Outplayed by a championship team. 

Too many in this team believe in their own hype. They need to be reminded that they are a mid table Premier League team.

What was that from Madueke

Colwill hasn't had a good game at LB yet.

Agreed so begs the question why does poch persist with it? What is he trying to solve for when colwill is about as useful as a chocolate teapot at lb. I really don't get it.

"No control there, no composure" is a fairly good general description of Madueke

People keep telling me Caicedo isn't doing badly. The guy has been a sh*te signing so far.

Unfortunately you're right. Whatever stats might be waved in your face.

Madueke seems to be the only one who’s trying to make a difference

Poch basically said the same in the press conference

Enzo and Caicedo have been massively disappointing 

As have the other 9 players. 

Surely take him off and put Alfie on 

Colwill and disasi are f**king pony

I've seen nothing this season to suggest Colwiil is one of the top 200 centre backs in the world.

That's because he's barely played at centre back.

How many times are they in our third in a couple of passes, whilst we take a dozen to get to the halfway line..

Does my head in, surely the coaches see the same as we do ???

This generations salomon kalou. 

Boro's game plan is so simple yet its' completely rattled our back line. 

Silva is 40 years old and Disasi/Colwill don't have the greatest of pace. 

Dont panic everyone, what I though was more aimless crappy possession based football with no penetration or goals is in fact the strategy to get to Wembley

Hold on for a narrow 1-0 away defeat then win the tie back at The Bridge next week by playing a striker up top after not playing one today !

My god, we play awful football!

The 17 games he played at Brighton had people telling me he was he 2nd coming of JT

Potentially a consequence of the second coming of JT's father but nothing more

Colwill hasn't made the right decision or anything in the game. Nothing.

At least Noni is taking the fight to them

Is this your new agenda now? Have a day off mate, he's barely played as a CB.

Not on paper.

But even starting at left back there's lots of times he's dragged in or more prominently at set pieces he's defending in the box and he just isn't commanding.

Always looks shaky and has a mistake in him.

Would be better moving Colwill to CB, play Gusto LB and Disasi RB.

They would then shift their long balls to the left.

Why do we keep playing Colwill at LB for f**k sake... Can we just stop this nonsense. 

But what he gets done for is defending. Basic defending. He's a left footed defender, he should still be able to do the basics. His lack of positional awareness, dubious pace and aerial ability is worrying this season. At the moment he looks like another player that gets rave reviews about what he can do on the ball ignoring the defensive side.

Currently, other than Silva, I am yet to see any defender better than Chalobah who we are looking to move on.
