Match Day Thread Middlesbrough v Hull City

[Jeff Lynnes PBCW™]

Dawson had the chance today to show an independence of mind.

Kamara on his natural right hand side.
Put Dremah on the natural right hand side.
Play Burstow as a striker rather than as a right winger.
But no. This may as well have been Walter’s team selection and instructions.

 

[HHH]

Slaters was 0.35 xG, Burstows was 0.61.

Mate, you're the only person who thought that was a tough chance

 

[HCAFC (Airlie Tiger)]

We actually look like a football team again which is the main thing.

We were never going to win this one, even more so when every decision has gone against us. But I’m confident we can beat the teams around us going forward.

 

[SydneyTiger14]

Mate, you're the only person who thought that was a tough chance

In 100 attempts slaters would be scored 35, which is still decent but not a gimme.

 

[NewcastleTiger]

Mehlem has been good since he came on

 

[HullCityAFC1904]

Pedro is done physically, football left him. Bedia at least still can run.

People forget that fundamentals of any sport athleticism, than skill.

If football left Pedro I'm not sure if it ever found Bedia. Burstow needs to be number one now and hope for the best till the window opens again and we can get somebody else in

Exactly no different to Walter.
Boro has been in 2nd gear.

 

[oozkan]

Finish the game FFS, I can't tolerate anymore.

 

[TigerMarv]

Burstow’s goal was a glitch in the matrix. He managed one for Sunderland last season and didn’t change the fact he’s gash.

One of our players comes off the bench scores and still gets called gash you just couldn't make this **** up

That still proves my point, at least Bedia can run, still better than Pedro. Burstow ahead of him or not, that's another discussion.

 

[HullCityAFC1904]

Except darts

Snooker? Look at Murphy

 

[HHH]

In 100 attempts slaters would be scored 35, which is still decent but not a gimme.

I'd have give my grandma an an xG of 0.9 and she's dead.

I'd like to here Castro's opinion on those xG stats. along with a few other subjects

 

[Kalman II]

Yeah, because he is gash.

 

[Tiger15]

I think this is about as good as we could’ve expected today. Shown enough. Pedro is done, Bedia has to start as most have been saying for weeks. I do think with palmer, Omur, Marvin and puerta, we’ve atleast got some tidy options if we go back to basics and can actually play through midfield

 

[HCAFC (Airlie Tiger)]

Exactly no different to Walter.
Boro has been in 2nd gear.

If you can’t see how that was different to Walter then there’s not much we can do for you.

 

[HullCityAFC1904]

Needs to start for me now might go on a scoring run now Burstow. Plus he's mobile and looks hungry

I thought slater should have done better but for him - Not renowned for heading - it was tough. Pedro had an easier chance in stoppage time. Anyway good goal for burstow which as was said, was a tap in but a "right place right time" thing.

 

[TigerMarv]

Yeah, because he is gash.

Do you not get fed up of embarrassing yourself

 

[Sir Cheshire Ben]

Far improved performance. Dawson achieves more with the players in 2 days than the last Manager did in 5 months.

 

[Kalman II]

Great game of football that. Proper response by the players.
