ game losing streak and with our aims we shouldn’t be losing many more than that all season…

    I don’t care about mistakes if we are dominating and the strategy is working. But we aren’t and it isn’t.

    Last minute defensive error. F*ck me.

    Have we got anyone who can talk on the pitch?

    We aren’t creating anywhere near enough chances to make these suicide tactics worth it.

    Lovely goal we scored but otherwise creating nothing. Against bottom of the table.

    Things that made that goal avoidable:

    1. Holgate was not a good choice of recipient to receive the ball
    2. Holgate was sleeping on where the pressure was going to come from
    3. Somebody could've let him know with a shout to get it away

    ****ing fed up with this. If we can't dominate a match against Middlesbrough then we really are ****ed. We are a total ****show under Martin.

    How on earth did Holgate play consistently in the Premier league when he's not even good enough for this level?
