[gooseh]

Fantastic start. Will end 0-3

 

[skegblade]

Seriki in no mans land ffs

 

[jono_t2000]

Have to say we've been decent, but Boro look a class above. The way they play themselves out of trouble so calmly and beat the press and then attack in numbers.

They actually remind me a bit like Leeds at their peak last season..

 

[Seun]

Bindon has a horrendous habit of being drawn out of position, leaving tons of space for attackers to exploit.

 

[fifty shades of blade]

Seriki in no mans land ffs

Dont be daft ffs

 

[Æthelstan]

Our defence seems shaky. Feels like we only have one defender.

 

[Designer Blade]

We are far to open on both flanks

 

[Northernsoulblade]

Getting through our midfield too easy

 

[Champagneblade]

Been good going forward but giving away miles too much space at the back.

 

[FriethBlade]

Their midfield has too much space in our final third, missing Jairo in a game like this

 

[HarryHaslam]

Seriki in no mans land ffs

Not too sure about that, he was the free man in the right position as Tanganga was marking the goal scorer closely, then all of a sudden Tanganga ran to the man with the ball and completely left his man totally free. Seriki tried to cover him but certainly wasn’t his fault.

 

[VictoryBlade]

Typical United, big game eh? FFS

 

[WestYorksBlade]

Another comeback win would do nicely United

 

[Æthelstan]

Ah they're running circles around us now in the midfield

 

[Northernsoulblade]

Good movement from boro we need to step it up but not looking good

 

[FriethBlade]

Ah they're running circles around us now in the midfield

Blaster is a passenger when we edont have the ball, as is Hamer, so they are playing through us

 

[Sharp_as_a_Blade]

Big fan of both Peck and Blaster, but even when Blaster gets back to full fitness i don't think they're built to play together

 

[Æthelstan]

Big fan of both Peck and Blaster, but even when Blaster gets back to full fitness i don't think they're built to play together

Feels like they have similar roles, we need a big bastard to be causing havoc

 

[shrubbery]

The Peck Arblaster axis is not working - Boro finding far too much space in the middle of the park

 

[Seun]

Nah get Bindon off. He's pissing me right off getting drawn to the ball like a dog to a bone, and getting done every time.

 

[DroitwichBlade]

getting bossed about too much here

 

[Seun]

How has he missed that?

 

[MILLERtheBLADE]

Think we look decent on the ball, though Boro are defending well.

Out of possession we look a bit ragged - Boro’s movement causing us all types of problems.

 

[Sharp_as_a_Blade]

What a ball by Hamer, should have scored

 

[MILLERtheBLADE]

Fantastic game though. Just like that we could be 2-1 up

 

[Champagneblade]

Annoying how easily we give the ball away.

 

[Wetwang blade]

A bit of luck and we could be infront with 2 stunning goals. Keep the faith! UTB

 

[shrubbery]

Could easily be 3-3 already with better finishing from both sides

 

[Sharp_as_a_Blade]

Bindon having a terrible game, always out of position

 

[Older Blade]

Second to every ball now, midfield lost
