    Takeaway

    Boro
    Fantastic threaded one touch passing finding gaps .
    Terrible end product

    Us
    Star has been Neufville
    Touray looks a tad isolated because Bobby who lacking pace which would allow the full back room to move forward and find gaps , so no outlet down that side .
    Tilt and Byrne been decent but Wright struggling with his passing .
    If that’s Boro’s best 11 will they struggle ?

    How we lining up? Looks like Leigh and Power in the centre of a 4 man midfield. 3 at the back and then Humphrys flanked slightly deeper by Pointon and Sarc. Assuming we set up the same as last season. Do we think the formation is set in stone with only the personnel changing?

    It's been bleak af! I'm afraid the world club cup and the women's euros haven't quite cut it for me. 2nd Aug can't come quick enough.

    For those having trouble try Staffs idea . Boro’s official stream on their site is faultless so far .

    Hard to tell....could be a knock that clears up next week or a tear that could take a few months. He was in pain but hobbled off in end.

    Quite worrying how they were just running past our midfield without seemingly breaking sweat.

    Not a lot of cohesion with our front three or midfield either.

    On the plus side, we have defended fairly well thus far

    I think we need to be sensible and remember there are 8 new players we are bedding in and they have only had 3 games (45-60 mins each) together previously. Plus the opposition is a top end Championship team.

    Why are we time wasting in a friendly? Halliday taking 8 hours for a throw in
