Boro (A) Match Thread

[DerbyRam!]

Could it be the tiniest of silver livings that "crook"s could and should be banned retrospectively?

 

Then again, probably boro would want to sue us at the end of the season again, when they finish 7th because their player got banned retrospectively for a disgusting challenge! And it cost them the playoffs. We should be careful...

Was always going to be a difficult game, yet that's a harsh scoreline. 2 own goals then when you look at Stearman's sending off against Huddersfield, Crooks shouldn't have even been on the pitch to score their 3rd.

Hard to see us coming back from this now. 

Hopefully Coventry can do something to help us in the second half v Reading.

If he was sent off you could probably say that 2nd wouldnt have happened either

Derby have been unlucky here. Both of Boro’s opening goals were fortunate and then to rub salt into the wounds Crooks, who should have seen red, netted in injury time (tine allocated from his own dreadful tackle).

I thought Boro would beat us today regardless but it really doesnt help when you get such poor luck against you.

As for Boro. Grubby place, grubby club. They’re so ugly they and Gibson deserve each other.

No matter how bad you feel right now, just be grateful you don’t live in that hole of a city and support such a souless club.

It's got that "russia around the time of the fall of communism" vibe to it.

FFS cant believe this.

Said it earlier in the week no way this game will define our season, we need some composure 2nd half, try and get a goal back then see how it goes - not concede 5 or 6 ..

[B4ev6is]

Come on derby we can do this

2 lucky goals to them.

[Boycie]

At least we didn’t spend any money at the bars in the ground, that’s 3-3 in my book.

Formation and tactics just wrong today. Rooney should have changed it when he saw how exposed we are in left back position. Leaving 2 up front? Not from kick off. Crazy. Doesn’t help that Thompson is having a total mare..can’t leave him on surely…?

Disagree i think we've played fairly well. 

All of Boro's best moves have come through sloppiness. Maybe we can ask Rooney why Thompson is doing so badly in his role but even then basic passes and clearances aren't a tactical thing.

Matt Crooks...

From the very little I've seen of him, he is those horrible players that are sly and cowardly, puts a boot in after the ball has gone, always late with challenges, elbows anyone who challenges him for a header. Always feel like he is going to injure someone everytime he steps foot on the pitch. 

When you know, you know.

In the grand scheme of things it's not a key game, we need to beat teams further down. Plus we never seem to do good away at boro anway.

still annoying.

This really ducks me off.

But the goals have been mostly down to poor defending.

Because every time they get near our box they have 5 or 6 players waiting for the ball,they are over running our defence,

[Mr Tibbs]

Some defending there for their third. Can't rely on refs to win games for us, need to make our own luck and defending like that is not going to get us far. 

Need to come out a lot more assured than that first 45. 

[Sparkle]

I would be taking Lawrence off ( we need him in future games before he gets sent off) at half time with Thompson may as well get Sibley and young Malcolm on and save feisty unless we get close. 
we simply don’t have the players to lose any more and we need to remain competitive as well as needing a referee who is actually capable of doing the job fairly 

[Big Trav]

we are playing well. better than them. just a shame playing with thompson past 4 or 5 games is like playing with 10 men. crooks should be off. mike deans a big bottle job

[roboto]

Had the Boro commentary on for the first half. They agreed that Crooks was lucky to stay on, but they were obviously happy that Dean was lenient.

The Tavernier and Lawrence scuffle they said that Lawrence was doing all the pushing and pulling but the replay shows Tavernier pulling his shirt, pushing him and squaring up.

The Bird goal rocked them. We can get this back. Need to keep Jones quiet on their right. We need Ebosele down the left wing to keep him pinned back.

Buchanan is scared. Why are balls dropping and he’s not getting anywhere close to the strikers.

ROFL!

Except for that amazing tackle he put in when Dean blocked Bielik...

No because he was booked for it. Can’t look at it retrospectively. 

[Millenniumram]

Fear losing Jagielka could be the final nail In our  relegation coffin. Can’t keep conceding this many goals and expect to survive. Don’t think we’ve kept a clean sheet since he left.

[Rammy03]

I honestly stilll believe we can get something here
