That half was as poor as I've seen under Enzo.  Just shows that if teams are brave enough to have a go, we are easy to get through.  Just not many teams attempt it. 

[Noahfence]

If we score within 10 minutes I reckon we get at least a point. 

[Dahnsouff]

Middlesborough, you can be our Arsenal, just don`t forget the dressing room inspiration photo  

[sishades]

I fear that this game is beyond us. Boro have us sussed completely and utterly. With Leeds next Friday this is a very bad day! Boro are so comfortable. Not our day today.

Costly misses first half. But it's not over. An early goal second half and Boro will be sweating, and that'll play into our hands.

But he is the best quarterback in the Championship so worth a new contract if we get promoted 👀

everyone has bad games, you don’t solely judge on that. But he’s having a horrid day at the office

Need to get a shot on target though 

It’s fine. He’ll change it up at half time and if he doesn’t then we deserve to lose anyway.

 

Still 8 points clear. 🦊

Praet is such a lackluster Perez esque player. Just totally uninspiring.

[South Shire Fox]

Bullied. Defending has been absolutley disgusting. Theyre attacking at 100mph everytime and the defence is completely oblivious to the danger. Wing play has been shite aswell, trying the same thing over and over again. Mix it up ffs

Think we got complacent. We are expecting to beat the likes of Middlesbrough without putting the performance in. Nothing is a given in this league and its come to bite us on the arse. Need a massive second half with some proper sense of urgency.

[trabuch]

Middlesborough should be down to 10, and we should have been 2-0 up before they scored. Our vulnerability to the counter attack was disturbing. We aren't out of this, however.

[foxes_rule1978]

Pathetic half really, no shots on goal and we are at home

[cruzFOX]

Regardless of how borough prepared for this game our boys simply are not on it at the moment. Was it a late nite? Looking leggy? They aren't making simple traps, winning the 1st or 2nd balls. Quality is poor across the park. MASSIVE HALF TIME HAIRDRYER NEEDED FROM ENZO NOW. Sort this out FFS! 

[inckley fox]

My word, Faes is going to get destroyed if we get out of this league. Praet is a waste of everyone's time and energy. The wingers have also been awful. Apart from that, it's splendid.

What’s the Scottish league got to do with this? 

The premier league used to be called the premiership  

[Fox85]

We won't come back after this we do not have the Tatics to come back now.

 

It will be like for like subs and then just accept defeat

Not according to the oneboro fan forum.

They’re apparently wracked with injuries, Dieng (returning from injury?) should be the starting GK instead of Glover, and Forss (perhaps also not match fit) is apparently their best available forward. You know, all of the ingredients for a shock result. 

[ARM1968]

Well that was absolute ass. Have a go at us and we fall apart. Enzo better get his wand out during the break. 

[DennisNedry]

I'm at the game.

 

We were on top and missed a couple of very good chances (Vestegard, Daka).

 

Sucker punched for the goal. Looked miles offside in real time. Sucker punched again for 0-2.

 

Middlesbrough defending well and were clinical with the goals, this would be one hell of a smash and grab.

[The Guvnor]

Missed two guilt edge chances and left ourselves wide open at the back, what else is there to say .

[SecretPro]

I'd deffo get Akgun on. Desperate need his movement and terrier like effort. So much better than Praet its unreal.

We seem to have really great runs then a couple of poor results which leads to another good run. Hopefully if we do lose this we can respond in a similar way.

Which means we lose at Leeds too ?

 

the youth in my house are struggling big time with a negative result.  Really hope we never get to a stage where they’re needed to fight for the country …..

[mod hero]

Fatawu is a bit of a one trick pony atm, needs to change his game up. Cutting in and putting crosses in not working.

It’s a continuation of the 2nd half on Tuesday which was equally as bad
