Absolutely shocking. This has to be on McKenna. |  |

I’m sorry but you can’t blame McKenna for some of the passing last night, horrific. |  | | |

After sleeping on it, I admit my op was possibly an overreaction. The first half was okay and we should have had another penalty.
Important that we win on Tuesday and put last night to bed. COYB. | |

That last minute summed up most of the game. Passing it around between O’Shea and Furlong with the clock ticking down & no sense of urgency when it needed to go in the box. And then taking ages over a throw in before the final whistle blows. |
This. Pointless with 40 seconds of added time to go. We lack urgency throughout and our tempo is ponderous for 95% of the game. |  |

Reactions immediately after the game are always dangerous - too emotional  . I kept away from the forum until this morning.
We seemed off the pace at times last night. We also had dominate periods. The stats bear this out. They missed a number of opportunities, but so did we. It could easily have been 3:3 at HALF time, or we could also have been ahead.
I’d have been happy with a point at ‘Boro, so last night leaves us a point off the pace. Win when ‘Boro come to Portman Road, and we’ve done OK against a good team who will be top 6 by the end of the season.
Overall, as always, there are too many people with black & white opinions about the game. Disappointing result yes, and the game stats suggest we should have come away with something.
Win on Tuesday and we’re still on track. |  | | |

It wasn’t the worst performance of the season. That was Preston away. We played well until the penalty miss although our weak point during that period was our midfield with Cajuste especiaky being very lethargic.
We were poor in the second half and absolutely shell shocked after the second. McKenna should have changed things as soon as that goal went in. |  |

Yes, KM has no clue away from home. |
The OP may have down arrows, but we have two losses and two draws (I'm generously leaving our defeat in that Bromley car park out of the account).
No team in the whole division has fewer points per game away.
Norwich have more than three times as many points per game away.
We also have a bigger PPG difference between home and away than any other club.
It's hard to know how to spin that in a positive light.
And home or away, a win against a top half team is needed to show that we are capable of genuinely useful form. You can only (try to) beat what's in front of you, but overcoming Sheff Utd, Norwich and Portsmouth at home proves very little. |  | | |

I actually thought Portsmouth was our worst performance so far this season, but the result masked the performance.
But we are reaching that 10 game mark, and we do need to bring some domination into our game.
I'm still worried about our midfield/ No.10 position. Some fans have stated our midfield is a 'cheat' in this league, but they haven't dominated like Hackney did for long periods last night.
Hirst, while his form isn't great, is missing Chaplin, or a No.10 who sticks closer to him, he's isolated too often. A No.10 who also moves the ball to different sides of the pitch. Too many times last night, we had players wide in loads of space and no player quickly changing the ball direction to them.
Really not sure about Szmodics in the No.10 role, we're 9 games and 80mins into the season, his strength has been scoring goals, but no goals, maybe 3 shots at best on target, but many off target.
But overall based on last night Edwards has Boro moving the ball quickly, players making clever runs opening up the opposition midfield/defence, trying different ideas - I can see why Ashton liked the cut of Edwards jib, when looking at a McK replacement. Whereas we're still utilising the passing back and forth in our 3rd of the pitch to try and create space. Which im ok with, however, the trouble is when a player finds that space, we play the ball to the opposite side of the pitch. |  | | |
