Middlesbrough v Blackpool Official Matchday Thread 18.09.21

Can’t believe he’s dropped Jerry, ridiculous, particularly after watching 30 minutes of the completely ineffective JJ and Lavery partnership on Tuesday. Jerry is so important to us.

Garbutt still gets a start, he’s been woeful. Hubby and James both better options.

Crying out for 3-5-2 with the players we have.
Hes hardly been ripping it up tbph
 
Pathetic start to the season, no style of play at all, clueless at the back and no goal threat

Yet somehow think we could win today, probably delusion.
 
We've created a couple of chances but our defending is too often Billy Smart's Circus stuff. Keogh doing OK but always a bit caught on his right foot in the left CH position. Big Ek keeps giving it away. Garbutt is ... Garbutt. Sterling showing a bit of promise.
 
Its always Blackpool that have the shocking decisions.
I wonder if any of them could have actually played to the whistle knowing that the ref was going to probably play on
unfortunately , i don't think it was. Looked miles offside on first viewing but see it from a different camera and he seems to time his run perfectly.
 
I like to see exciting football which gets my pulse going ……..

Unfortunately that only seems to happen when we are playing it around at the back……

Nurse!!
 
This is really poor. It’s very disjointed and there’s almost no link up between midfield and attack. John Jules really needs to get his head in the game and quick.

Agree I think that early miss has unsettled him he doesn’t look that interested at the mo
 
We need another midfielder on as the two we have on are marked out of the game and the ball keeps going long from maxwell or keogh to lavery or tjj
 
I'm seeing a lot of criticism for TJJ, but has Lavery, Bowler or Anderson done anything of note?

I'm not watching so can't give an opinion. Sky sports stats showing 63% possession for us?!

when you pass it back and forth along the back line it'll increase your possession stats.
