Senseless replacing Jackson (who played OK anyway) with Sears as it meant we had no proper strikers on the pitch. At 2-0 down. Lots (well some) crosses had no targets. Very clear tonight we lack any squad depth to change things. I don't mind Nolan, but he was too lightweight, shoved off the ball too often. Would have made more sense to replace him at half time. Thought we started well, but crumbled quickly after the first goal. Clueless going forward, really brittle in defense. Boro won at a canter. Set pieces dire. Positives? Chalobah was great until he tired about 10m from the end. Looked like he was willing to take Boro on by himself, tackling and passing brilliantly, even shooting well. Dozzell looked slick, a lot better than Nolan. Sears threatning for a couple of minutes. Some spirit. But it's rubbish really, isn't it? A right mess. Hard to see beyond relegation as things are. | |
