(h) v Middlesbrough League (Carabao) Cup 3rd Round - Tue 26 September 2023 7.45pm

Nope.

 

Very one sided their knocking the ball about well.

 

1 - 0 Boro

 

Poor defending and poor keeping.

 

Right to left , banks to Kennedy ,
Palin going in

 

We need to put a challenge in Boro completely controlling the game, this could be 4/5

 

Faffing around with the formation isn't helpful. Our midfield is being over run as we seem to have a lack of wide midfielders tracking runners.

 

Thanks for the updates. Maybe glad not on I follow now.

 

This is HOW playing out from the back should be played, the movement off the ball is Championship stuff.

 

Can we sneak a goal and play for penalties.

 

Well, you say that but that's what I was thinking would be our way to win, they'd be in front and not really having the urgency to push for a second and then we grab and equaliser late on and win on penalties.

 

At the moment their looking a very capable side, so I'll take penalties.

 

Whilst it remains 1-0 the second half should see some immediate changes. Clearly they are better quality bring a CC side.

Get Afoke off as he seems to be a passenger. Bobby on and the West Brom lad on.

This isn’t over yet.

 

Well spotted Dave, they are a CC side

 

This says it all from Simon Parker : Whistle blows on a one-sided half - City probably relieved to be only the one down ...

 

Clever finish. Lewis did not anticipate that at all.

 

Their playing like one, there must be some good teams as Boro aren't playing like a side third bottom of the Championship, not going to criticise our lads their just passing round us.

 

I'd certainly give Tulloch a run.
Just brought the lad Tulloch on at start of second half

 

We need to just go for it big style this second half

Sod it if we lose by a large margin
