Middlesbrough vs Sheffield United

Litle/no impact on the midfield.

Would have been a 7 but for his role in the second goal. He was well placed covering the space just outside the box but rushed back into the area rather than leaving it for the defence to deal with, so was absent when the goalscorer took his chance. A shame.
Should have received a pass from Ndiaye in the first half to give him a tap in goal. A critical point in the match

A shocking performance from Billy. Everything went wrong in the first half, he was lucky to not be subbed before half time. He improved in the second half but Bamba had him in his pocket effortlessly all match

Our brightest spark probably. Kept trying to run at them and kept battling, but it wasnt his night.

His set piece and crossing delivery is usually good but he struggles in general play. Not promotion material

Kept going but was without quality. Cant ever string two decent performances together and struggles to start two games a week.

Tried hard, still developing. Needs to build links with team mates.

Really poor defensively, he tried to run at them but kept losing posession. Bit of a luxury player, when he is good he is very good. But he wasnt at the races today

Effort but no impact. Does not control midfield. Cannot tackle. No attacking intention

Truly abject. Summed up by the hopeless punt into the crowd from 40 yards out when we got a freekick. He let people run past him numerous times including on the goals. Very much Norwood of the relegation season. Lucky to not be subbed in the first half he was that bad

Lacked pace, energy and forward ambition. Last years problems persist

Awful. Gave the ball away countless times. didnt track back. Overwhelmed. a display right out of the bottom drawer.

Showed more attacking intent than Stevens. Needs the experience to develop his potential and should be first choice at left back.

Just poor. Cannot beat a championship full back, very good at not getting crosses past the first man.

Solid defensively but lacks pace and ambition going forward.Too much sideways. Prefer the newcomer

Even worse than Baldock.

Good against derby, superweak again tonight - lost every battle

Generally good but gave Whatmore too much space for the first goal

best of a bad bunch defensively

Awful in the first half when their left winger had him on toast several times. Got no help from MGW though. Slightly better in the second half but shanked numerous crosses and passes to noone
